Perley's theory is that the more chairs we put on our porch, the more visitors we get.

Snowball fight!
Jan. 19th, 2010 12:43 amThe boys and I went out for some snowball fighting and sledding after the winter storm today.
I kept trying to tell them not to throw snowballs at the photographer. This was a hard rule for them to remember.

Thanksgiving (thanksgiving)
Nov. 26th, 2009 11:11 pmThere are three things in particular that I feel especially thankful for this year.
I'm thankful that, after so many years and so much work, we get to spend Thanksgiving at Mosaic Commons. I love spending this day cooking and socializing with friends and family, and I love it even more now that taking a break from dinner prep means going for a stroll and stopping in at friends' houses for a glass of wine and to wish them a happy holiday. It's amazing what a difference it makes.
I'm thankful that at this time, this year,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
keyne and I are in a much better place than we have been in a long time. We are doing much better at working with and communicating with each other about the hard stuff of life, and I'm incredibly grateful for the work that we have done to get here.
And I'm thankful for my friends. I'm always thankful for my friends, but I'm not accustomed to leaning on them. Lately things have been really hard for me, and I've found myself leaning on you a lot, and it's given me a chance to discover just what an amazing, thoughtful, resourceful, brilliant band of brigands you are.
So this is me. Giving you my thanks. And if for any reason you think I'm not talking about you.... you're wrong. I mean you, too.

- Surprise visit and magnificent birthday cake from omegabeth in the morning
- Surprise visit and gifts from chaiya in the morning
- Long lunch and great conversation with ectophylla
- Surprise birthday dinner and magnificent birthday cake from keyne, Mom, Dad and the kids
- Lots of post-dinner visits from the neighbors to help polish off as much of the cake as possible.
The magnificent birthday cake from
omegabeth was a chocolate layer cake with peanut butter frosting.The magnificent birthday cake from
keyne and npierce was.... a chocolate layer cake with peanut butter frosting and chocolate glaze.I think I may be getting predictable.
But enough of that. Here's what matters. All day long, I ran into people at every turn who were conspiring to make sure I had a good day. And wow, apparently I needed that more than anything.
Thanks and love to you all. You are my rockstars.

I learned to drive a backhoe last weekend. How was your Labor Day?
Seriously. Our landscaping team here at Mosaic has been on a tear to spruce up the place and have done some absolutely astounding, fantastic, brilliant work around the grounds. On Sunday morning, Beezy came and knocked on my door and said: We need someone to drive the backhoe. Can you do it?
What was I supposed to say? It's just like driving a truck, right?
Actually it's like the biggest Erector Set you've ever had in your life. I drove that thing back and forth all day and didn't stop grinning. I dug two 10'x20' garden beds in no time flat.
The previous day, Morgan andlilzon and I spent about four hours unloading and spreading a truckload of wood chips in the hot tub enclosure, to keep the weeds at bay.
Does this sound like work? Okay, so it's work. It was hard. I was exhausted and burnt to a crisp by the end. Both days. Big deal. It's hardly work if it's filled with so much joy. Piece by piece, this place is coming together right before our very eyes. Every day tops the previous one.
We held a barbecue to celebrate opening the common house, and it was so very wonderful that you could be there.
