Mother's Moments

Mother's Moments
We are at the starting line of our wedding week. A family brunch reservation was made for Mother’s Day.  I knew it would be my last sane hour, and I was elated. We had to pick Matt up because his battery was dead- and when we went into his home-all the Dahls were there.  Perfection... Read more »

The Marry Month of May

The Marry Month of May
My ADD will be even worse than ever, because it is the month that my baby boy, Matt, is getting married on the 19th. His bride to be, Justine, is an oncology nurse at Northwestern, and she will have a beautiful day.  I am working to make the stars align. Uh-oh. As Mother of the... Read more »

Easter

Easter
My roots are Catholic. Easter vacation meant freedom from school for a glorious week.  Before obtaining liberty, there were stations of the cross, Holy Thursday services, and Good Friday rituals.  There was quiet time on Friday if we did not attend services.  For a few years, Mom tried to get us to kneel for three...

Sleepless in Sunshine

First- I apologize for the austerity of my blogging. My I pad will not load images, and so I will show you my world on another day. Today I will take you to Janet’s Planet with mere words. I have not slept well in Florida. Can it be that I require the snuffling and wheezing... Read more »

Ugly in Pink

Ugly in Pink
The Susan G Komen Foundation debacle has been documented.   I was prepared to scribble a rant, then noted better prose than I could conjure. Still.. I have a few afterthoughts. The new position taken by the Susan G.  Komen foundation is a wise one.   It will not undo the harm.  There’s the pity... Read more »

My Superbowl Gift to all Hosts

My Superbowl Gift to all Hosts
The big game is coming up, and the Dahl home will not host any festivities.  I can live with this, no problem.  Matt is moving into a new home this weekend, and I expect he will be busy, and Pat and Rachel will be with Steve in Florida.  So I will not be heating up... Read more »

Smaller dreams, easier goals

This year, I am aiming lower in my “Steveaway” goals. The warm week we just enjoyed encouraged me to do a thorough cleaning of the dog run, a priority which became more essential when the dogs’ messes melted with the snow.  I want them to use this 10 x 10 area which I have established...

Rear View: last year's ambitious project

image.attributes.post_excerpt
I wrote a post last week about my ADD home remodeling, and here are the before and after shots.  I end up spending more than I need to because I re-use stuff, but I cannot pitch out good cabinetry.  This stuff was Wood Mode, and it was in great shape.  The result is that the... Read more »

Creature of Habit

Creature of Habit
In order to postpone my big project of organizing 33 years of Dahl photographic history, or of sharing the pictures I promised of last year’s project (a reveal in HGTV parlance) I am offering a detour.  I am as famous for my zigs, zags, and detours as Steve is for his straight lines. Mabel is... Read more »

Projects and Solitude-part 1.

Projects and Solitude-part 1.
Last year Steve went South to Florida after a stint at White Sox Fantasy Camp.  This year, his fantasy was to get into the sun without having to chase fly balls.  He has been in Florida for a week.  I am not sure if this makes me the best wife or the dumbest.  We are... Read more »
