2010 Winter Beer Festival
I am not a beer drinker. If you know me, you’ll never confuse me as a gung-ho fan of beer. In fact, at parties, I often amaze people with the sheer number of other options in my repertoire. “Ohhh, what’s that?” they’ll ask. “You know all the fun drinks!” Cosmos, martinis, mai tais, Shirley Temples.

“So, How Do You Get Your Own Paparazzi?”
This weekend, we headed to the east side of the state to hang out with the fam and attend one of Brad’s basketball tournaments. With most of his games on Tuesdays and Thursdays, we were excited to finally be able to see not one, but two games– bad sister and brother-in-law no longer! Here’s a [...]
News of the Weird
At church this weekend, the little girl two pews ahead of us was solving mazes… and not just any mazes. These were SZ mazes from a book edited by yours truly. That was a weird moment as my brain sorted out why exactly I was seeing work in church. It was like one of those [...]
Happy Paczki Day!
Kevin bought paczkis this morning! It’s been awhile since I’ve had a real, aka not the supermarket-jelly-doughnut-masquerading-as-a-paczki, paczki. It was delicious!

“You Guys Have Really Nice Stuff!”
We’ve been on a real cleaning binge over here at Casa Neumann, let me tell you! Over the past several weekends, we’ve gone through just about every closet, drawer, and storage area in the house. We’ve been organizing up a storm– recycling, trashing, and accumulating a large donation pile of what we no longer needed/were [...]
Oh, Go Fly a Kite!
It’s been cold out this weekend, but it’s also been sunny! We’ve got a couple of bird friends who are back from the southern climates and are braving the winter temperatures in our backyard. We’ve been hearing them all weekend long, and they seem cheerful enough… despite the fact that they must be freezing their [...]
