All of a sudden it is really and truly Spring, and I can’t even begin to say how relieved I am. Not that winter here is so insufferable- (it’s really so mild and short) but ever since we started our (…)
Parades
by angeliska on March 1, 2009
It’s always so strange- the feeling of traveling a long way in the course of a day. A morning, and then an afternoon pass on the journey and I am hurtled across these old familiar highways back to a place (…)
Birthdee Glee
by angeliska on January 23, 2009
I am very happy and a tad abashed to admit that my 30th birthday was such a momentous occasion that it has taken me nearly two weeks to recover from the festivities! Our abode may never recover, in fact- we (…)
Lone Grove New Year
by angeliska on January 2, 2009
It’s become a New Year’s tradition for me and mine to go out to Lone Grove, a ghost-town near Llano and my ancestral home. My aunt and uncle live there now, and before them my grandparents and great-grandparents lived there. (…)

On Tuesday, my sweetheart and my grandfather and I are going to San Francisco for a week! It’s strange to think that it has been nearly a year since I visited San Francisco! So much has happened in that time, (…)
Summerfluff
