…Middlesex.
I was told by the fabulous used book store owner that I couldn’t leave his shop without a copy of this book. I’m a hundred and three pages in and, so far, enjoying the experience.
I haven’t quite figured out what the story is ABOUT yet - Punkin Pie keeps asking me, “Mommy, what’s this [...]

This is what it looks like at the end of our road. That end has always been funky - there’s a little pond to the right of the street - you can’t really see it in the picture - and for reasons we’ve never been able to quite figure out, it has always been [...]

…a couple of weeks ago, the girls and I were in the car in a restaurant parking lot, waiting for Daddy to meet us for dinner.
