Dessert for dinner. Yes, this is really what we ate for dinner. Our house air conditioner stopped working sometime yesterday and when we arrived home it was almost 80 degrees in the house. We turned the air down, checked the filters, turned it off and on and nothing. Ugh. So, it was too late to…
On the Road Again, Part VI (The End)
Our last day started out in Corning, New York. We decided to have lunch at the Old World Cafe & Ice Cream and then visit the Corning Museum of Glass before starting the drive home. The cafe was so cute! It definitely had the old-time feel with the items that were for sale and the…
On the Road Again, Part V
We spent four days in Rochester. It was a whirlwind trip. One day we hosted a gathering at Seabreeze, one of our favorite little local amusement parks. It was a hot day so the water rides were great for all the kids. It was great that they all had fun together. By the end of…
On the Road Again, IV
After a wonderful visit in Boston we started the trek home. Along the way we stopped to visit college friends we haven’t seen in a few years. It is always great to reconnect with everyone. These poor people had to listen to all our stories as they were the first people we had really talked…
On the Road Again, Part III
Well, if you have missed parts I and II of our adventures you can catch up here (click for links). We had been in Boston for 4 days and were now visiting family in Rhode Island. It was wonderful catching up with everyone that we haven’t seen since my mother-in-law died two and a half…
On the Road Again, Part II
After settling near Boston for the night we headed to Alewife Station so that we could take the T into Boston. My son loves riding on the T. He really wanted to tour Harvard so that was the first place we went. As we stepped off the T the humidity hit you first followed by…
My Brother
My daughter wrote a blog post for Melissa at Autism Mommy Avenger on what it has been like for her having a younger brother with Autism. It was wonderful for me to hear it in her own words. I have often thought I “knew” what life was like for her but reading her words made…
On the Road Again
Hot enough for you? As we continue to bake in 90 degree plus heat and humidity we are on the road again. We decided to take a road trip. Unlike some people who may take a trip on Route 66 we took our road trip on Interstate 90. Yes, from Indiana to Boston, Massachusetts on…
Just a Taste of Europe
My daughter has just ended her first week in Europe. If her pictures, texts and a phone calls are any indication she will be heading back at her next opportunity. We are encouraging her to try to take advantage of all that she can while she is there from sights to food. Here are a…
Greek Marinated Steak with Tzatziki
Back, what seems eons ago in January, I chose the word JOY as my word of intention through this year. My life got off track a bit and I was starting to get overwhelmed by health stuff and home stuff. I went back and read my resolution to choose JOY in making decisions and living…
Twice Baked Reuben Potatoes
While my daughter is in Europe this week, just cooking for three people rather than four has been different. My daughter has a strong dislike of onions (although she eats them far more than she will ever know), cooked mushrooms and rice. So, I have been making dishes that she may not normally like and…
About Us: My Son’s View of His Autism
This is one of my favorite pictures of my son at Walt Disney World one week after he was diagnosed as Autistic. This was during his Peter Pan phase. Sunday is my day to talk about my family. Who we are, why we do the things we do or anything that is important in our…
