Back to “School” 2021~~~This year’s “school” year commences with lots of transitions leading up to today. Flo (and her roomie, Matt) moved back to College Park a few weeks ago, to start her senior year at UMD (though they came back yesterday for a laundry visit). 🙂 We got Joe settled in down in Virginia for a season of junior… Read more »
Darren and I met in French class, in 1988 at Kennebecasis Valley High School, in New Brunswick, Canada. I had just moved there with my parents when my Dad's job transferred him there. We dated from 1988 to 1993, when I left college in my second year, and had to return to the United States, since I could not work in… Read more »

The Summer is winding down, and we're already starting to schedule activities for the upcoming year and organizing ourselves for another adventurous year of homeschooling! We finished off the Spring season, celebrating our 18th anniversary at the end of… Read more »

Flo and I were walking around the neighborhood the other evening, and she asked me why everyone isn't vegetarian. The question kind of took me off guard, as I was walking at a good pace, pondering the housework I needed to get done when we got back. So, I explained to her, as I have before, that not everyone makes… Read more »
Yesterday, we decided to go into DC today, to take the kids to the Smithsonian, walk around, and try out a vegetarian deli Darren’s been raving about near his work. Well, on the way in, we went the wrong way, never found the metro station we were looking for (a different one than usual), and ended up driving all the… Read more »
Flo turned six today. Wow. Where did that time go? She's quite the little person now. Darren took the day off for her birthday, and we took her up to the Boyds Bear Store in Gettysburg, PA. We met my mom and my two aunts, Barb & Mary, who were down visiting from Massachusetts and New York, respectively. Flo had… Read more »
