Cheverly Dolphins and Random Thoughts from the Cheverly Pool
I felt a little blue yesterday. Not depressed, but just feeling a bit low. I could guess at the many reasons, but I’ll spare you the details. After arriving home from work I told the kids, “Hey! Let’s head out to the pool” and that’s just what we did. Amazing how the secluded area around…

Cheverly: An Oasis in the Midst of a Big City
Check out this map from Crime Reports. Colorful isn’t it? These are the latest crime stats for our part of the district. And check out Cheverly to the right. Oh yes, Cheverly–you can see the name of our town listed because there are very few dots. The light blue ones are theft from vehicles, the dark…
Curb Appeal
Every time I drive by the house above in Cheverly I always think, “wow- that house has curb appeal!” And it truly does.

I Was A Loner Until…VBS!
Parents, parents, parents! Yes, I’m screaming! All of you should consider sending your children to VBS at Cheverly United Methodist Church this year.

“We Choose” Wednesdays!
After a year of blogging and a steady stream of readers, part time photography business on the side, full time job, a husband, two little boys and a house to take care of just doesn’t leave me with tons of room for creativity with this blog. That is why I’ve decided to enlist a few…
Loving My CSA!
CSA. What’s that? I’m glad you asked. Here is a great, although somewhat lengthy description of it: You are a conscious consumer, concerned about the health of your family and the wellbeing of the Earth.
