Volunteering in Redlands
I knew I wanted to volunteer when I got to Redlands. I didn’t know I would find such a great program to do it with. Last week, I toured the Redlands Family Service Association and found that the opportunities to serve were just about as limitless as my imagination. Really, they are that chill there. … Continue reading
A Parade of Homes
I have fallen in love with our beautiful neighborhood. Tree-lined streets show off trellised Victorian homes and stunning landscaping. Old, retired couples and kind families have grown up in these neighborhoods and they never leave. We’ve landed in flippin’ Mayberry. I’ve wanted to do a tour of homes for a while, so I walked around the block … Continue reading
That one day a house caught fire
Last week on the way into work, David and I noticed a plume of smoke coming from a couple blocks away. My reporter instincts started to tingle. So after I kicked the huz out of the car and into the hospital, I went over to see what was going on. Neighbors and fire trucks surrounded … Continue reading
Happy Halloween
Inside the walls of Glenn Mannor this Halloween, the spectre of final examinations loomed large as David’s Internal Medicine rotation gasped its final breaths. As the clock strikes one on Friday, he will face a line of scientists in their white coats for his oral exams. Then, after a week of penance in the hospital library, he battles … Continue reading
Lately things have happened. I promise.
The last 12 weeks are going to go down in history as a strange blur in our lives. We are back in the United States, we have a dishwasher, cars and all the $30-per-month utility bills we can ask for. I am also happy to announce that I have started contributing a tins’y bit to our living … Continue reading
Our Grenada Christmas Project
Magical things happen on the island of Grenada. Not the least of which was the Limes After School Program, administered by the Significant Others (SO) Organization. As president of the SO Organization, I got to see and be a part of some amazing acts of service. The Limes Program was one of them. Now, living … Continue reading
Reno and our new addition
I feel so lucky to live so close to my family. There are exactly eight hours between us, and half of that drive is through some of the most stunning country on the West Coast. This last weekend, I was able to visit with my family and friends just because I wanted to. Such a … Continue reading
A little boy and a great war
One of Redland’s most interesting stories lies tucked behind the shrine of Abraham Lincoln. Remember the post about the Lincoln Shrine (the largest tribute to the man west of the Mississippi)? Its existence began as a monument to a parent’s World War I heartbreak. After making a fortune in oil and settling in Redlands, Alma … Continue reading
What the guys think of quilt shops
Over the weekend, David’s mom and I found a cute little Redlands quilt shop where she could get a needed gadget and ohh and ahh over the beautiful fabrics and patterns. It was a very girly experience. On the way out of the store, I snapped this great pic of the guys. They are obviously … Continue reading
The laundry could wait
Friday evening I frantically pulled the laundry from the drier as the in-laws rolled into our little cul-de-sac. With hugs and smiles, the basket was dropped at the edge of our bed, forgotten for a whole two days. We were so happy to have David’s parents in our little humble home and to have them … Continue reading
