Princess Sophia at her surprise fifth birthday barbecue last Saturday, July 6th. Good Saturday to you! Last Saturday, we celebrated my neiece Sophia’s birthday. She was surprised and very happy.

Some Saturday Stuff- July 6th
Cousin hugs! Good Saturday morning! I hope you’re enjoying this long holiday weekend. Despite my mother’s illness, I have. Yesterday, Zoe and I had lunch with my stepmom, Kathy, and my neice, Sophia, Joscelyne’s little girl. After munching on crab cakes and mac and cheese at The Tropicana Diner, we went to the…

On Father’s Day.
Me and my Daddy in 2010 Yesterday was Father’s Day, and from a casual perusal of the interwebs, a lot of people have some pretty jacked up relationships with their dads.

Randy, my friend of fifteen years, came over yesterday morning. I made coffee on my Kuerig. He brought danish. His paternal grandmother passed of cancer and the memorial was Saturday. Dutiful grandson, he delivered the eulogy. He had emailed it to me last week to proofread. Carol Frantz was born on…

She’s got a bouquet.
Since I got inked in memory of Joscelyne, our cousin Shay and her best friend Jen did, too. All lilies. I know the Diva would be quite pleased, having us walk around with visible reminders of her. It’s those invisible ones that so many of us carry in our hearts that…

Zoe plays Vanna White by displaying my two new book purchases. After gettiing some positive feedback from last week’s Saturday stuff post, I figured I’d do it again today. Funny how totally different my mood is this Saturday, though. While last week I woke up in a mood to do yoga, I’m…
