Saturday was  our anniversary. There is some dispute about how many years we have been married, but it’s generally acknowledged to be five or six. We don’t usually do much for it, with three kids and no baby-sitters, but we did have a wedding, thanks to our creative daughters.

Tacy was bridesmaid, Dakota was the flower [...]

I just typed this whole post about Tacy’s birthday and then Firefox barfed and now I am back to zero. Stupid computers. Now it’ll just be the condensed version.

Turns out, when we’re all kind of sick and can’t get to the grocery store, we ended up eating all sorts of homemade goodness, mainly out of necessity. Several people out there in internet land have made homemade bagels lately, so I thought I’d better give them a try too. I used this [...]

We went not expecting much, but were pleasantly surprised to find spinach, carrots, onions, and some greens in addition to all the goodies. We got [...]
