  • Easy Readers

    Jun 6, 2010

    Sam is just starting to get reading. This morning I made her a couple of quick, homemade easy readers: nothing fancy– just what I could think of off the top of my head–that would fit on 4 pages. Things like: I am Sam. I love cats. Cats love rats. Rats run fast. She loved these. “Now I’m going to make YOU a little book, …

  • 6 June 2010 Reading

    Jun 6, 2010

    We’re very excited here chez nous. On Friday Sam found a crossword puzzle book that her cousins gave her for Christmas. When I told her that she couldn’t do it until she had learned to read and write, she pouted and flounced off. A little while later she came back and said, “Mommy, let’s do a reading class.” We’ve been …

  • 5 June 2010 Rottingdean Bike Ride

    Jun 5, 2010

    An impromptu trip: we cycled along the coast to Rottingdean today, a little village to the east of Brighton. Once we got past the throngs of people shuffling around near the Brighton Pier and Marina, it was a lovely ride, if a bit incongruous: on one side, lovely grassy coastline and cliff views; on the other side, the …

  • 2 June 2010 40

    Jun 2, 2010

    I pass by this door nearly every day. A few days ago Sam was counting the house numbers leading up to this door and when my footsteps passed from 39 to 40, I thought, “Oh, I should come take a picture of this door on my birthday.” So today I did. Right after I snapped the picture, a scruffly-looking fellow carrying a …

  • 31 May 2010 Bedroom View

    May 31, 2010

    The view I had today during the glorious two hours that AC took Sam out to the park and I could lie in bed and be sick. Ok, there was nothing glorious about the sick part or the view, but the quiet was nice.

  • 30 May 2010 Sick Day

    May 30, 2010

    Sam is already much better and so are her bears, thanks to her careful administrations of their asthma medicine. She made me several cups of (pretend) tea but so far I’m still the sickest of the lot.

  • 29 May 2010 Stonehenge

    May 29, 2010

    For my 40th birthday coming up in a few days I decided that I wanted to go see something really old. A 5000 year old prehistoric stone circle seemed like it should do the trick. However, there were some obstacles to today’s jaunt up to Salisbury and then over to Stonehenge. First, our train was canceled. Then it …
