Then and now

A friend of ours (she actually introduced me to yoga!) is reuniting with a long-lost boyfriend. He's a photographer in Scotland, and she'll be living there for the next six months. Pictures from 1977 and 2006:



I like the idea of them reconnecting with the past, and each other.

yes...but we need more details on this. How did they become parted? How did they reconnect? It could become a 3 part mini-series (or at least a guest-blogger post).

I was wondering that, too. Sounds like an interesting couple. I love photo booth pics. They are always so much fun and so memorable.

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming.

As the teacher put it, "Everyone walks out a knitter." I had my doubts at first, because the Internet instructions weren...

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.
