We finally made it to SPAC to see the New York City Ballet! I’ve been meaning to go for years. They’re here, for what? Two weeks or so each summer? And every year I’m either away on vacation or it’s storming on the night I planned to go or something else ridiculous happens to thwart … [Read more…]
It’s our last day of school, which means I’m now the proud mama of a first grader and a (holy crap!) 4th grader! That makes us all pretty old. Sniff. You might be seeing a new photograph in the header (and if you don’t, you can keep refreshing until you do see it). One of … [Read more…]
No, I’m serious. Between the holiday and the snow day and the other snow day and my cold, I didn’t get much done this week. I am a wimpy snow driver, so I kept procrastinating away errands. I wasn’t feeling too great and the kids were around all over the place, I didn’t knock much … [Read more…]
I have a couple of items that I missed back when I did the week’s post. First, the Nisky Dixie Cats will be playing at the Niskayuna Town Gazebo tonight (Tuesday) at 7 pm, and The Rogues will be playing rock and roll on Thursday at 7 pm at the gazebo. The Homespun Occasions folks … [Read more…]

Holy crap! Just when you were saying, please, somebody deliver me from this heat and rescue me from my sweaty, messy house, and just give me something besides the pool to do so that I can give the kids a break before their eyes turn permanently bloodshot and their hair turns green due to overchlorination, … [Read more…]
Phew! Would you believe that we didn’t get home from J’s dance recital–she takes dance with Ginny Martin— until 10:30 pm? It was at The Egg downtown, and we were so starving that we stopped at Emack & Bolio‘s before heading home. The recital was great, J enjoyed herself immensely, and I’m too tired to … [Read more…]
Sure, the conventional choice for a Memorial Day Weekend post might be an American flag, but instead I took a picture of what’s in front of me: Isis the cat. Lookin’ for some love while her human just wants to finish the blog post. It’s a little irritating, but not as irritating as sneaking rodents … [Read more…]
Weekend’s over! After ranting on Friday and fretting on Saturday, we’re back to the weekly line up. There are also plenty of regularly scheduled events, and the weather’s looking pretty good, too. Yay. All Week From 3-4 pm each day, kids can help make a commercial for the Rensselaer Public Library‘s summer reading programs. Monday, … [Read more…]
Phew! Tons of stuff to do this weekend again! And beautiful weather! Woo, hoo! If you like to use the Tulip Festival for photo ops with your adorable children, All Over Albany says to go now. The tulips are ready early. Maybe I’ll get a new header photo? It’s also Pottery Fest at the Shaker … [Read more…]
