  • Looking for work online

    I’m finding this to be a very different process than I remember. I’ve been thinking through my jobs before Mr. Phil & Co., and coming to the conclusion that in a decade, our world has changed. My last job Before Children(BC) was Ames, a department store that no longer even exists, working at the customer…

  • What a wild and wonderful day.

    After the girls left for school, Dad and Johann and I started our odyssey. First we loaded up the Queen size bed and took it into Laconia, to trade for a twin bed. The lady with the twin wasn’t home, so we dropped the bed and went on to Too Good to be Threw –…

  • I have been on Facebook too much

    To keep up here, too, but I wanted to say more today, so I’m back to this. Funny how that works. I have a lot to say, but normally I don;t have the time to sit down and write it out. Heck, even today I don’t really have time, I’m just in a chatty mood.…

  • Not that I’m not here, but…

    I’m more often on Facebook these days, as is Phil. We even set up a fan page for Mr. Phil!!

  • kitchen progress

    Lots of progress and a little setback. We got the drywall up, and it already looks so nice. However, after much muttering and cutting to fit the base over the plumbing, Phil popped out of the office to help with the counter, and asked, isn’t the hole supposed to be over the base? OOPS. So…

  • Kitchen remodel

  • Memorial Day Weekend

    It seems that this weekend has come unmoored from it’s usual date on the calendar, so instead of the last weekend in May we celebrate a week early. The kids are home for a long weekend. Phil is off to Chili Challenge in Waterville Valley to make magic and balloons happen. Dad has gone up…

I gather they won in that the battles were a draw, but their robot didn’t fall over.The lego robots own the gym!Glady has been taking part in an after-school enrichment program for the last few weeks. She and her classmates built lego robots…

  • End of a long week

    The kids found a garter snake under the stoop – I cought it and they each got to hold it before we released it back into the garden. The kids pose with Nana and BoPop’s car as we were taking it to drop off at the bus terminal that afternoon.Papa Pushes Broom. The kids picked…

  • Pippa’s Birthday!

    I can hardly believe our little girl is 7 already. We spent this morning before Phil had to leave for his show getting the food ready for tonight’s party. Unlike Glady, who asked for steak for her tenth birthday dinner, Pippy requested Lunchables! Oy, our little goofball strikes again. And then she wanted pizza, so…
