One of the reasons my blog has seen less activity in August than is normal was a family reunion. My mother generally flies east for a high school graduation. Since the May that she came and had to wear someone’s winter jacket to a Little League game, she never comes before the end of June [...]

A Summer Evening Walk
Posted in Art, Family, Fitness, Just my Thoughts, tagged Family, summer, walk, fun, cross training, neighborhood on 29 July 2010 | 14 Comments »
Mondays are generally the day of my training schedule for cross training. Last week was week one of marathon training for me but in reality, it was week six. Yes, I started at week six. So last week, I did a DVD that included some cardio and some weight training. It was a good 30 [...]

Sunday, I spent a good portion of the day at Rec Park in Binghamton. There was a live music fest that ran from 1 pm to almost 9 pm. Eight bands played a 40 minute set. The music ran the gamut from jazz to Dixieland to Zydeco to rock. It was a wonderful day and [...]
Friday Fun – Retake!
Posted in Family, Food and Recipes, Just my Thoughts, tagged happy hour, Viva, Friday on 9 July 2010 | 10 Comments »
So I posted some photos from a Happy Hour at Chapter House in Ithaca a couple weeks ago. Now summer has hit in earnest here in the Northeast, I wanted sunshine and outside for happy hour. Did I find it? You bet! Didn’t even really have to go looking as I knew where I was [...]
Long Run

I am running in a 15K on Sunday. It is not just any 15K. This race is the Boilermaker. This will be the 32nd running of the race. So, in planning out my week, I knew I wanted to get one more long run in before the race so it would have to be two [...]
The Last Time
Posted in Family, Food and Recipes, Just my Thoughts, tagged baby, breast milk, breast pump, breastfeeding, nourishment, twins on 27 June 2010 | 12 Comments »
A friend told several of us that she was nursing her child for the last time and it was a bittersweet feeling. Strangely, I remember the feeling and my “baby” is 15 years old. My thoughts did not necessarily turn to the last time I nursed that baby but more to the twins. With the [...]
Do Our Children Really Learn from Us?
Posted in Family, Just my Thoughts, tagged Family, learning, lessons on 27 May 2010 | 3 Comments »
I remember well those days when my children were little, younger than they are now. Currently, my six children are mostly all grown. Four of them are over 21 and the other two are 19 and 15. The challenges now facing me as a parent are very different than they were 20 years ago. I [...]
Faith and Religion
Posted in Family, Just my Thoughts, Religion, tagged faith, higher being, Religion on 30 April 2010 | 23 Comments »
People tend to use these two words – faith and religion – interchangeably. Not me! I have a great faith. It is strong and has helped me make it through many trials in my life. It is a faith in a higher being but it is also a faith in my fellow men and women. [...]
Spartan Theatre Company Presents …
Posted in Art, Family, Just my Thoughts on 28 April 2010 | 9 Comments »
… or actually presented Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town.” My son has gone from loving being on the stage crew to loving being in the spotlight. This is a good thing for the Spartan Theatre Company as there is a true shortage of male actors, just as there are shortages of male voices in choruses. The [...]
Can Anyone Say Chauffeur?
Posted in Family, Just my Thoughts, tagged chauffeur, church, driving, party on 3 April 2010 | 19 Comments »
I have always felt like I needed a commercial driver’s license. It has been better lately as I have other licensed drivers at my home so I have not been doing the majority of “carting #6 around.” He doesn’t mind if his older sister or one of his older brothers picks him up as long [...]
