Wednesday, May 14, 2008. Rumble rumble rumble - I woke up this morning to the familiar sound of deisel trucks idling in the street downstairs. The good news is that the petrol strike is over. The bad news is that it will take a while for the gas station tanks to fill up, and the profiteering impulse to slow down. Imagine my surprise when eco-friendly Ado and Chris suddenly find that they are just as dependent on petroleum as the rest of the world! No gas, no travel, at least not anywhere outside the city.

Saturday, December 13, 2008. Sometimes I have days where the only word I seem to use is Sorry. Full sentences, even conversations, consisting only of this word. And my daughter's favorite - SAH-REE! Flip your shoulders and squiggle your eyebrows together). This week was a "Sorry" week. You know it'll be a doozy when you start off on Monday morning with a 'sorry I burned your toast' AND a 'sorry there's no clean socks' AND a 'No, sorry, you can't. Had died that morning. Last weekend another friend lost he...

(photo by Lia). 160;the cava again (another photo by Lia). Lia dances with her brother. Outside in the yard (photo by Lia). Sunday, February 3, 2008. A day without wine is like a day without sunshine. You'll just have to come back for another visit! The wine circle - a biodynamic technique to harness energy for the wine.

this & that: OOPS
http://ado-etc.blogspot.com/2008/12/oops.html
Wednesday, December 3, 2008. I love this word. I love the way it can cover just about everything, with a slightly sweet, disarming twist that makes whatever happened seem not quite so - well, so SO. Raised eyebrows, slight upturn of the mouth). Oops, uh, oops? Shrug shoulders and hunch down all at once). Giggle nervously, and hope the others join in). Children are the undisputed masters of oops, but I confess to employing it many times a day. That letter you thought got mailed 3 weeks ago?

Thursday, December 4, 2008. I think we spend a lot of time whining. and complaining. and generally being dissatisfied. I noticed this evening that it's been a really long time since. I was just about to complain! Every year around the holidays, we hear endless stories and testimonials from folks who have decided (instead of falling victim to the great Capitalist Christmas Machine, hereafter known as the CCM) to direct their money, time, and etc. to a Good Cause. I will try to. I will try to. Put your clo...

Monday, January 28, 2008. And more importantly, where can I get my hands on a 4-5 hour supply? Lia had a sleepover at her friends on Friday, and then I took the two of them ice skating - Lia has taken to it like a fish to water, despite the fact that it was more like slush-skating as the weather has been warmer than expected the last few days. No surprise though, as she tends to do great at any sport which requires balance and grace (unlike her mother! She's already looking forward to the next time.

Thursday, July 10, 2008. The Sound of Music. June recap - so here's a brief play-by-play for the first half of June: (Yeah, I know its July and all, but I'm trying! 1 You know about the land (see previous post) - still ours, still the greatest thing since forever. 2 Helen left for Athens - we threw a fab surprise party for her, excellent food, company and weather (massive lightning storm, no less) - limited edition video and recipes still to come. A great time nonetheless, the photos speak for themselves.
