I wish we all lived in a village where we gathered, evening, fireside to relate the tales of the day, prepare and share our food and wine as we think of questions and answers and the little ones scampered about tugging on us or each other. We’d gently offer advice, a listening ear, warm food, [...]
Are you doing what you want to do? And if not, or even if you are, what else would you want to be if you could just go do it?
Rome was wished a wonderful, amazing happy birthday by all his friends and family that were present in the valley on Sunday. Nona and Umpa went all out hosting a party for the relatives and a few of our friends. They re-did the back porch, hand-sewed coverings to stretch above the picnic tables to block [...]
I was met with a lot of skepticism when I informed my friends and family of my old school desire to try cloth diapers with my first baby last year. (Thank God I was telling them about this and not my unassisted birth at least – their skepticism was strong but bearable). I always said, [...]
And all I can think is… How’s he supposed to get all his birthday loving if he doesn’t have facebook, twitter or even a cellphone? What? No direct birthday loving? It all has to be told to me in that adult gibberish through my mom and dad? Oh no! Oh well. I think we’ll find [...]

Well it’s late and I might have to get serious about this “Nighttime Timber” blog because night is the only chance I’m getting to write these days. At one year minus one week, Mijo is a bundle of surprises and activity. He’s started shaking his head no, he blew his grandmas a kiss goodbye, he [...]
Couldn’t sleep last night. Was up thinking and would have had the chance to get up and type about it even (everyone was asleep, i.e. peaceful and not needing me, which does not happen in the morning when my coffee is hot and I really want to write here). I had a new blog name [...]
Been having lots of guests around here lately so I’ve been doing as I do at parties I host: focus on making sure my guests have their drinks full and don’t need anything else. It’s hard for me to let my hair down in front of mass company (but if its just one or two [...]
