We Took A Trip to the City, Four Years Later


We visited the Native American Museum in Washington DC where we have been several times before, although with a much smaller kid. Always fun to recreate past moments when you can, and I love that she can be counted on for a cheerful outfit. This time, we took a new family member who is really short, but totally ready to embrace the world around him. It was a very good day! There was a carousel ride, a brownie cupcake, a parade with big drums, and remarkably few tears. It was good to get out. As always, the nimble-fairy was her usual lovely self. 


Apparently little gal is very fascinated by large bodies of water. It was a perfect day.

Sunday Sauna, A Bit Late

Two saunas ago I heard this gem:

"One time I portaged a canoe about a mile and half during the Fourth of July parade. The only bad part was that they were only going about four miles an hour and kept stopping and starting. It wasn't that bad." 

-Mike

I'm not kidding, you really can't make this stuff up.

Some Kind of Winter


This has been a heckuva winter. The extremely cold temps for this area have made me stop complaining about the regular coldness of winter, the kind that makes 43 degrees seem like not-so-bad. Even if it's freezing out, winter is still pretty. And, yesterday I heard birds singing in the morning and then I saw a robin...and we know what that means, right?

Sunday Sauna - A Paraphrase

"As dawn would break the gray squirrels would climb into our walnut tree and start carrying away the walnuts. They never looked up into the tree as they were going up, so I used to take my 22 loaded with ratshot and climb into the tree...And then I dusted them." (said in dramatic gravelly Batman voice)

Sunday Sauna

Oh man this is priceless...

"I had a memorable quote to bring to the sauna but I can't remember it."
