She’s the Mary.
Michelle: I'm the Mary and you're the Rhoda.Romy: That's ridiculous. You're the Rhoda. You're the Jewish one. Michelle: Oh my God! I'm talking cuteness-wise, okay? And cuteness-wise, I'm the Mary."When I am with my sisters, we have an instant familiarity and rapport that comes of sharing so much life for so many years. We easily ...
Just roll with it …
One of my faithful readers turns fourteen today. She is a sweet, smart, and talented young lady. And the kind of person you want your own daughter to be friends with, which works out well, really, because she's one of Lucy's dearest friends. Not only that, but I adore the rest of her family, too. So, it's all good. Happy Birthday, Ali. And ...
As you wish.
For my birthday last month Eric got me the most fabulous gift - a projector and a giant 10 foot screen. I know what you're thinking: "Wow. How romantic." (Not!) But, seriously, I have been wanting this for YEARS. But let me tell you why.I want to show movies outside in my backyard. (I told you I love movies.) So, we're ...
Six degrees of dinner conversation…
The discussions around our dinner table are never dull. We are constantly trying to stump each other with questions. Sometimes we play "Twenty Questions" or "World's Worst." But we always get back to movies. We love movies. We (by choice) don't have cable, so we don't watch tv. (although, I admit we do have some tv on dvds)But ...

Party people
We celebrated Ben's birthday with a pool party yesterday. It was a beautiful day and great fun and I can't believe I forgot my camera. =( But here are a few of the cousins at the "after party." Where was this "after party?" Well ... the girls are sitting at the foot of their grandmother's bed...in the hospital.(everything ...
Just us.
Amy had a birthday on the 16th of this month.And I took her to see Chayanne.And I won't even mention that whole trip-to-Miami thing. ;-) And she did get to celebrate with her friends and go dancing and all that. But, our family dinner was preempted by Father's Day and a houseful of people. And she still wanted our traditional "family ...
Pomp and Circumstance
If you had met my sweet Lucy a few years ago, your impression would probably be that she was a quiet girl.You might even be tempted to use the word, shy. But, I'll just put all speculation to rest.All my kids have very BIG personalities.But Lucy does fall into the "quiet" category when you first meet her or don't know her very well. I got ...
