Halloween at the Care Center

We decided to visit some old friends at the Alzheimer's Care Center by singing, playing some tunes and trying our skills at puppet theater. Samuel wasn't sure what was scarier, his monster puppet, Chomp, or some ornery patient shouting at him to sit down. I looked over at him and gave him the crazy person sign. He smiled, nodded and understood. Just sharing some Halloween love, people! Who knows if they'll remember us tomorrow but we had fun dressing up and sharing nonetheless.

Thanks to the generosity of our sweet neighbors the Hills, Katherine was taught how to make perfectly scrumptious homemade pie. Paul's 110 year old recipe is the best! We all gained a few pounds just smelling it. So good!

Midway to heaven

I highly suggest you take a couple hours out of your day to day, grab a picnic, crank up a tune like this (or whatever tickles your fancy) and head for the hills! You'll be glad you did. Promise.

this little piggy went to the market

How I love Fall with all it's sights, tastes and colors. My handy little phone has doubled as my camera as of late. Life has been crazy, busy, wonderful! With the convenience of Facebook and text messaging I have neglected this sweet little site. But since those things aren't as easy to print, I will have to try and keep this dear blog/book of mine alive with pictures and small tales of life as I see it. Happy Fall!

Nielson girls at their best, kinda

I was uploading footage from my Flip camera on to my computer and found all kinds of little treasures!

The first was taken early this summer at one of Sarah's voice lessons. Oh how I miss those times with her. Listening to her sing and make little break through's was exhilarating.




This next clip is of the multi-talented and athletic Analisa. She makes it look so easy! If only it were so.




This was taken last week at an informal violin recital. The song suited my lovely Kate so perfectly.




The last clip I found on my handy camera was taken on my 40th birthday in NYC. I'll have you know it takes incredible talent to enjoy food the way I do. Don't believe me? Try taking my last bite of something I'm savoring and watch me bite your head off;)
