As I was going to bed this week, I spied this beautiful almost full moon shining through the window. It inspired my choice of the quote for this week, “Follow your inner moonlight; don’t hide the madness.” – Allen Ginsberg


I got a pedicure this week. The price was right and I didn’t have to wait…


My kids and I rode the light rail downtown, stopped at the ball park to buy some roasted peanuts and then snapped this picture of a plane as it was being transported on a train, passing underneath the arch of the baseball stadium.

Hard at work making the Oreo crust for their uncle’s birthday mud pie.


Taking the slip ‘n slide idea quite literally – although I guess in this case it’s a slide ‘n slip.



I’ve been doing yoga with the doors wide open on these beautiful summer mornings and it feels so refreshing!

It feels like we are in the full swing of summer here. How was your week?
As always, beautiful kids. On the subject of moons, one mustn’t forget the song that touched many hearts when it was new, and lovers were separated by WWII: “I’ll be Seeing You.” Here is my favorite version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=175ck3rY6ZY

“I’ll be looking at the moon but seeing you.” What a beautiful line and an evocative song. I just looked it up and saw that Norah Jones released a version in 2020 during the pandemic which adds another distance the song covered. Thank you for this beautiful song to start my day, Dr. Stein!

That was a dedicated technician doing your pedicure Wynne. Love the color chosen! All the pics are wonderful this week- I am quite fond of the Calla Lily- sort of matches the toes.

Thanks for sharing, Wynne. It’s always a treat to see what you and your family have been up to. I had a great week, thanks. More articles came to me, and I just finished making another short presentation for my YouTube channel. All in all, just appreciating this incredible journey called “Life.” ππ

Great photos, especially the pedicure. I used to let Eagle give me a manicure, easy enough to wipe off the excess polish. : )

It looks like lots of summer fun going on at your house. I need to hire your pedicurist. I havenβt had a proper one since before the pandemic. π And the slide π was an innovative idea for some extra fun for slip nβ slide. Did your daughter come up with that idea? A couple weeks ago, I had a slip βn slide party, in my yard, for all the grands. We have a small hill in our yard so we started it at the top of it and they went slipping down pretty fast.

Nancy – the hill sounds wonderful for your party with the grands. What a fun grandparent you are!
Actually the slide was my 2-year-old’s idea. I think he heard “Slide” and thought of it instead of understanding what one is supposed to do with a slip n slide. And since we don’t have a hill – it wasn’t a bad idea!

It looks really like a good summer! When I need a pedicure, I will remember your son and ask for the same (style and price π). My week was extraordinary, I am on vacation in beautiful, and ever sunny Sicily with my parents and son!
