Aaaaah. I love my family.

Hey!  I’m back!  What a wonderful five days it’s been.  We had been so looking forward to a visit with Adam and Martha – we hadn’t seen them since we visited them in Mexico City in May.  And with a...

Transitions.

Transitions.  We used to be all about planning our move.  Then making the move.  Then I wrote about everything foreign and strange.  That was then…now I blog about our ordinary life, but our ordinary life in Mexico.  And it’s a...

Knitting update

Project update

We’ve had workers in the backyard for a week and a half now, and they have made a lot of progress!  The plan is for a long roofed patio to be constructed next to the house, and grass in the...

It’s a family thing…

Paul and I are excited about our son Adam and his wife Martha making us grandparents of a little girl this coming January! We have known for a while about their wonderful news, but I hesitated to share it with...

Ordinary Life
