My chef instructor took the bicycle belonging to one of my classmates for a spin around the parking lot.

It was 80 degrees F here today. I tagged along to the weekly neighborhood playgroup, sat outside and did homework while chatting with the other parents.

This is a photograph of my great-grandmother (the woman) with her daughters, Melba (standing) and Dorothy Gay (the baby in the wagon) Dorothy Gay was my mom’s mom. My great-grandma B (Ima Billingsley) is all of 17 years old in this photo. This was taken in east Texas before she and her husband took their children to California during the Depression. My mom got a bunch of photos via email from one of her cousins. She’s now swapping stories back and forth with other family members and piecing together as much information about Grandma B’s family as we can. It was rural, east Texas in the early 20th century. Her father was mean by nature and drinking didn’t make it any better. There were uncles who died in bar fights. Teenage pregnancy and running bootleg moonshine are among the happenings in those years. No wonder my grandma got the hell out of Texas.

Themed Thursday: passion.
I have a passion for hiking. My parents instilled it within me at an early age. Getting out into the woods, seeing sights such as this seemingly infinite stream bed of moss-covered rocks, hearing the water trickling — it helps keep me sane. I can’t imagine my life without regular hiking.

Napoleon, test-driving his cool new play structure that Steph built for him. He’s such a good kitty.

All the kids and I made homemade pizzas for dinner. Meet Gabe, the boy who claims to hate cheese, and Kyle, the boy who could eat a horse.

This is me and my kitchen reflected in the mid-brewing third pot of coffee of the day. I actually relaxed most of the day, read a magazine or two, and it was glorious.

We went bowling today, the whole gang, with a bunch of our biker friends. It was fun, and neat to see everybody’s families, since a lot of times it’s just the adults.
He deemed himself The Bowlenator. And I think maybe he broke 100 the first game. ;-)
