Hi, Darling.: August 2011
http://sweetandkindof.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 10, 2011. A Giant In Our Midst. Today on the train was a giant of a man with a bushy, ax-murderer beard. He towered above everyone and looked rather menacing. Menacing, that is, until I noticed his remarkably tiny button-nose and sparkly eyes. In an instant he was transformed into a comically kind fairy tale oaf. Links to this post.

Hi, Darling.: Oh, Dave...
http://sweetandkindof.blogspot.com/2015/05/oh-dave.html
Wednesday, May 20, 2015. Dave is my guy. He embodies one of my favorite personality trait combos: an exterior facade of gruffness with a twinkle in the eye that exposes an inner softie. Crazy smart. A relentless flirt but still a gentleman. Curious. Generous in a quiet way. Oh, yeah, and funny. All of these things observed from a distance, of course, through many years of watching and laughing and sometimes even crying. I've never met him and can't claim to know him, but I'm crazy about him anyway.

Hi, Darling.: April 2013
http://sweetandkindof.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 20, 2013. In the hierarchy of admirable people, art teachers belong in the top tier. I am extremely fortunate to have known many great ones, and to have grown up in a place where the arts are valued. Everyone had some pieces included because, really, everyone is an artist. And she understood that art is as much about heart as it is about technique. In a time when art classes are being cut mercilessly, it strikes me often how lucky we were. My hippo bank. : ).

Hi, Darling.: Memories of Easter
http://sweetandkindof.blogspot.com/2015/04/memories-of-easter.html
Sunday, April 5, 2015. Easter was one of my favorite holidays as a kid, and I still enjoy it. For me it's not a religious day, but one of childhood memories and springtime cheer. It wasn't our tradition to hide the eggs, or even eat them, really. Maybe a few of the less successful examples were consumed (not by me.yuck! Well, it never happened. They sat undisturbed in a Red Owl grocery bag for decades, time capsules wrapped in a fragile shell. Oh, and the Easter baskets! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Hi, Darling.: Dad Thoughts
http://sweetandkindof.blogspot.com/2012/07/dad-thoughts.html
Thursday, July 12, 2012. It's been a few weeks now since our dad passed away, and I've had bits and pieces of stories popping into my head ever since - all these random things I hadn't thought about in ages but suddenly remember like they just happened. So I figured I'd jot a few down before they popped back out again. Robert Ero Kutsi. Dad. I don't know why that one sticks with me, but it still makes me chuckle. This photo was taken in August 2011, the last time I got to see him. xo. My Card Shop on Etsy.

http://sweetandkindof.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 10, 2012. I was thinking this morning - a gray and dreary morning - that it has been quite some time since I've written. Looking through some old notes, I came across this story and noticed that it was written exactly four years ago today. And now the sun is out, so I figured I'd share it again.xo. Today was one of the happiest days I've had in a long time. I love it too. Then my new gardener friend, Penny, made an innocent suggestion that meant more to me than she'll ever know. "Here,...

Hi, Darling.: That Day
http://sweetandkindof.blogspot.com/2011/09/that-day.html
Sunday, September 11, 2011. Strangely enough, my mom in Minnesota knew about the attacks before I did. My job at the time was located on the upper east side, in an isolated residential area. I walked the long crosstown blocks from the 6 train to York Avenue and said good morning to the doorman, William, as I always did. He was on the phone and barely acknowledged me. Sean worked downtown on Franklin Street, far enough away to hopefully be out of danger, but close enough to make me anxious anyway. He ...

Hi, Darling.: Ghost Corner
http://sweetandkindof.blogspot.com/2015/03/all-of-this-is-sad.html
Saturday, March 28, 2015. All of this is horribly sad. A gas explosion and massive fire obliterated part of an east village block earlier this week, leaving dozens homeless or injured, and two missing. I am completely fine, so my feelings of loss are only superficial, not comparable in any way to those who have been displaced or lost businesses or, worse yet, are still awaiting news about missing loved ones. Now that corner of the block is completely gone. Or read more here: http:/ evgrieve.com/.
