Liam’s had lots of concerts lately, this weekend it was with Intermezzo, the younger branch of the Claremont Young Musician’s Orchestra. This is quite a select group of young players, ages 8-17, who audition every fall and spend most sunday afternoons together rehearsing. Here they are playing in a beautiful “small” Bridges Hall in Pomona…

Return from the Frozen North!
We had a wonderful 3 days up in June lake, in the cabin of a wonderful friend! The boys haven’t really played in the snow for several years now, and every winter they bemoan that fact. (Here in Redlands, we can see snow up in the mountains just an hour away…but we’ve never taken the time to…
Snapshots from Christmas Morning
I hope you had a great holiday – we sure did! It’s just the four of us – well, of course, Stirling too! So it was a pretty low-key celebration. I was really really busy finishing up school and last minute orders, but I somehow was able to retain memories from LAST Christmas, when I was…
One Moment: Liam the Scholar
My older son Liam is very bright. Really – just ask anyone who has ever had a conversation with him! He is very articulate, has lots of interests, reads voraciously and retains all sorts of info from all those science and history things he watches on TV. But until this year, he’s not been tuned…
Home safe and sound
In the ER Thursday at 9:30 AM, home minus one appendix by Saturday at 3 PM. Logan wanted me to post pix of him in his new PJ’s. We’re happily ensconced in the Living room, having a Harry Potter marathon. I’m truly amazed at how fast he’s rebounded! And to be away from the hospital,…
Awesome Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe
My birthday was last week, and my hubby cooked me an awesome dinner! Although I’m not a good food photographer, I did my best to document it, as I’d been tweeting about it and making people hungry – yay twitter! First up – baked brie! Andrew sauteed some sliced apples and almonds in butter, brown sugar and…
Halloween 2010 Report
Well, we were able to squeeze in some pumpkin carving, a party on Saturday night and trick or treating on Sunday. As the kids get older, they’re much more inclined to start doing their own thing. Back when they were little, I was able to make them costumes that they wanted – here’s an awesome…
One Moment: My Boy is Growing Up
Last weekend I took Liam, my 13 year old to audition for a regional orchestra, the Claremont Young Musician’s Orchestra (CYMO) not once…but twice. This is a group (actually 2 groups with upper ages of 17 and 20) that meets once a week about 45 minutes from Redlands. They play several concerts each year, occasionally at Disney Hall…
It’s the most wonderful time…of the year!
Yes, that’s right, the boys went back to school today! Redlands is on a “modified traditional” schedule – they have 2 months off in the summer, rather than 3. I’ve got a little under 3 weeks til I’m on my way to Cleveland to tape 2 segments of Quilting Arts TV, and boy do I…
Installing Bamboo Floors, One Day and DONE!
After the declutter to end all declutters in the boys playroom and bedroom last week, we then ripped up the nasty carpet and padding on Friday. Although the walls of the boys bedroom were painted when we first moved in (see that story along with the Southwestern style quilts I made for their beds here)…
My name is Candy Glendening...and I’m addicted to color! I dye fabric so I can have just the hue & texture I want, and then use it to make art quilts and “everyday art”.
