The House That Hope Built
We are in the middle of one of the greatest strains a marriage can undergo. Oh yeah, it’s bad. We made it through my stroke…we survived Peyton’s cancer with our love intact. We are househunting…there’s a good chance one of us won’t come out alive. I’m better armed but he’s sneakier. No, I suppose I…
Try This Tuesday #25: Changes
As I mentioned in my post last Friday, I am extremely grateful for everyone who participated in Try This Tuesday during 2008. Thank you for all of your insights and experiences which have helped all of us, including and especially me, become better at what we do. One idea I had for the coming year…
Tembleque (Puerto-Rican Style Coconut Custard)

New Years Day
Only three more days before the next infusion. The first for the year. She is really ready for this one. December has been a tough month for Ivy and her ability to fight off infection, not so great. She has so much more going on but I have been to… scared to talk about it much….
Project Puzzles
When relatives started calling to ask me what Zoe and Ayden wanted for Christmas, the first words out of my mouth were “something challenging for them to do with their hands.” Specifically, I was hoping for some type of construction set (like Lego’s) or some puzzles. Once the dust settled on Christmas Day, I looked…
