A Butter World: December 2007
http://a-butter-world.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Bedlam and chaos in the Butterfield house, which has been certified as experiment in rapid entropy. Saturday, December 15, 2007. I find myself in this position every year, it seems. December comes, bringing with it in a hurry Sinterklaas, my mom's birthday, Reed's birthday, and Will and Satchel's birthdays. After a feverish week of celebration, baking, shopping, organizing, cleaning, and planning, all the birthdays are successfully navigated and. WHEW! We're already contacting publishers. Will is more in...

Bedlam and chaos in the Butterfield house, which has been certified as experiment in rapid entropy. Wednesday, May 28, 2008. Two photos here that should speak for themselves. Posted by Maya at 9:22 AM. Wednesday, May 14, 2008. We started out, when we arrived, at a pasta dinner that Melissa. And Ron had thrown together - very graciously - on very short notice. (I had only emailed them to reconnect a few weeks ago. As Melissa put it, "One week, it's 'Maya Exists! And then the next week, it's 'Maya's Here!

It seems so long ago already, but a couple of weeks ago my mom asked me, "Would you like to take the kids to see the Indian Warriors on the beach? Being, as usual, highly attuned to the cultural landscape and happenings in the Bay Area, I answered, "WHAT? Here's more about the art: thomrossart.com/thomrossart/buffalo bill.html.

A Butter World: June 2008
http://a-butter-world.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Bedlam and chaos in the Butterfield house, which has been certified as experiment in rapid entropy. Saturday, June 21, 2008. Cherries, Heat, and Missing Bits. Yesterday was another annual ritual - picking cherries from Bev's remarkably prolific little tree. It was a scorching hot day, but nice in the shade of her yard. We picked cherries, ate, cooled our feet (and the dog) in her metal tub (a repurposed cattle trough that she keeps cool water in for humans - not to drink! Read it and be jealous! Another ...

Well, okay, the title of today's blog is slightly. Lo and behold, we went online to the border collie rescue site, and they had exactly that - a young dog (1 1/2), "friendly like a lab, smart like a border collie". Wow! We can go to Chico on our way to go skiing, after we hunt Easter Eggs! It's only three more hours." And so we did. We got to Chi...

We said goodbye to Cinder today - after 12 1/2 years with us. It's going to be very strange without her around. For those who wonder, she was 13, and had gotten Lymedisease. By the time we noticed, it was impacting her kidneys, and was no longer curable. She did her best to hang on, but her time was up. She won the "fastest dog" medal at the local dog olympic...

A favorite place, some favorite people, no phones or computers - how could we go wrong? It was a little more adventurous than usual this year, as the seasonal bridge wasn't up yet on the trail to the swimming hole - so we had to ford the river with all the gear and kids. But that just added to the fun (or so we told ourselves)! On Wed. we went up t...

On Saturday I got up early and headed down to Monterey, to meet up with Satchel (and Conner, Dan, Hannah, Ari and Matthieu) at the Sea Otter Classic. One of the largest bike racing events in the world. It was nice weather in Fairfax, so even though I knew better. Icy wind, overcast skies. brrr! This is really scary stuff!

A Butter World: August 2008
http://a-butter-world.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Bedlam and chaos in the Butterfield house, which has been certified as experiment in rapid entropy. Saturday, August 16, 2008. Two camping posts in a row - it doesn't get better than that, in my book! But our first stop was Fort Ross. Where the kids explored the restored Russian fort from the 1800's - in the sunshine. I forgot my camera in the car, so you'll just have to imagine them grooving on the cannons and exploring the fort. Then we drove up to Salt Point. State park, near Mendocino. On that dr...
