Project 52 Week 16 (just four weeks late), Week 18, and Week 19
I guess I got even more busy than usual after week 16 because I didn’t get scrap it that weekend. Then, I went on and did weeks 17 (the Pokemon layout) and 18 (below), but not until today did I get around to doing 16. Here is Week 16, during which we enjoyed one of [...]
Project 365 Day 112
I’ve never given up on my Project 365, but I am renewing my commitment to it tonight. Recently it occurred to me that my true Project 365 is that I think about photography every single day. Unfortunately, I’ve been more critical of my photos in recent months and so I don’t post one every day. [...]
Project 365 Day 20 Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband, who is recovering from jet lag after his long business trip to Hong Kong. I think I’m getting the hang of adjustment layers and layer masks in PSE! Woohoo! I made a hue/saturation adjustment layer, almost completely desaturated the photo, then painted back in the birthday cake. aperture priority [...]
Improved Chicken & Gravy Over Mashed Potatoes
When I was in elementary school, sometimes I bought lunch. I seem to recall it was 45 cents. What a deal! It was a fun treat to me, something different and therefore special. One of my favorite dishes they served is something I think would look gross to me today. It was Turkey and Gravy [...]

gluten-free, dairy-free Peach Pancakes
I used the recipe in The Whole Foods Allergy Cookbook by Cybele Pascal to remind me what goes in pancakes. Here is what I did. 1 cup oat flour, I ground myself from quick cooking oats 1 cup gluten free all purpose baking mix (Arrowhead Mills brand), which includes baking powder so I didn’t add [...]
Friday Fill In
Today was a very full day, beginning with one of my best batches of gluten-free dairy-free pancakes ever (rave reviews from 2 out of 3 kids, and Rhiannon wouldn’t even try them so she doesn’t get to vote), followed by visits to the two museums an hour’s drive away in Richmond, the Science and Children’s [...]
lately
I’ve been working on organizing our home library. The underlying organization is still there. I still have the magazine files sorting our children’s books into numerous subjects including the solar system, deserts, mammals, seasons, and construction vehicles. I’ve had the books organized this way since I began collecting them while teaching over a decade ago. [...]
