On Saturday night, Gary and I drove down to Newport, RI, to the campus of Salve Regina University, for the first-annual Angel’s Masquerade Ball. There, in a positively stunning mansion, we celebrated the life of young Glenna Kohl, who passed away last fall at age 26 after her battle with melanoma.
With almost 400 guests, an...

So I’m contemplating whether to keep this blog going. I obviously haven’t been here much, and I have two other sites going and a third on the way. I might just end up being one of those people who opts for microblogging instead, because you can follow our (my) life much more up-to-the minute on...

How was your Labor Day weekend? What did you do to celebrate all that labor you’ve been putting in elsewhere?
Since you just clicked on a site called SaltyHedman.com, I’m going to go ahead and assume you’re at least slightly interested in what we Hedmans were up to?… Well Friday night included a planned run around...

So there are a few things to catch you up on, since the last time I wrote…

So, it was no secret to some of you, but fairly secret to the Internets, that I just spent four cozy days home alone while Gary was off at the Jones Beach and Mansfield Phish shows. He had a rousing great time with his buddies, renting an RV and feasting off of our beloved buffalo...

Gary finished fencing in our back yard this Sunday, which lead to a spontaneous doggy-filled BBQ evening!
You can see the picket fence in the background here, but rest assured there is also wire fencing behind it to keep the four-leggeds on the inside.
I love that everyone’s laughing and happy in this photo:
Tracy’s kids are so...

There’s a wildly growing trend of people starting their own vegetable gardens right now. After reading Barbara Kingsolver’s Animal, Vegetable, Miracle I must say that I myself was sold on the adventure!
We started planting from seeds about eight weeks ago, which means it’s time to start moving these little guys out to the great outdoors....
