Friday, February 27, 2009. SHAKE DOWN ON THE DINGY DOCK. Paco and I just returned from our annual sailing trip with our dear friends the Queens, visiting various exotic locales in search of the perfect wind, the perfect Pain Killer and the perfect holiday. We found something close to all three but hopefully perfection will continue to allude us, making it imperative that we continue to return year after year to resume our odyssey. Officer P: “See, I told you your boat would be safe here.”. Paco: “W...

Friday, March 27, 2009. This was recently sent to me by Sister K and is reprinted here with her permission.). Last night as I was getting ready for bed, I placed my cell phone on top of the glass of water that I always have on my bedside table. The reason that I did such a foolish thing was that my cat always drinks the water out of my glass, and I thought it would be a good way to prevent this from happening. You guessed it.the phone fell into the glass of water. Thursday, March 19, 2009. There's nothin...

wait wait there's more: TIGER, PHIL AND A CAST OF THOUSANDS
http://waitwaittheresmore.blogspot.com/2009/04/tiger-phil-and-cast-of-thousands.html
Wednesday, April 15, 2009. TIGER, PHIL AND A CAST OF THOUSANDS. I saw Tiger Woods today at The Masters! Or rather, I saw his golf cap, his shoulders and his profile, sort of. There were approx. 500 spectators who separated me from His Majesty and I don't think even yelling "Fire" or "I just saw President Obama at the concession stand" would have made any difference. But I was closer to greatness than I have ever been, unless you count the time I met Neil Diamond.". April 15, 2009 at 3:39 PM.

Monday, January 11, 2010. WHERE HAVE ALL THE BLOGGERS GONE? Thystle awakened me recently from my winter hibernation to ask where the heck I've been. An entirely reasonable question given that there have been times when I was posting 2-3 times a week. While I'm not saying I am entitled to Writer's Block because I don't think I qualify, I did hit a wall and have needed to take a break from posting. I am going to Thailand at the end of February. I see that I have lost one of my 17 Kool-Aid drinkers and fear...

Thursday, July 30, 2009. TEN CLOWNS DON'T MAKE A CIRCUS. The saga of Paco’s house continues. This time, however, the story isn’t about destructive, irresponsible tenants, mysterious, unreachable leaks under the foundation or tornadoes rampaging through the neighborhood (yes, that happened, too.) This time, the culprit is our soon-to-be ex-Realtor. This past Monday Paco received the following mass email from Ben:. Sent: Friday, July 24, 2009 9:00 PM. Subject: Out of the office. Hello My Friends,. It’...

Friday, October 31, 2008. From Sister K this morning). As we were standing there looking at the tv turned sideways on the wall, we were scratching our heads and wondering how this could have happened. Big B had used industrial-strength bolts engineered to the exact specifications for supporting the tv until the pyramids crumble. He turned to me and said, "What could have caused this?

hester's garden: May 2011
http://hestersgarden.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 29, 2011. I've been very slack on the blogging front lately. Sometimes life takes so much effort, there's no energy left over for blogging about it. Life has been extra busy with jazz ballet, giving history talks here and there, school working bees, friends coming to play. All good stuff. Time to queue for seconds. Our girls had watched "The Sound of Music" for the first time the night before so my big girl fetched her pop-up "Sound of Music" book to show her friends. Moving on to other games.

Friday, July 22, 2011. Three days after our girl came home from hospital, she turned 5! We were so grateful to be home and be able to celebrate together. As with all good birthdays, the celebrations spread out over a week or so. (The photos are out of order sorry as I was a bit disorganised uploading them). Some special friends organised a little private birthday party with some sand art. We all did some and I have to say, it was great therapy for Mum and Dad! And iced by the girls). Seeing how my garden...

Thursday, November 8, 2012. A little Halloween witch ready for "trickle treating". A beautiful rag doll (who raided my wardrobe). A girl, a cavalier (not ours) and a flock of seagulls. Life is crazy busy. Happy busy but photos and quick captions are all I can manage. Keep smiling, bloggy friends. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Scenes from family life. A blue-eyed girl who loves my family, the crescent moon, the English countryside (don't get there much these days! View my complete profile. Wife in the north.
