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 [...]

I am not very good at memorizing scripture. But I can remember the basic idea of a verse very easily. I am not very good at memorizing the exact chapter and verse of scripture. But if I have my own Bible I can usually find just about anything I’m looking for. Except when I’m at [...]

This morning an egg broke on the bottom of the refrigerator while Theresa was cooking eggs. Samuel came [...]

Gabrielle is writing these serious posts, and I have some rants saved up for another time. But right now I’m not in the mood for a serious post. So here are some quotes from my notebook. Some are waiting to be incorporated into the right story, and some are real life quotes– “Promise me an [...]

My three year old nephew Peter brought me flowers today. Three stems of clover, to be exact. The stems were a little short but I managed a creative arrangement in a small vase.

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. The one thing that struck me from this commercial was the women who were portrayed. Up to half of the individuals portrayed were women. Women in Basic training, women standing [...]

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.
