dream imagine happen: January 2010

Thursday, January 28, 2010. An Insight Into Local Hunger. Please take a moment to check out Gluten-Free Girl and the Chef's. Delicious, inspiring blog, especially this week's post. That discusses the maximum food assistance for individuals living in King County. For a family like us, or for Shauna, Dan, and their little bean, the maximum allowed is $18/day. That's $540/month. The comments on Shauna's post are equally inspiring and informative. Give them a look, too. You'll be glad you did. It has to be.

Summer, sand and sandwiches. As i sit down to write this post, my mind rushes back to those first, early fall days of school. sitting at my desk, hands folded and donning a new dress (. What a little lady. Expertly chosen by my mother, i’d hang on every word uttered by my adored teachers. then, at their direction and this was my favorite part i’d choose a shiny new, razor-sharp #2 pencil and begin to craft my annual essay about how i spent my summer vacation. An older me, sis at the Cape. In my mind, i s...

Little bird flies home. Witty hip. smart. generous. warm. as glamorous as any movie star of her era. my mom was the mom other kids wanted to have. on school field trips, at Brownie meetings and at birthday parties, my friends flocked around her, jockeying to be in the position of holding her hand. a shy kid, i hung back and observed as she split her attention between her many admirers. Um, i might have been a little jealous. A child with spindly legs and a petite appetite, my grandfather nicknamed her.

When i was in high school, my dad and i acted out the same scene from our family play nearly every Friday night. he’d be sitting at the kitchen table reading the newspaper. i’d walk in and put my hand on his shoulder. Hey, dad. mom’s gonna be home in about an hour. what do you want to do for dinner? Any other day of the week, he’d already have something simmering on the stove. but not on Friday. dad would look up at me over his reading glasses and say, as if it were an epiphany,. How about getting a pizza.

This morning, i grabbed your favorite mug, made a cup of tea and settled in to look through our family photo boxes. two years ago, you would have been sitting here next to me. and i would have been saying something like,. Oh, remember that snow storm? You would have been saying something more like,. Oh, i loved that outfit! Sure, you had impeccable taste. and style (. Like in the above photo. seriously, who looks that put together at the bowling alley? Family and food (.

Yesterday afternoon, i sat down in front of one of those Hallmark channel. Don’t judge me. The plot: expected. but unexpectedly, laugh-out-loud funny. i looked over at your photo, perched in its prominent place on the credenza, and knew how much you would have loved watching it with me. I can’t tell you how i miss those moments. Or not, because i’m a sap. Because you just may have forgotten you’ve come to adore them. Today, like every day, little bird, i remember you. and even though you’re not sitti...

whoopie – Winnie turns 98! |
https://littlebirdbaking.com/2011/09/05/whoopie-winnie-turns-98
Whoopie – Winnie turns 98! Today, Winnie the English bull terrier turns 98. That’s 14 in people years. She’s as spirited and demanding as she was at three months, when she first became a member of our family. yeah, sometimes she forgets things. like why she was walking down the hallway. but who doesn’t? She’d rather snatch a little nap before dinner, instead of gnawing on some rubbery-tasting toy. but who wouldn’t? Many happy returns of the day, pumpkin! Chocolate Whoopie Pie with Mint Buttercream Filling.
