A Visit to La Tasca
As an extra pre Christmas treat, I took everyone to La Tasca, located in Baltimore’s inner harbor. Around the holidays, my children grew up enjoying tapas, and I wanted to continue the tradition since we were all together. Silas was seated and looked ready for some different things to enjoy....
Christmas Comes Early!
As a Christmas present to my mom, my children, and myself, I flew Enric, Miranda, and Silas in from Wisconsin to visit us! Silas is getting so big! Enric tinkered around the house and car to check things out that aren’t working 100% or at all. 🙂 Miranda and Silas
Terragen and Tim Janis
Some nice lady once told me, as she was looking over my Terragen Art, “You know, your Terragen landscapes compiled with Tim Janis music would be a very pleasing thing.” “Tim who?” I asked. I am so glad I learned about his music. Stirring, soothing, and inspirational all at once....
Hotel Xerraire Booking Up Fast!
Every house where love abides And friendship is a guest, Is surely home, and home, sweet home For there the heart can rest. Henry van Dyke (1852 – 1933) Not all, but most know that this autumn into winter is filling up fast at our home. We are very excited...
Bulbous Bouffant
Early on in Enric’s college studies, I was a little worried he wasn’t going to absorb more than ping-pong and the following. Later I learned, all college students need some silliness between intense studying. Â
Enric and Silas
“Outings are so much more fun when we can savor them through the children’s eyes.”Lawana Blackwell, The Courtship of the Vicar’s Daughter, 1998 Miranda posted this image of Enric and Silas from a recent outing they had. I thought some might like to see how Silas is growing.
Mini Concert
Well into Enric and Miranda’s stay here, we decided on an informal get together with my sister and her husband, as well as Mrs. Moore. With this time together, I thought it would be nice for Enric to play piano, a mini concert of sorts, so Miquel could tape it...
Baby Lopez
Baby Lopez “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. ” Pslam 139:14 It’s getting closer for Enric and Miranda to have the baby. (End of October) I must admit they both look well. And so...
Drinking in the 21st Century
Growing up in my household, I remember alcoholic beverages were strictly forbidden. My mom had come from a background where her dad and older brother were both alcoholics, and she experienced first hand terrible things that drunkenness leads to. As I got older, I lived in Europe for awhile, and...
Past Easters
I’ve been going through old photos and scanning them. I thought I would share some past Easters with you. The first is my mom and I in front of our new house. I guess I was 7 or 8. The second is me in our Baltimore back yard. Next to...
On the Road to Toledo
Saturday, Miquel, Laura and I, took to the road, with the objective to meet Enric and Miranda in Toledo, Ohio. This was going to give Miquel a chance to go back to Wisconsin with them, getting a taste of college life for a month, practicing tennis with a student there,...
The heartbreak of goodbyes
Enric and Miranda left today, ready to start their new lives with Enric returning to school at Northland Baptist Bible college. There is nothing easy with what they will be doing in the next years. Studying full time and working is something only for the most dedicated. Enric and Miranda...
Enric & Miranda visit: Annapolis
My son and his wife have graced us with a sweet visit before they go off back to Northland Baptist Bible College. Yesterday we went to Annapolis to just casually walk around. We looked at the shops, had some smoothies at Ben & Jerry’s, and went to the Harbor to...
Each for the Other
It’s been a year. Happy First Wedding Anniversary. A look back to their wedding.
Old Photos: People
“What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.” Karl Lagerfeld So for better or worse, here are some random photos of people doing life. Some candid, a few posed, but all a moment in life.
Sim City 4 Deluxe
Sim City 4 Deluxe It was my son Enric who got me started with Sim City. Our first experience with it was with an edition of Sim CIty that came pre-installed on our computer. (That was like 4 or 5 computers ago). We were going through the games one day...
Special Man
I have a special man in my life… He was born 23 years ago today. Happy birthday, my son. Your mama is so very proud of everything you are. Enric with Ernie at Sesame Place Enric at Baltimore Harbor on the tall ship Juan Sebastian De Elcano Enric and his...
Lego Church
I’ve spent hours with my son Enric playing and building things with his legos. So it was so wonderful when I received a certain email from my cousin Tanya with pics of this Lego contruction of a church…
First Kiss (On Your Wedding Day?)
Do you remember your first kiss? Do you remember with who? After more than a few people expressed surprise, shock, some even horror when I mentioned that at Enric and Miranda’s wedding ceremony, that was indeed their first kiss. I can’t say I am any better than anyone else, even...
Get me to the Church on Time (part 3)
The next day was another struggle to get the the church on time for the actual wedding. We were blessed with SLEEP and a nice hotel room and soon it was off to Enric and Miranda’s wedding. I have to tell you, it was the sweetest wedding I have ever...
Get Me to the Church on Time (part 2)
Barely on time for the rehearsal dinner, we were whisked to Waukesha as the water tower so boldly let us know to the Griffiths house for a quick meeting of the family and friends and a chance to change for the rehearsal dinner and for the church afterwards. At the...
Get Me to the Church on Time (part 1)
This date loomed before us with happiness and part dread. We had to be 800 plus miles to Wisconsin from Maryland overnight and back the next day to get the children back to Maryland, 800 plus miles more, in time for the vans leaving for camp. When it was planned...
You left your soap dish!
With the rain pouring, the winds howling, forcing small limbs to fall to the ground and all around, my son packed all his worldly goods in a what seemed like just a few boxes and left home this morning to start his new life near a thousand miles away. While...
Here, Kitty
Miquel and Laura selected a kitty each. Miquel named his Dante, and Laura named hers Yuna. Now Dante is sweet, timid, and cuddly. Yuna on the other hand, is crazy like a bullet. She is all over the place, attacking our feet, chasing everything, generally wreaking havoc with the household....
