In keeping with the true spirit of autumn, my FAVORITE season, I am spending lots of time making soup and staring glassy eyed into our gorgeous leaf-ful backyard, thus I am going to re-run a post from last October when a similar thing happened. This will give you a good idea of The Ryderdom right…Continue reading Re-runs are Fun

The Favorites
Alright Low Ryder fans, you are needed. I am adding a “Favorites” section to my categories with links to your favorite Low Ryder posts. However, I would like to link YOUR ACTUAL favorite posts, not mine, though they might be the same. Ideally, this “Favorites” section will highlight the kind of writing that keeps you…Continue reading The Favorites
A Bushel and A Peck
On Monday, we went for our third annual Labor Day Apple Picking Event. We considered rescheduling due to the forecast of heavy winds and rain, but we really had no other plans for the day, so we consulted Doppler Radar, hoping we could find some good news. Doppler Radar indicated that, if we were to…Continue reading A Bushel and A Peck

Goin’ to the Mountains!
Hey Folks, We’re more than halfway through our 75 days of summer vacation and at least halfway through our Ryder “summer money.” I have to say, NOT reporting weekly on our expenditures like I did last summer, has been a huge relief. It’s not that we are doing much differently, but it is just nice…Continue reading Goin’ to the Mountains!
Don’t Even Complain
I’m going to tell you right away that this isn’t the Cousins post. And it isn’t the extremely humiliating post I am mentally writing called “I am a Dipwad.” Those will have to be written another time when I don’t need to turn in early. Because, dear readers, tomorrow, my hot husband is taking me…Continue reading Don’t Even Complain
The Mission of Moms
I am constantly reading blogposts that I want to share, but all the while, I am thinking that I don’t want to linking you to someone else’s blog for fear that you will like it more than mine. This is selfish; I know. But it is true. Yet, when a blog post manages to say…Continue reading The Mission of Moms
