“Laura...go fetch me the coffee mill, will you? I need to grind some wheat for dinner.”You’ve heard, perhaps, about the December blizzard that’s slamming the Midwest today?Yep, that’s us.It’s hard to do justice to a snowstorm from one’s doorway.Better to hand the camera to my husband.Should I do that before or after he gives me a smack?What can I … [Read more...]

Subtitled: Stream-of-ConsciousnessI need to follow George’s lead. There’s no way I could, though! I’d be all like “Who left these glasses lying on the counter?” and “I need to start the bread machine!” and “Could someone sort this box of markers? Half of them don’t have their cap! ”Like I said.I need to be more like George......except when it comes … [Read more...]
