Happy Halloween!

Being that we’re parents of little ones right now, Halloween is all about the kids. This year we had a fairy princess, a ghost (very specifically a naughty ghost and not a nice one, he said!), and Bob the Builder.
Someday, though, I’m hoping we’ll re-enter the land of adulthood and get invited […]

A Red Red Rose

O my Luve’s like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June;
O my Luve’s like the melodie
That’s sweetly played in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry:
Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ […]

Why Did I Get Married?

Hsien sent me this link about the new Tyler Perry movie, Why Did I Get Married? Not sure what rock I’m living under, but I hadn’t even heard about it. Now, though, I can’t wait to see this film! Tyler Perry absolutely cracks me up as Madea, though he’s not in drag […]

Combining Traditions

Bald Man talked a few months back about Holiday Negotiations. I wanted to go into that a bit more and ask how well your traditions and celebrations meshed when you married?
I was thinking about this because our oldest son turned 4 today, and we’ve had many discussions over the years about how […]

Time and Again

Time and again, however well we know the landscape of love,
and the little church-yard with lamenting names,
and the frightfully silent ravine wherein all the others
end: time and again we go out two together,
under the old trees, lie down again and again
between the flowers, face to face with the sky.
~Rainer Maria Rilke
