All told, it took me 27 hours to get home. I left the hotel at 1:30 to catch a flight that was originally supposed to leave at 3:15 but had been pushed back to 4:15 and in the end didn’t leave until 6 or so. By the time it got to Charlotte, my connecting flight… Read More

Hi all! Sorry so remiss about blogging– was trying to catch up on work at Coastal Magic and, well, busy! So, gonna do a mostly picture post… whee!!!

But this year, I almost forgot something real. I’m planning to… Read More

So, three things. One–When Geoffie rolled around in the deer poop we had to throw away her sweater with the hood for green poopie reasons. Two–I spent today in the car with my friend Karen, showing her the wonder that is my hometown. She’s scouted here before so she knows some of it better than… Read More

There will be Hiding the Moon tomorrow, I promise, but in the meantime, I have a brief Geoffie story… So, every night when I sit and watch TV I tuck a pillow up behind my neck for comfort. Tonight, I was at my desk and Mate was still flipping through the channels and suddenly he said,… Read More
