Five more minutes.
by julie on February 13, 2011
Nothing like being sick to make you appreciate sleep. Normally, I find sleeping a huge waste of my time… But not the past few days. Would love nothing more than to stay cozy in bed just a little longer. Unfortunately, (…)
Spring — full speed ahead.

Geeze. I don’t remember much of March or April and May is half gone. What’s the hurry? Grant turned seven a couple weeks ago. (Enjoy those baby teeth while you still got’em!) He came home from school on the Friday (…)
Room with a view.

There are many reasons why I’m beginning to love living in Alaska (many more since moving into our home in Eagle River) but here’s just one — the view from my bedroom window. This was taken just before the sun (…)
Snow me away.
by julie on December 21, 2006
We’re up to what seems at least a foot of snow. And now that we’re x-country skiing twice a week, I say “Bring it on!!” Talking to all our family in Seattle without electricity for the past week, I’m suddenly (…)
Back in the saddle.

Although now that I think of it that title sounds painful, since I’m having a certain problem that begins with an H… Delayed reaction to having a baby, apparently. But we won’t go there. What I was going to say (…)

One more week until due date. The big question is: Am I capable of going into labor on my own? Let’s just say I’m thinking the odds are probably not that good. I did get a killer prescription for heartburn (…)

We finished the second phase of the back yard. More irrigation and some lovely zoysia. I spent all weekend planting more shrubs and moving perrenials in the garden we planted this past spring. No change in the mosquito population.
Right this minute.

May came and went. I haven’t had a thought in my head that didn’t have something to do with “What has to been done right this minute?” The biggest news I have to report is Grant has potty trained himself. (…)
Louis layed an egg.
by julie on April 14, 2003
The most amazing thing happened. I found two little dove eggs in Louis’ cage this morning. It seems as if we might need to change Louis’ name to Louise. Eric’s parents came into town on the 5th and we worked (…)
Hey, I’m sleeping.
by julie on March 24, 2003
It’s 75 degrees outside. I found hydrangeas and gerbera daisies for $7.99 while I was grocery shopping at Kroger. After close inspecition, I’m delighted to report that the cosmos, violas, and rununculas I planted around my front trees/shrubs are thriving. (…)
