"I don’t know if you have a mom, but I know my Aunt Judy belongs to you"

"I know I can do it. I know I can do it. I know I can do it all by my self."

On Being an Auntie…
We are now on day 3 of the great munchkin adventure. Max and Ilona arrived with Grandma on Friday night. Mr. H had been a little trepidatious about spending 5 days with my mom and 2 toddlers, but Ilona took care of that when she quickly made it clear to everyone that Mr. H was her chosen one, her favorite, her ‘Princess Transportation Device,’ and pointedly declared to Mr. H that she needed a hug. He complied. The two are now best friends and Aunt Judy is jealous.
Max is charming and handsome, and at five, quite the little man. He always makes sure to hold the door open for anyone that needs it, even the automatic doors, which he holds open by waving his foot in the air in front of the door. He also misses his Daddy. Every other sentence starts with, “My Dad …”
There’s so much more to tell, but right now we’re off to spend the day with Grandma “Candy”
Whew! Aunt Judy is tired.
Riversong Lodge Cookbook: What comes around goes around
The other day, a friend of mine at work asked me if I had a copy of the The Riversong Lodge Cookbook: World-Class Cooking in The Alaskan Bush
My friend brought in her copy of the book to give me, she was trying to downsize her cookbook collection, but she likes to make sure her things have a good home. I love how things come full circle like this. And this time I got an upgrade. My old copy was paperback. The new one: hard bound and signed by the author.
