[slight obsessions]: January 2015
http://slightobsessions.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
You and me, killing time in the present tense. In memoriam: Barbara Anne. One year ago today, my sweet grandmother passed away. I'm sad that she didn't get to meet her great-grandson this year (I was only about 12 weeks pregnant with him at her funeral), but I'm also thankful she's at peace after many long years with Alzheimer's. What follows is what I wrote (and read) for her service last January when we laid her to rest:. Her hands running through her hair when she got stressed, especially on that fate...

[slight obsessions]: May 2012
http://slightobsessions.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
You and me, killing time in the present tense. Not such a good thing. I'm overtired and under-prepared to board a plane tomorrow morning (a mere 8 hours from now). Instead of packing, I spent this evening purging my work emails so I'll have a clean slate to return to. Looking forward to digging my toes in the Florida sand, seeing my family for the first time since Christmas. And spending a first vacation with my husband. Parents, and brothers all under one roof. Our adorable [rented] adobe. Alongside the...

Freckled Hen: April 2014
http://freckledhen.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
The common good in the ordinary day. Tuesday, April 29, 2014. Climbing atop a mountain is a breathless struggle. Once you do it and are able to stand straight and look around you can immediately realize it was worth all the effort. Such a metaphor for life. We drove up to Acadia. In Maine. It was so beautiful! 160; My husband used to live on Bartlett’s Island. 160; But now of course I am so happy I went! 160; It was too exciting! 160; Certainly better than any gift shop. It was a good week and now we a...

Freckled Hen: Perched
http://freckledhen.blogspot.com/2015/06/perched.html
The common good in the ordinary day. Monday, June 29, 2015. Usually when we travel with our family I need a vacation from our vacation. No matter if everything goes smoothly just the fact that there are so many people in our family makes it very easy to get worn out. I think this is the first time in years I came home feeling so relaxed. Like cool as a cucumber. I felt like I could conquer the world. Is that normal when you feel relaxed? I dunno but I liked it. Posted by Freckled Hen. Kate so nice to hea...

Saturday, November 27, 2010. Holiday Gift for my Prayer Pal. My secret Prayer Pal at church has a wonderful blog. And it's been good for me to get to know her through her blog. We need to bring a gift to exchange at our Christmas Brunch. I found these pitchers and think one would be perfect for her. Can't decide which one to give her. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Holiday Gift for my Prayer Pal. Simple template. Powered by Blogger.

Freckled Hen: July 2014
http://freckledhen.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
The common good in the ordinary day. Thursday, July 31, 2014. Today I overheard a conversation at the kitchen table as I was crossing through the room. Just one sentence from my boy. He said it quietly as much to himself as anyone around. He wasn’t saying it for show. 160; “Never make fun of anyone, except yourself.”. 160; How do I know? 160; I can do better, I know that! Unknowingly Henry just gave me a big loving boost of courage. . Posted by Freckled Hen. Monday, July 28, 2014. A few months ago my ...

Freckled Hen: March 2015
http://freckledhen.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
The common good in the ordinary day. Tuesday, March 24, 2015. Sunshine on my shoulders. Springtime during my childhood seemed bright and sunny. I’m sure there were gray March days and rain and slushy snow, but who wants to waste memory space remembering that? The longer hours of daylight have been coaxing my indoor plants with such sweet rewards. Lately as I plant seeds or stitch or write lists or make dinner I listen to my little guy and his imagination.

Freckled Hen: hither dither
http://freckledhen.blogspot.com/2014/11/hither-dither.html
The common good in the ordinary day. Monday, November 3, 2014. Yay…Halloween is over. I guess I am turning into one of those people. Maybe it’s from having many children and the annual costume hyper extravaganza has worn itself out? Anyway I know I do like Halloween somewhere in me brain but this year I will say hooray to November. We are deep into Birthday celebrations, too. I like those. No scrooging about those. For Sam’s over the weekend we hired a birthday clown. Posted by Freckled Hen. The Woman ...

Freckled Hen: June 2014
http://freckledhen.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
The common good in the ordinary day. Monday, June 9, 2014. Of planes and plants. When I am outside in the back where the garden quietly grows I occasionally hear a jet overhead flying towards the north. I imagine all the people on board and the hurried process that they went through to get them there. I ponder this with the knees of my garden pants soaking through as I kneel and weed. . We went swimming yesterday in the lake near our house. It was all I hoped! Posted by Freckled Hen. House on hill road.
