Mmmm nummm numm nummmm


Although this is not a picture of him, mmmmm nummmm nummm nummm is the sound my #1 son used to make whenever you fed him as a baby. Every single mouthful was a new experience of joy as he got to eat that mashed up food, pablum, applesauce, or whatever the day's menu held.

That's also the sound I made in my head when I looked out this morning at the sunrise. Mmmm nummm nummm nummm. How pretty it is! The pink sky, the frosted grass and trees, the snow capped mountain. I would take a picture, but it really doesn't even do it justice.

Here are some other "mmmmmm nummmm nummm's" I can think of.


  1. A great conversation with my sister or my brother or my Dad. (That's a hint, in case you are reading this...sister, brother...Dad.....)

  2. A spontaneous coffee outing with a friend I haven't connected with in a while.

  3. A crackling fire early this morning. I even got it started and I didn't have to use up the whole newspaper. GOOD for me!

  4. Finding a new use for a vase. (collecting all the paintbrushes my daughter and son use in the "oh-boy-company's-coming-better-put-this-somewhere-room.")

  5. The satisfaction of seeing my daughter develop her artistic skills. I am a vicarious artist.

  6. My new washer and dryer. (for another blog...but oh boy mmmmm nummm nummm nummm)

  7. The arrival of the "REAL SIMPLE" magazine in my mailbox today which off set the "what?-I-owe-how-much?!!!" mail.

  8. A dog who thinks its T-RIFFIC when I drive in the driveway/open the door/take her for a walk/look at her.

  9. A trip to the flower shop this week to enjoy their displays and to talk to knowledgeable staff about projects that I probably will never decide to do. Knowledge is power!

  10. A great lunch interlude with my mother-in-law this week. Spontaneous and too short...but mmmmm nummmm nummmm nummm!

Wouldn't have missed it for the world

Isn't he just the sweetest thing? Those dark eyes turned blue and the black hair turned blond, and too quickly, this little guy grew taller than his dad and me. Today, it is eighteen years since that bright, blue-skies February morning when he made his debut. It has been eighteen years of many wonderful memories. Very early, I heard him chuckle at his sister's antics. He used to crawl on his belly, pulling himself along with his elbows. And when he was learning how to eat solids, he would say "mmmmNummNumm" as he ate, making the heart of the cook soar (even though it came from a jar). There was the day that I told him that if he sat and watched too much t.v. he would become a couch potatoe. He switched the t.v. off, and proceeded to inform me with little hands outstretched, and sincerity in his voice, that if he played too much Lego, he would become a Lego blueberry. And the Christmas season when we were doing Advent activities. He was drawing a picture of the ...

I decided to make March my month to release the expired. So far...   I have thrown out all makeup with less than one drop in the bottom of the jar.    I finally dumped the cauliflower in cheeze sauce I made for Christmas dinner.      I threw out the Pepto Bismol from 2010 - not even opened. It feels good to be rid of them.  It also makes me happy that I won't have to worry about bacteria in old makeup   And that my husband won't get sick from my cooking    And that my health has been good enough not to need the Pepto Bismol at all. Inspired by these events, I went through my closets. It is almost time to swap the winter for the summer.  My winter clothes seemed to have stood the test of time for now.  However, my shoes were showing major signs of wear.  I decided on two pairs that I need to say "Farewell" to. The corollary of getting rid of what is expired is that I now have room to add a couple new pairs. ...
