Sinful Saturday morning, just John and me, hanging, reading, drinking coffee, listening to tunes, chatting…we even had artichokes, garlic toast, and a bit of sauteed ham for brunch. NICE! Eventually I’ll move on to some form of exercise, a shower, and Nathan’s baseball game… But not quite yet. No swimming today, it’s downright chilly out…

Ooooh, killer breakfast, a slice of sauteed ham sandwiched in a warm biscuit, with a cup of strong (albeit decaf) black coffee. Prrrr… There’s an appeal for me in opening the day with simple, rustic food. Not a bad way to start a day, not bad at all. And not a bad way to end…

It’s officially Thursday, although I should be in BED. Just wrapped up Feminine Hijinx with Suz and Kim – another inadvertent double feature, because…we forgot to turn on the mic! Yes, another Feminine HijUnx. Damn. But, hey, you do what you’ve gotta do – we realized our mistake, nibbled some strawberry shortcake, grabbed another beer,…

Siggy-Roo visited Nathan’s classroom this morning and loved every minute of it. Lots of good smells and friendly hands. He handsomely, graciously walked around the circle of children, pausing at each one, to give kisses and receive pats as Nathan explained that Sigs is a 14-year old Gordon Setter who has outlived the average Gordon…

Oh, summer… Swim, grill, friends, family. That was our day today, and it was pretty fabulous. A relaxing morning eased into a major afternoon of swimming with The Browns – Jon, Amy, Will, Sophie, and Zach, as well as Suz and Sullivan, and then Stace and Coop. The Browns and Shuberts headed home, as Bowen…

Happy 40th Birthday Bowen! What a DAY. First of all, it is gorgeous outside, absolutely perfect. Then…we had a little birthday party here for Bowen – a surprise birthday party, in fact, the biggest surprise of which was Bowen’s sister and brother-in-law, Sara and Romero, here from Vermont. Bowen was absolutely blown away, it was…

Crrrraaazy busy day, I’ve hardly had time to catch my breath, much less expand on my I Nonni experience last night. And I still don’t have time. Yes, sadly (ha), we’re off to 20.21 tonight at the Walker. With Jon and Amy Brown. Woo hoo! I’ll need a second shower before heading out after volunteering…

I babysat Cooper-Doo for awhile this morning, what a BLAST. Here he is in one of Nathan’s outfits! Love that. He did his usual wiggles, coos, grunts, sighs. And then fell asleep on my shoulder…so I sat down on the sofa, propped a pillow under my elbow so he could stay in the same spot…and…

Rishia Zimmern sent me this picture today of Noah, titled, Takes After His Dad. Indeed! I laughed out loud, it’s so damn cute. Andrew doesn’t wear diapers though… Especially while he’s away in Spain and Morocco filming the first segment of his new Travel Channel series, Bizarre Foods. You may have caught the pilot, shot…

Memorial Day. Does one say Happy Memorial Day? It sounds wrong, on a day meant for reflection and honoring those who’ve passed before us. Today I’ll think about my Grandma and Grandpa Meyer (that’s my grandma, holding baby me), who meant the world to me. I miss them very, very much. And Andrew Cohen, John’s…
