April 28, 2014 By Caroline TeSelle

Ladies Night Curling

February 4, 2013 By Caroline TeSelle

I went curling with Nancy, Ashley & Therese on Friday night.  Not curling {like twisting my hair with my fingers} but Curling ~ the Olympic sport of strategically pushing a 43 pound granite rock down a sheet of ice towards the target.  Even though the Waltham Curling Club in Triumph, Illinois was over an hour …read more

Dear Me,

September 13, 2012 By Caroline TeSelle

{a letter to my teenage self} It has been surprisingly difficult to write this letter to you. I look at pictures and I read through your journals and I find it hard to believe you are me. Knowing what I know now, I wish I could have a do-over of the years 1988 – 1992. …read more

At O’Hare waiting to board a plane back to Ashev At O’Hare waiting to board a plane back to Asheville. 

The past eight days have been a whirlwind: watching a hilarious murder-mystery comedy play, hosting the after-party (even though we went to bed 🤣), Super Bowl, dinner with girlfriends, thyroid biopsy, waiting two days for the results—benign 🙌🏻, early 26th anniversary dinner, book club, Amazing Race marathon, spring musical auditions…and all the moments in between. 

Thankful. Embracing this current season of life & holding on tight.
Yesterday morning, I boarded a plane in Asheville Yesterday morning, I boarded a plane in Asheville headed to Chicago. I’ve been back and forth the past four months helping my mom and dad in Asheville. 

I was flying back to Chicago to see Stone and Eden’s winter play, Murder Can Be Habit-Forming—a comedy about a serial killer that ends up in a convent full of Marys! It was a hilarious! Great job, Stone (as Professor Lewis) & Eden (Asst. Stage Manager)! ⁣
⁣
It was a small plane and I was seated in the last row of the plane at the window with one seat next to me. Across the aisle was the toilet. Prime seating!⁣
⁣
An older woman wearing a Connecticut sweatshirt sat down in the seat next to me and we exchanged hellos and commented on our choice of seats and how lucky we were. 😉⁣
⁣
Normally, I’m quiet on planes. Reading my book, listening to music, resting. But this woman intrigued me. She sparked my curiosity. ⁣
⁣
She had a New York accent so I asked if Asheville was home or if she was traveling home. She replied, “Now don’t get me crying,” and proceeded to tell me how she was traveling to Palm Springs to be with her friend when she received her guide dog. ⁣
⁣
We kept chatting the entire hour and twenty minute flight. I’m sure the other passengers were annoyed with us but we didn’t care. Peg was a joy!⁣
⁣
When the flight attendant finally got to us with the drink cart, I ordered a cup of ice so I could finish my Sprite that I had bought in the terminal. Peg ordered an orange juice so she could mix it with the tiny bottle of vodka she took out of her purse. ⁣
⁣
I poured my Sprite into my cup of ice, watched it fizz up, and put the bottle back on the tray table. (Continued in comments)
S I X T E E N. Happy Birthday, Eden! We love you S I X T E E N.

Happy Birthday, Eden! We love you 🥰
E I G H T E E N. I’m speechless. We love you so E I G H T E E N.

I’m speechless. We love you so much, Stone! Happy Birthday! 🎈#tesellelife
