The most wonderful thing happened today: Chad called at 10:30 to say he was coming home for the rest of the day because his building in Solon has no power! All of a sudden, "lunch" was took on a new … Continue reading →

I've been pretty quiet this week, trying to recover from a crushing disappointment. As always, I am finding comfort in good friends, good books, my garden, my pets, and too much ice cream. I'm not going to talk about it, … Continue reading →

Yesterday was Kristen's birthday. We had a fun dinner at 5 Guys and Burger, then cake and icecream back at the Clotworthy homestead. Emma flirts with Chad every time she sees him. He actually said to me yesterday, as she … Continue reading →
