Not This Week

Now I’ve got the sickness Cute W had. Which was to be expected, what with all the cootie-passing. So I’m wimping out and not putting together this week’s listing. Hopefully I’ll get something more complete out tomorrow. This week it’s the Riverway Storytelling Festival with events at a variety of locations. Monday, April 4th: At … [Read more…]

Cross Country Skiing

I’m feeling slothful and uninspired at the moment. I even whined to Cute W that I didn’t know what to post tonight. Really, I have a list of possible posts, but just about all of them required some research or writing effort. So what I really meant was, I didn’t know what I could post … [Read more…]

This year, J said that she wanted a fairy party and the first thing out of M’s mouth … [Read more…]

This Weekend with updates

Yikes!  I keep having to update with items I’d squirreled any in my email and forgotten–sorry! Did anybody else catch that super-gorgeous rainbow today at about, um, 5:45 pm?  We so completely deserved that rainbow, didn’t we?   I mean, seriously, we made it through a lot of rain.  I was over-volunteering at elementary school today, … [Read more…]

First Week in October

I know that the regularly scheduled events page is still a mess, but I promise that I’ve been working on it.  I’ve got a lingering cold and I took a massive 2+ hour nap today (thank you honey) and I’m still sleepy.  Pathetic.  Here’s what’s going on this week: Monday, October 4th: Shannon Hayes will … [Read more…]
