I too was going to comment about kitchen memories, but then I figured “This is my half-blog! I should be able to post and not just comment!”
Some of my favorite memories come from the kitchen. I looked at these memories and realized most of them center around my mother. For those of you who [...]

Beauty and the Beast used to be my favorite movie. Except for the prince at the end–in my nine year old opinion he looked wimpy, and I still don’t like him. But that’s really a side issue.
I was listening to the soundtrack this morning, by request from Peter and Elsie. One line struck me [...]

A glamorous life (Gabrielle)

I went and saw a movie on Saturday. Before the previews were some commercials and one of the commercials was for the Army National Guard.

Thinking About Gabrielle’s Wednesday (Raquel)

Gabrielle’s last post got me thinking. I’ve heard the story before, and I had about the same reaction. The Wednesday she described would just frazzle me. Driving stresses me out. People stress me out. Gabrielle is good at that sort of thing and I’m not.
