Then Greg wrote, "GERG + REBERCKA," and a new nickname was born: Berky.
We both are obsessed with Scrabble on our new phones, and the other day he looked up "birkie."
"Birrrrrrkie." (Scottish accent)

A lively smart assertive person
Once I was on the beach with Greg, and I wrote in big letters in the sand, "I LOVE GERG." Because that's my idea of a good joke.

I just find it sooooooooo cute that that is my nickname!!!!!!

Found on a trash can Friday night!
From 1963.
All the original cards, playing pieces, and dice!
The board is in pristine condition (never played?)--and the design is so great:
(I wonder who decided the whale should be wearing a cap??)
Dear Time magazine
Haven't you ever heard of an en-dash??
I was shocked—SHOCKED—to see this hyphen on the cover.
Which goes to show how low my shock threshold is and the types of things I spend my days fretting over.

CHECK OUT MY PLANTS
They got it going on!
My geranium has been blooming and blooming nonstop for months, and now the christmas cactus has caught on!
This is its first bloom ever—and it just sort of did it on its own.
Who knew it was white?

Lentil-walnut burgers
Yeah, Mollie Katzen!
I learned to cook with the Moosewood Cookbook when I was a teenager, so this was quite the trip down memory lane.

Found in a trash can
Katy and the Big Snow! First published in 1943.
Katy is a "beautiful red crawler tractor" with a snow plow.
I love the margin illustrations.
Katy saves the day!
Also by Virginia Lee Burton:
Remember when Ramona Quimby asked how Mike Mulligan went to the bathroom?

Friday night
It was SO cold!!
I had to stay home and make minipies. (A bottle of wine and Battlestar Galactica were also involved.)

YES PLEASE!
My friend Mohanad bought forty acres of "raw" land in British Columbia.
It has two streams that run year round and an ELK TRAIL running through it! His plan is—log the Douglas fir to buy out the mortgage then build a cabin.
He has offered us 3.5 acres!!

Hat skills
This guy's got em.
It was perched on the extreme rear of his cranium, but IT DIDN'T FALL OFF.
I was in literal awe.

Hmm
Soup tureen.
Or chamber pot?
I saw this on my way to work on my bike, and I had already had way too much stuff to carry. My plan was to come back for it later, but—I forgot.
