Day Three Hundred Seven, November 25, 2011
Another orbit around the sun is about to be completed yet again and I have the sense it is moving too fast.

Day Two Hundred Thirty Eight, September 17, 2011
After a long hot summer and a lot of traveling, the first sign that we are settled back from the holidays is a home made cake. Lea and I baked a marble cake today and then she and her friend took out all the decorations we have to create their masterpieces. Candles were added and…
