Thrift Store Thursday

My friend Jeremy Buckley was my music guru in college. The kind of person I like to have around because they seem to be in the know of up and coming musicians before anyone else does. The kind of person who made me CDs of bands he knew I would like (and I did [...]

The Good Life: Part Six

Confession: I love Lincoln, Nebraska. I spent a lot of time there and wanted to share some of my favorite places.

***

One of my first jobs ever was working an ice cream stand next to the buggy, muggy Susquehanna River in Pittston, Pa. We were “swirl girls,” young females in short [...]

Golden Globes

Finally, my garden is producing tomatoes. Oh this color! Oh this shape! Reminds me of jewelry.

Tasty, still warm-with-sunshine jewelry. Served halved with a balsamic vinegrette. [...]

Sunday Service

Confession: I love Longmont.

On Sundays, not all but some Sundays, I like to go to Javastop at the corner of Third Avenue and Main Street in downtown Longmont. In 2004, after flying all day from southwest Florida, getting off a plane in Denver, renting a car to drive to this little [...]

Parent Trap

MomVisit7

Finally, some time and a clear enough brain to recap Mom’s recent visit to Colorado. I’ve counted that we’ve seen each other on approximately six times in as many years; it’s not for lack of want, let me assure you. But I’m grateful when I do see her. I’m also, as any adult child with a [...]

Vintage basket bought at Serendipity in Longmont. Price forgotten.

Bon Appetit

You know how there are, like, crews of people who just gravitate towards each other for whatever reason but it’s like a time capsule, securing a time and place in your life? Like Smalls and Benny and the rest of the kids in “The Sandlot“?  (GREAT movie)

This summer I was somehow absorbed into a [...]

Ask Me A Question

Once again, thanks to @pixelsrzen for these questions via formspring.me/melsidwell – you can ask me something, too, anonymously or by name.

What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon when you were growing up?

Favorites as a Little Kid including Gem (truly truly truly outrageous!) and Thundercats, now a favorite On Demand of The Kid’s. Later [...]

Back Talk

Photo taken with TiltShift Generator app for iPhone. Flowers on Dresser, taken August 17, 2010.

Time to catch up. Back to normal life. It’s been hectic here:

- Hackers infiltrated my hosting site and had some fun with some malware here on this blog and others. Hopefully we’ve fixed the problem, but [...]

Thrift Store Thursday

Purses. Some women seem to be obsessed with them. I am not. Not quite. Not yet anyway.

But this was so purty. And strong. I bought it more as a statement piece and less as a carry-all. I’ve never actually used this purse. I just admire it. In the my closet. Sometimes it’s [...]
