Day at the Beach 27, originally uploaded by StephLewis. We finished unpacking last week. Yes. Finished. Even pictures are hung. There is not one box left (except some of Josh’s boxes that are mashed with cords, old software, and Mission Control tapes… but those are his problem and not mine). It feels fantastic to be Read More
Hanging Around the House 39, originally uploaded by StephLewis. Well, we are officially settled in at the Whiting Resort. Okay, it’s not a resort, but it is the house I was raised in and my parents have been kind enough to let us live with them for a bit. It’s been such a blessing to Read More
Our Last Day in California, originally uploaded by StephLewis. My mom and Kristin (my sister-in-law) were so gracious to come to California for our last weekend there to help us get our stuff together. They were awesome help and helped us pack up the last of our things and get the house smokin’ clean! If Read More
Saturday Josh and I went to Hyde today and went through the whole classroom to box up my stuff. I was super thankful that I carefully labeled stuff as either “Hyde” or “Lewis” depending on who paid for it, that made it easy for me to find what was mine and box it up. I Read More

It’s changed by every wave. It’s only during the holidays that I see how much my family has changed, no, morphed over the years. The family I knew as a child has been reduced, expanded, and scandalized. As a kid, my family consisted of my aunts & uncles, cousins, grandparents, and, of course, my parents Read More
Here’s my bit of local news, along with a note of sympathy to my dear, sweet husband. When we moved into our new place, there was a cute pizza parlor across the street called Bruschetta’s. It was a home-town Italian bistro where families and teams would meet after sports games or after long bike rides. Read More
When I first moved to Cali, I ordered a sandwich and the lady asked me if I wanted avacado on it. I was like, “Sure!” Mostly because I had never actually had an avacado. It’s not exactly a Minnesota staple food, and I thought I’d try it. Little did I know that it was a Read More
My mother’s generation burned their bras. I think my generation is burning paper. Seriously, I’m starting to hate the stuff and all the waste. For example, twice a week Josh and I receive this “coupon mailer” and “bargain savings” pile of papers in the mail. We never look at it, it just goes straight into Read More
