Thoughts on Living the Life Creative
Kind of a quiet week, that was inevitable. First full week of The Kid headed out the door bright and early for her new (FULL TIME!!!) job. She seems to enjoy the work and the people so I am over the moon for her. This week saw Sunday School getting cranked back up so... Continue Reading →
In sports this is called a "trap week". The week where you're feeling good, focused on something other than what's right in front of you and it bites you. This was the second very good week in a row. I can begin to feel the changes (pants are a little looser, on some of them... Continue Reading →
I've had some fun blogging about wine and travelling to wineries. The reality is that while I truly enjoy wine, I've been drinking beer longer. My first were stolen swigs of my father's Iron City (still a sentimental favorite).The there was cheap beer in college (PBR!) Along the way I've continued to enjoy beer. But I've...

It's that date again. That date that will never be the same for any of us. When we take a moment and remember where we were and what we did. For some of us it's a date when we remember who we lost. This date will never be the same for us. But that doesn't... Continue Reading →

Things have been busy but I'm trying to get back into my routine. We are now three. The Little Lady in My Life (LLiML?) has joined us. On her visits down here she has really enjoyed the area and the hospitality. So she decided to just make the move. There wasn't a lot in the... Continue Reading →
Last week wasn't as bad as it could be. This one was. I don't even want to talk about it. The whole family is joining in on a new discipline, starting this week. Back to food journaling, which I hate but which I know works. Minimum of 5 workouts a week. Lots of salad for... Continue Reading →
It's time to declare that vacation is over. When we moved to Richmond it felt like we had gone on an extended vacation. Not that I wasn't going to work every day and doing my job. But the weather has been beautiful, we're living in a great apartment with a pool just a short way... Continue Reading →
I am still struggling. Work is ramping up as we head back into the program year. We have a "surprise" deadline that is making life a little difficult. Plus both of the ladies in my life continue to struggle finding employment. It's put me in a less than ideal space for focussing on things like... Continue Reading →
So a two week pause. One week had a good excuse, the second one didn't. Not to worry, we're back in the groove. Showing off our new "hometown" to our daughter was great fun. She was really, really impressed. Which brings me to this week's topic - how much we really like this area. Now... Continue Reading →
