It’s a long and sorted story.One that required a full downstairs remodel to… [Read More]

The First Day of Autumn

For the past week we’ve had to run the AC at night.Scorcher. Eventhough I have been out of school for many years, butterflies return to my tummy like the swallows return to Mission San Juan Capistrano a few miles south from us. As a mom I transferred all my educational anxieties of… [Read More]
