There’s quite a big of hand-washing going on at my house. That’s because we’ve had more animal news than usual. It started back at the end of March. Benny won a fish at the JCC’s Purim Carnival. I wouldn’t have let him play the game if I’d have look at the prizes, but he won…
The players are back home, the students are back in class and even the home-made signs are a bit drippy after a few days of rain. Davidson is back to normal, but we’re definitely not the same. How much fun was that? But what a heart breaker at the end. Those guys will replay the…
We’re having an awful lot of fun in Davidson right now. We live in the town best known right now as the home of the Wildcats – the improbable Sweet 16 contenders. Slade’s been following the team for a while, but the rest of us are jumping on the bandwagon. I did pick the team…
Today is my ten-year wedding anniversary. I can hardly believe it. Our wedding was wonderful. An amazing celebration with friends and family – everything was perfect. But it’s the day after that proved to me that I was truly with the right person. That’s because everything was definitely not perfect. We had a huge honeymoon…
We have a joke around here that when we get snow or bad weather in the forecast, everybody starts thinking about French toast. Why else does everyone run to the store for milk, eggs & bread? When I think of French toast, I think of llamas. My sister and I both went to college in…
My kids are going through a funny phase right now. When I do something they like they say, "You’re the best mommy in the world!" Luckily, they haven’t caught on to the flip side of that; I haven’t heard anything about being the worst. I’m sure that’s coming. The DVD player in my van stopped…
How much fun was that? We had a terrific time at the Charlotte Checkers game. Many thanks to the team for a wonderful family experience, a terrific effort for charity and a once-in-a-lifetime chance for me and my daughter – we both rode the Zamboni! I was invited to this game because the Checkers were…
Couple of fun things coming up.. Last year I taped a health video with our local health department. It was available on line for a while and now it’s airing on public television. Saturday morning at 9am is the next airing – you can check WTVI for more listings or watch the podcast on demand. …
We see Benny’s doctor this week for our regular diabetes check up. We go every three months. They check his A1c levels and adjust his insulin doses. Benny’s been running high for the past week. He’s fighting a cold and anytime he gets sick, his blood sugar levels go crazy. Of course, he’s also grown…
One of the high points of my Florida vacation a few weeks ago was playing golf with my mom. We rarely get to play together – maybe once or twice a year – and it’s always a great time. I’m so happy to report that Mom just got a hole in one! It was on…
