Knowing that my October weekends were pretty tightly jammed, I decided to get the apple-(cider donut)picking out-of-the-way a little early in the season. We have a regular semi-secret spot down in Greene County that we’ve been going to for years, but something told me to call prior to hopping in the car this year. Good … Continue reading It’s like apples and squid?

The present of time
It's been one of those weeks.* I'm sure you've had them yourself - an event Monday night, 3 consecutive Tuesday meetings, a late night at work Wednesday, a soccer game...you've been there. I've been longingly anticipating Sunday, the only day on this week's calendar which is completely open. Of course, when I say "completely open" … Continue reading The present of time

For the third year in a row, I completed the Warrior Dash … Continue reading Moms@Work – August posts
Riding that train
Last week in our (delayed) haste to soak in the last of Summer 2013, two of my boys and I hopped aboard the scenic Saratoga-North Creek Railroad. Despite the late night I had thoroughly enjoyed the previous evening at a concert at SPAC, we left Albany a little after 9:00 a.m. to catch our train, … Continue reading Riding that train
What I missed
After being back and settled in the DelSo for a week, I thought I'd share what I missed this summer while away. Some of the items on the list, I may take for granted when I'm home, while others are always appreciated. The list is not in any order, although alphabetical would naturally be my … Continue reading What I missed
