Countess just doesn’t roll off the tongue…

It’s a Thursday afternoon and I’m just home nuzzling with my babies while celebrating the freedom of being off work. Shae suggests something spontaneous, something fun, and something that makes me cry. ‘It’s not far, and we can drop the kids off with Meg in Fort Worth,’ he says. I see the wheels have been [...]

Atta girl…

Retirement seems like such a concrete word, unless you’re Bret Farve, of course. As most who visit know, I started this venture out of artistic impression. The wholesale venue added greatly toward the ability to have access to less mainstream materials and the peer connection will always be cherished. But, due to the growth and [...]

House-Tree

“Mommmmaaaa!!!!”, she yells. A glimpse of scattered tresses and worn in boots dash from my view. “MaryAnn, where are you going?”, silence, “MARYANN!” Crap. Why won’t she listen? 3.5 hours in the car warranted a glance at the opened bottle of wine. “She’s in the house tree,” Mimi calls. “Oh ok, is it done?” [...]

Hi….

My name is Harper Jones, and I’m sucpiscious of my 21 month old’s drinkin’ problem. I knew stashin’ beers under the bed was comin’, I just didn’t expect it this soon. :) To explain: Our son likes his stuff in order. If he feels like a condiment, spice, beverage, et al, isn’t fitting in the [...]

A couple of genes…

That’s what seperates these dominant kiddos… oh and a few years too. When I was growing up visiting Grandmother and Honey Coot meant ghost stories, home made *everything*, prickle pear jam, the dark room (photography), cousin baths, and cousin fights…. From the hair pulling, name calling, down to the very last plot wielding detail… I [...]

Time Capsule

This reminds me of how fast life passes you by….. Because I swear it was just yesterday I was swinging with her…. Both under 2 years. It was fun this evening to go through the past 5 years. See how we’ve grown, laughed and loved. Fun fact about tomorrow: We start kindergarten… And yes, I [...]

To continue…

On the Polish side of things…. The wedding was beautiful, as was the bride….. as my uncle would say, ‘Must be the Polak, in us.’ Congrats cuz!!!

Family enrichment

There are a lot of tear sodden poems and memoirs about the bond between sisters…. I prefer the thousand word story. ‘Kocham cie Babci’ (I love you, Grandmother)

Shoulder weight

Enough said…. This place seems to make it a bit lighter, no?
