All skill
We were playing Rummikub tonight all together when Peter told me, “Do you know that the first two times I played Dad Rummikub I beat him?” “That was lucky!” I commented. Peter clarified: “No, it was all skill. Pure skill.”

Overwhelmed by whipping cream

Show up at ballet, and the TV cameras are coming
This week I went to ballet class, only to discover that the news cameras were coming at the end of class. My first thought? Thank goodness I didn’t wear my leotard and tights! Yoga pants must have been an inspired fashion choice today! LOL. And…

LOL: Great lemon taste
Cod liver oil has a great lemon taste? As my children would say, “Yeah, NO.” Today I pulled out the cod liver oil to have a teaspoon for myself. Anna looked up worried and asked, even more anxiously, “I haven’t been bad! Why are you…
LOL: Is not! Is, too!
I’m working in the mud room this morning and a song comes into my head: “Is not!” “Is, too!” “Is not! Is not!” “Is, too! Is, too!” “Is not! Is not! Is not! Is not!” “Is, too! Is, too! Is, too! Huh!” And I remember what it’s from: Bill…
