Sunday Coffee – Hello
Time for some general updates from the Gignacery! We made it through Week 1 of Band Camp. Seriously, as I mentioned in my July wrap-up, band camp is insane here. It’s band camp with a capital BC. This week was … Continue reading
Sunday Coffee – Japan, parties, construction
Morrigan has told us tons about Japan but he’s not really interested in sitting down to dictate stories for me, heh. The long and short of it goes like this: he loved the food, even the seafood, which surprised me … Continue reading
Sunday Coffee – Audio Recommendation Request
First off, Morrigan got in from Japan last night. I’ll be posting about that later this week with pics and all, but I want to give him a chance to recover from jet lag and choose what he wants to … Continue reading
Sunday Coffee – So Many Movies
For years and years I’ve said I’m not really a movie person, and that’s generally true. I’m not sure why this year is different, if it’s my mood or the movies that are coming out, but either way, I’ve been … Continue reading
Sunday Coffee – Halfway Point
Since we’re now halfway through the year, I thought I’d do a quick halfway point check-in. I’m going to skip the rougher parts (those can be seen in individual month check-ins) and focus instead on my best-ofs for the year. … Continue reading
Sunday Coffee – House Update 2

Sunday Coffee – Happy Father’s Day!
(My dad, me, my brother William, my sister Becky.) (Jason and our three boys.) Dads really are made for crawling on, aren’t they? Happy Father’s Day!
Sunday Coffee – House Update 1
I figure I should chronicle the craziness here, as a way of keeping myself from going insane. Things that happened since last Sunday (another warning of LONG): 1 – The roofing company indeed fought, saying that none of this was … Continue reading
Sunday Coffee – Let’s Play the Good News Bad News Game
As you might be able to tell by my fine coffee picture, I’m currently sitting in a hotel. There’s quite a lot of story that leads up to this. It starts on June 1st, a crazy rollercoaster of a day … Continue reading
Sunday Coffee – Landscaping Progress (Tier 2)
When you use the words “xeriscape” and “South Texas” together, it conjures images of cactus and rock yards. That’s pretty much the xeriscape norm around here. It makes sense – we live in an area highly prone to drought, and … Continue reading
