Blogging might be light in the next week. Why? Because it’s CAMP RUNAMUKAH time! We have been looking forward to this for months and now it’s finally here! The fun. The tears. The laughter. The little cousin who won’t stop touching the toys you don’t want them to touch. The copious amounts of wine. The [...]

PLAY BALL!

Sunday morning my parents, Ben and I headed down to Milwaukee to see the Brewers DESTROY the Braves.  This was a particularly fun excursion because it was my mom’s very first Major League Baseball game.  She wanted to experience it all, including the tailgating.  Because we are who we are, our wild and crazy tailgate [...]

“Party of one? Your table is now available…”

becky | July 12, 2009

It had the makings of a perfect first date.  The texts between boy and girl were flying until just minutes before they met, filled with such giddiness it was palpable.  The mid-summer weather was perfect.  White puffy clouds with robin egg blue sky behind.  And not a hint of humidity; which greatly pleased the girl [...]

Three weeks ago, my parents went out of town for a week. After we dropped them off at the airport, Ben began to cry softly.  If you have read more than three posts on this blog, you know that Ben and I are sorta close to my parents. “Sorta” being a gross understatement. Therefore, going a whole [...]
