4 Rochester

When I moved over the Word Press (from Blogger) a good long while ago, I decided not to import all of my blog posts. I had a presumably good reason for it at the time. Not sure what it was now. However, now I’d like those posts to be here. And now I can’t re-import them [...]

When my children stop waking me up 4 times in one night, I’ll post more. Really. This morning I feel like I’ve lost a fight, or rowed a marathon. Or something. Happy St. Patty’s Day, by the way. Duncan and I are wearing green. Berry was wearing green, until I insisted that she put on...

You were starting to believe I’d blog every day, weren’t you? Yeah, me too. Then Real Life crept back in. What’s with that? Berry has a cold, Duncan slept in really late this morning so he’s refusing to take a nap, Kevin has been sick all morning. So, even though the sitter has...

Two insightful thoughts came to me yesterday: Insight #1: I spend so much time taking care of everyone else, I should take 15-20 minutes a day to focuse on my own inner spiritual growth and being. Insight #2: I should use my Reverend title more. I worked hard to earn it and it reminds [...]

In my previous post, I said that some photos of Charlie were my favorite photos of the year. Well, I just received one that tops it, and I have to share it. It is a photo of my stepsister's family, who we visited over Thanksgiving. I do not exaggerate when I tell you that the children are two of...

Charlie is exhausted, and so am I. So much to do, so hard to time to find the time to blog. To the rescue: my pal Emiline from Sugar Plum with a quick and easy meme. Here goes... 1. What were you cooking/baking 10 years ago? I have a cookbook called Christmas Memories Cookbook from Mystic Seaport. I've...

               Let me apologize in advance. Many thanks to the Love of Reading Online Book Fair for including me on their guest blogger list.  While my presence tends to pull down the collective reputation of any group, after reading the posts of the other guest bloggers I see there is enough quality...

        Starting at 10:00 this morning, Love of Reading begins its Online Book Fair.  A three day collection of online activities related to books and reading, the book fair is a wonderful attempt to take advantage of Web 2.0 technologies to bring together diverse people with a common interest.  I characterize...

Weren’t you getting tired of that train track image? I was. And that whole dark green background thing (if the other background didn’t load, which it doesn’t on PDAs) wasn’t working for me. Change is good. And I keep wrestling with what to blather about on this blog. Writing about...

Life just keeps going by. I know it’s supposed to do that and it’d be very bad if it didn’t. But I half-compose blog posts in my head - when I’m falling asleep or am in the shower or cuddling a baby. Unfortunately, we don’t yet have computer interfaces in any and all our...
