While we were staying at the hospital for our 23 hour tour, he was not allowed to eat. Surgery may have been eminent. His IV was hooked up for fluids (spare me the memory of watching him squirm and cry while his vein “blew” three times just trying to place the IV). The next morning, [...]

Black Raspberry Cobbler Cheesecake
So, friend, this is what I ended up making for that dinner party. This cobbler cheesecake was so beautiful when it came out of the oven. However, by the time I had the camera ready, this is all that was left. It was so gorgeous, with the parchment paper all crinkly and brown and [...]
Just Like Curious George
He’s fine. We thought he was having an acute appendicitis… which called for an overnight “Observation.” While there, he miraculously got better. Thank goodness… no cutting involved. The hospital has just undergone a major renovation… the rooms, were beautiful. Sadly beautiful, like a posh hotel. Which, is truly, such a tragedy, that we ever need [...]
Name The Date: We’ll Make it Christmas
I could not fathom how people could celebrate Christmas, full of the same expectation and joy that accompanies Advent, after Christmas. Some families, because relatives live out of state or travel or work constraints, decide to celebrate Christmas post-holidays — and hearing about those gatherings, I expected those celebrations to have a gray cast over [...]
Blurry Kodachrome Memories
“OH Yeah! Well, when you go to bed you wear an Origami KIMONO! And I’m telling everyone at school!!!…..” Blurry Kodachrome memories…. when things just move too fast — and there’s no camera fast enough to catch them. I did my best.

The Great Altoids Tin Challenge #8
So, you’re wondering what I got in my Altoids Tins? This particular one came from the one who loves green — which explains the green highlighter used to write my treasured “Gift Tag.” He even borrowed a little ingenuity from this Origami Master Brother to make an “envelope” that was a shirt — without a tie, because [...]
Over The Moon
It’s his birthday. The one who loves green. And trains… and the entire concept of wearing shorts all winter. That one. He’s ten. I made the greenest cupcakes I have ever seen. I used an entire bottle — the big one, one ounce– of green food coloring. Then, we made this cake balls for his [...]

O Holy Night
Two summers ago, our neighbor carried a very large square “train table” out of their house and to the curb. Then the words “free” appeared on a piece of paper taped to the front. Made by the father, legs painted white, their son, about the same age as my little guys, used it as his [...]
