Dave

When Dave and I graduated from college we did it together. It was a December twenty-five years ago (yikes!) and by the time the actual graduation ceremony rolled around that spring, we had already moved to Washington, D.C. There was no pomp and circumstance for that graduation of ours (we…

See this guy? It’s his birthday today. And that picture sums up so much of him. He and I just made it through a wing-dinger of a week I tell you. Good things, but a LOT of them. In fact, there might not be a better birthday gift he could…

I have to preface this post with a declaration that Dave is not perfect, because it will seem like he is here. Ha! That guy sometimes makes my blood boil. And sometimes I know I drive him nutty with all my crazy ideas. But oh, I adore him. He is…

Yes, old news but I’m going to give a valiant effort to catch up around here, and get better at writing my thoughts down. Somehow writing down all those thoughts helps me conceptualize them better in my brain and in my heart. But for now, let’s talk about Father’s Day…

I’m going back to pre-corona for a minute here, because gosh, there’s still a whole lot to document from “B.C.” And right up there on that list is pickleball. Ha! But really, Dave is so in love with this game. Such a good outlet for him. Such good friends to…
