Mealtime Woes
on May 16, 2013, at 4:29 p.m.
My sons have become de facto vegetarians, but they’re the kind that doesn’t eat vegetables. I can’t blame them for passing on the peas and carrots, but their refusal to consume meat makes balanced meal planning difficult. Sammy, 3, used to be a great eater. Before his first birthday, he’d ...

Muck boots and tiaras
on May 15, 2013, at 11:50 a.m.
With two princesses living under one roof, one might fear being overrun by tiaras, glass slippers, ball gowns and highfalutin ideals, but not in the Mehuren household. When a princess spends her days trudging through mud and manure and playing indentured servant to a herd of 80 dairy cows, it’s ...

It was an Uncle Henry’s find many years ago. A fellow in Searsmont had her and I remember it came to him through his wife’s family. The canoe was upside down in wet grass. The rails and decks were rotten, the tops of both stems, and and plank ends both ...

13 Months and Fearless
on May 09, 2013, at 9:20 p.m.
It’s becoming clear that the little guy has no sense of safety or self-preservation. Now 13 months old, James still is not walking, but he crawls around with reckless abandon, going over and through all things that stand in his way. He’ll pull himself up on everything that provides some ...

Kicking off spring
on May 08, 2013, at 3:25 p.m.
About two months ago, I heard whisperings that spring was about to kick off with the opening of Gifford’s Ice Cream. It was still in the 40’s though at the time, and we were more likely to have snow than sun on any given day. So, like the west-coast wimp ...

Revelations from a week of warm, sunny days: 1. Playing baseball in the backyard is the three-year old’s new favorite activity. Though the term “baseball” is used somewhat loosely. All it really means is we go out after dinner and I throw a Wiffle ball into the air, hit it ...

Hancock-Waldo Bridge disassembled
on April 21, 2013, at 1:03 p.m.
Saturday, in the fog and rain, I went up to the bridges. There’s not a lot left of the old bridge now. Only a few sections left to come down. It’s not even a bridge anymore really, that’s what it felt like. More like parts and pieces with no purpose. ...

Loss of Leisure

“Staying home with kids, that’s a full-time job.” This is a common response I get when I explain to people that I am an at-home dad. I usually nod politely and say something about how the two boys do keep me busy. Even at “full-time,” this job (and I use ...
