The movers come tomorrow. Actually, some come today to crate up the televisions and a couple pieces of art (Do we actually have "art" pieces in our house that are worth crating compared to others?). The movers are hired by the company which is mostly nice. The slightly not nice part is that we have…
Kitchens, vanilla and family
I'm a baker. I love to bake. Cookies, cakes, sweets... Dinner is a chore, but whipping up a batch of brownies, that's a gift. A gift to my heart, to family, friends, celebrations, comfort and sometimes condolences. When Neil was 5, one of his friends came through the door, took a huge inhale through his…

Happy Mother’s Day
This year's Mother's Day is bittersweet. Dean is in Panama. Jack is sick. Neil is tired. I'm just cranky... In Panama, Mother's Day is in December. Everyone gets the day off work, and it's a big deal. I'm holding out for December this year. Counting on a Mother's Day do-over!
Catching a movie in Panama
Dean escaped the hotel room to see Guardians of the Galaxy without us! Note the cost of the movie. That's U.S. Dollars. If you want an upgrade, you can pay extra to reserve your seat.
