Lest you think it’s all misery all the time around here lately, we’ve got new signs and sounds coming along! And Nik becomes more affectionate; less discriminating, apparently, but definitely more affectionate!
Just sharing the love!

Let’s talk about MeMe
Posted in blogging, facts about me, fun, meme on April 26, 2008 | 5 Comments »
Oh my. These two posts today have got me in a very serious frame of mind —not in a bad way, just in a way that I would prefer not to think about just yet. So, in my campaign of avoidance of issues which make me cry and/or feel my mortality too keenly…

Easter Surprises
Posted in Easter, fun, holidays, miscellany on March 22, 2008 | 16 Comments »
Seems the Easter flu is going around. I knew Nik’s raging fever couldn’t be from a simple ear infection. Now he’s coughing and has a runny nose…and has shared his bounty with me, too. Sigh…won’t be many festivities in our house tomorrow. Oh well.
Hope yours is joyful and full of [...]

Nik’s Autumn Almanac
Posted in autumn, family, fun, good mojo on October 14, 2007 | 9 Comments »
From the dew-soaked hedge creeps a crawly caterpillar,When the dawn begins to crack.It’s all part of my autumn almanac.Breeze blows leaves of a musty-colored yellow,So I sweep them in my sack.Yes, yes, yes, it’s my autumn almanac.
“Autumn Almanac” by Ray Davies, The Kinks
Yesterday, the sun rose brightly on a crisp, dew-sparkled morning. The call of [...]
Eatin’ Good in the Neighborhood
Posted in ASD, autism, bragging, brushing, family, feeding, food, fun, good mojo, milestones, progress, special needs on September 6, 2007 | 6 Comments »
It’s felt like a long week for some reason. Could be the long holiday weekend in which Nik exhibited the balance of a Zen master in his escape from the crib. Or the frequent interrupted nights of sleep which have been randomly sprinkled throughout the week. Or, perhaps, it’s just the emotions I have roiling [...]

Got this from a friend recently and just had to share it. You may want to turn up the volume so you can understand the words. It’s hilarious!

Lest you think the humans are the only crazy ones in our household…This is Pandora.
Aptly named, she thinks everything is a source of wonder to be explored and has gotten into trouble by opening many a box!
For those of you wondering how this particular story ends…she is an indoor only cat. The salamander lived to [...]
Idyll Moments — Everything’s Peachy
Posted in autism, connection, family, food, fun, good mojo, parenting, peach festival, special needs, summer on August 6, 2007 | 12 Comments »
As my little hometown grows up and becomes overrun with new housing developments and shopping centers, it is becoming increasingly rare to find celebrations of the old ways, the agrarian culture, and the simpler times. Sigh. As Rascal Flatts sings, “I miss Mayberry…”
One of the neighboring towns hosted their annual peach festival this weekend to [...]
Idyll Moments

In case anyone’s been worrying about my absence over the past few days —all is well in Niksworld. In fact, you could almost say it’s been idyllic. It is kind of amazing —when I let myself remember to do it — that when I put something out to the universe, God, my subconscious —or whatever [...]
