To Di, whom I assume is the only person reading this.
Oh my goodness! Not creeperish at all! In fact, I am so humbly flattered that you've kept the link to this place in your reader after so long. And I do remember you. So. Yeah. I'm like thinking about dipping my toe into the icy, cold pool of the Blog-o-sphere again. Maybe. Thank you so much for your comment! And if I do begin again in earnest, I will send you a personal invitation to the show. ;o) JG, s.g Continue reading

That was so beautiful, Megan.
God used to talk to me in the shower, too.

God help us, we are going to start juicing. Like full-on juice fast detox. As soon as we can afford to buy The Machine.
OPEN to healthy living
Mama, why are you posing like that? AJ asked as she peered over my shoulder while I loaded this picture. Short answer: Because Mama is silly. Long answer: Because while I was taking some Wednesday outfit shots, the camera caught me in a moment that pretty well defines my focus for this month...

The Better Part
Someone grew bolder. Someone swang on The Big Swing. And slid down the fire pole on the playground and got a blister. And went whizzing through camp at night in the trailer behind Daddy's bike in the pitch dark with flashlights. Someone went swimming with the big kids. And ate... Continue reading

Vacation
The last time I rode my bike was probably before Evie was born, so like five years or so ago. I was pondering that fact as I was struggling to pedal uphill on our first ride. My legs were burning. I was wheezing a little, with this wretched cough I've... Continue reading

Vacation
Yesterday, we had lunch at the local pizza joint. The five of us parade in and the owner greets us and asks how we've been and BKG says, "Good! Yeah. In fact, we just got back from vacation." And the pizza guy says, "That's great! Was it relaxing?" And I... Continue reading

Garden progress
A few months ago, on the day Jamo walked, Evie and I planted the flower seeds she got in her Easter basket. I didn't tell her my secret thought, though, that morning we poked holes in the dirt, measuring short distances by the marks on our spade. My secret thought... Continue reading

One way to turn your tongue blue.
I needed to get a document notarized in order to get copies of all the kids birth certificates. We dropped in on a friend of BKG's, a notary, at a title company here in town. "Will they mind if we bring all the kids?" I ask. "Oh, they prefer it."... Continue reading

Early Summer
This was the year of all that rain. Of being astounded by thunderstorms. Listening to the boom of hail canons rather than the hum of the air conditioner. And in betweens storms, gentle days of mild weather. Everyone saying, "If only. If only, it could stay this way all summer."... Continue reading
