the quotidian (3.2.20)

Quotidian: daily, usual or customary; 
everyday; ordinary; commonplace


For supper, pancakes and eggs (plus pudding, strawberries, and a dangerous amount of bacon).

Running the oven, hard. 

Such bright students, they are. 
He’s also the child who refuses to use a calculator because he wants “to get better at it.”

Now that we wear the same size, solving the whose-is-whose problem.

Him: Look what I bought, Ma!
Me: YOU DID NOT.
Him: You’re right. It’s borrowed.

Forced forsythia.

Fur baby.
She’s four!

The “cake.”
Her breakfast of choice.

Blow!
And now they’re even again: 14, 16, 18, 20.

This same time, years previous: we nailed it, dusty magic, kids and money: how we’re doing it, the quotidian (3.3.14), the Chicoj coffee cooperative, leap year baby, potatoes and onions, red raspberry rhubarb pie.

    What a lovely family gathering! And children are children, no matter how old they grow. My students have grown from being little children to teens and pre-teens. I've known most of them for more than a decade now. It is amazing to see how fast they grow!
