Not afraid to take the path of maximum resistance. Too loud. Habitually overdressed. More responsible than you think.

I'm not ready to go home yet. Can I have a few more days?

A clear blue sky with a couple of fluffy clouds. A lake with calm water. The lake is framed by trees. There is a dock and pontoon boat in the water.

Current POV. Day drunk on a floatie was a medicine I needed.

The AQI isn't nearly as bad here as it is in the Cities. I mean, it's not great, but it's better.

Doing some reading on Lowland and German women's fashion of the 1500s. Love the smocked aprons (so stylish and practical) so I am giving it a go.

Hi Dana,

Thanks for reaching out.

This work is anticipated to be complete by mid- to late August, weather permitting, with the trail reopening following. You can learn more about that MCES project here.

For local context, there is no bikelane on Highland Prkwy. It is a residential street, typically very quiet. It is very narrow because it is split, with a median down the center. The only complaint I have is that drivers can be impatient because there is no room to pass slow vehicles. 1/2

My founding father. Trading kisses for beer.

A black & white photo from 1956. My mom is 2 years old, wearing only a diaper. My uncle (age 4) is standing on the side of the photo wearing shorts and no shirt. My young, handsome grandpa is sitting in a metal lawn chair, wearing a white T-shirt and jeans. He is kissing my mom's cheek in exchange for a sip of his Old Style beer.

Our little buddy did his job! He's beautiful!

One benefit of living a block from your ex is that when you come home to this and they know hair dye is not allowed in my house, they go to his house to rinse it out with his towels.

Spending a sunny Sunday making a 16th century shift. A linen undershirt was THE THING for like 1,000 years. Everyone in Europe had a bunch. Your shift kept you clean & hygienic. Details in alt text.

Cuff. All seams are flat felled for durability and strength - no exposed edges to unravel.

Shifts were cut in all rectangles and squares to conserve fabric so under sleeves were square gussets. This is running stitch on the first seam, then it is felled, and sewn with a backstitch.

Collar. Small running stitches are perfect on this seam that doesn't take much stress.

The milkweed and I are at peace. The neighbor's have mixed emotions.

Three cheers to Bill, my husband and stepdad extraordinaire! He never had kids of his own, but has adored mine from the moment he met them and takes stepdadding very seriously.

Three cheers to my dad who struggled with the concept of parenting children, but is an amazing grandfather & father to adult children. In the '70s he was cooler than any of us will ever be.

Three cheers to my stepdad Craig. He died in 2020 of schizophrenia. I never thought of him as a dad, but he thought of me as his daughter. In the end, I was his reluctant caregiver & advocate which taught me a lot.

Three cheers for Marc, the father of my lovely children. We aren't great at being married, but we are great friends & co-parents. He's been a loving and playful father from the day each was born!

✔️ Unexpectedly nice beaches ✔️ Easy & accessible public transportation 🆗 Bike infrastructure. Not bad. Mix of very good & kinda scary. ❌ Bixi bike share was expensive & confusing with mediocre customer service.

My Review of Montreal 10/10 recommend as a top vacation destination! ✔️ Walkable neighborhoods that have great shops, restaurants, benches, flowers, diversity in people & architecture ✔️ Feels sorta European without the $$$ & distance ✔️ Goes hard for summer with lots of streets closed to cars 🧵
