I owe you February
Let’s see what us Ackerts were up to in the shortest (and coldest) month of 2013: We began turning a dirt pile (and a dream) into a reality…Kevin’s getting a garage. Welcomed my parents for a visit…then said goodbye. I … Continue reading

Scarves
have caught my attention. I somehow just realized that the very item I dutifully wrap around my neck before venturing out in the cold, has been moonlighting as an outfit-maker! I dress for comfort, and usually sometimes miss trends or … Continue reading
Walking
A thoughtful friend at work gave me a meditation book, Healing After Loss. One of the passages reads, “When we need these healing times, there is nothing better than a good long walk. It is amazing how the rhythmic movements … Continue reading
