Harrison House

Goodbye Harrison House, I shall miss thee. . .

Your gleaming hardwood floors, beautiful old woodwork and the immediate charm you offer upon crossing your threshold

Spring evenings spent on your wide front porch watching the day fade and the abundant pink blooms on the trees swaying in the breeze

Evenings cooking in the kitchen sunlight streaming in the west windows, music blaring and the occasional dance with Dawson

Evenings grilling on the back deck nestled amongst tall maples

Greeting TW Everyday for lunch and after work

Waiting on the front porch to see my TW walk down the sidewalk home from work

We had many happy times under your roof little yellow house

My dear little Dawson this is the house we brought you home to from the hospital, so tiny and new, we were so proud ( and still are of course) of our sweet little man. This is the place of many firsts for you. Just so you know when you grow up...this was your first home.

Pesto, St. Paddy's Day, Sisters and Wine

Last week my sister Shauna and her two boys Vonn and Kingston came to visit us at Harrison house. It was great but all too short a visit. When they left I was sad and wished my sisters both lived closer!!

Dawson must have been sad too because he was super fussy after they left. And when it was time for me to leave for my Friends of the Library meeting he didn't want to be with anyone but his mommy. I think it was those darn teeth. They hurt him so. My poor baby was really fussy the rest of that week. : (

Shauna and I were super bad and had a glass of wine with our pesto quesadillas. YUM! This is a lovely creation I came up with on St. Paddy's Day.

Pesto + Tomatoes + Mozz Cheese in a quesadilla = sooooo GOOD!

I was feeling very Irish and festive after watching Meredith and Al Roker in Ireland. So I made corned beef and cabbage. We sat out on the back deck because the weather was unusually mild and so beautiful. We drank a little wine and I felt like we needed an appetizer so I whipped those up in a pinch. TW and Dawson shared a grilled cheese (this is D's fave food.)

And we listened to a great playlist Kiera10906's (All irish songs) http://www.playlist.com/playlist/2958298379

our fav was the one about the drunken scotchman -- very funny!
