It’s been awhile since I have done this, so I figured why not. Here’s a summary of some of the more offbeat, underreported items that I found of interest.
An Indiana eighth grader won the Scripps National Spelling Bee by spelling the word guerdon, which ironically means reward. My favorite moment came in an [...]

I know I live alone, with my dog and the unpredicted cat. And there are times when you could swear that the pillow was over here, now it was over there; or when you could have sworn you had another beer or soda in the fridge but when you look there is none; or when [...]
So awhile ago I was in the evil place–also known as a bookstore–and saw a book on sale for about $5. So what the heck, I picked it up. It was called the Yada Yada Prayer Group. I did not realize at the time that it was the first of seven books, but it was [...]

Okay, so I am surfing over to see how my friend is doing and see if there are any new photos of the girls, and what do you know dang it the girl called me out! Like we haven’t all seen this in email format over and over again, now it’s in blog format? But [...]

You know how sometimes, without even meaning too, you lose touch with someone from your past? We all have friends that are that way or pastimes that have ended, even though we do not want them to do so. You keep meaning to get in touch, you keep meaning to visit, you keep [...]

Do you ever wonder who comes up with these ideas? Some make sense, some are cool, some are just laugh-out-loud absurd. My brother and I were at a loss for last Christmas when shopping for mom, so we turned it into an infomercial themed event. I think Goodwill has benefited from just [...]

Disclaimer: Sorry, bit rambling today, but lots of thoughts all jumbled up in my mind haven’t straightened themselves out enough to be linear. Typing this helped some, but not quite enough . . .
This morning I was actually up early (woo hoo!) and made it to the pancake breakfast at church without any [...]

So it’s the first time I’ve taken time off in six months. I can’t remember the last time I had time off with no agenda whatsoever, though. I have accomplished just about everything on my to do list within the first 48 hours, and now have another 48 hours to do whatever I please.
Bliss!
So far, [...]

So today was part deux of my father’s visit. While I felt for him, he didn’t sleep well last night, I slept like a rock. We worked for another three hours this AM, trimming hedges, power washing a bit more, and then cutting down tree number two. He left to meet a [...]

So today I’m not working, and my father, that blessed man, came down to help me out around the house. We’ve power washed 7/8 of it, cut down a tree, cut the grass, fixed my car, rehung siding, and have another list for tomorrow. Bless his heart, I bet he didn’t think he’d get into [...]

Living where I do, in a town that has three other major towns within a two hour drive and several more within four hours, we get passed by on a regular basis. For someone like me who is a major theater junkie, that means that we frequently get passed by for various touring entertainment [...]

So today, I sat down and finally finished an email response to a friend who emailed me ten days ago. Just trying to catch up, and then the wordy email reply. In the email, I mentioned how I had read (again) the entire Harry Potter series and was looking for something to read that was [...]

Tonight was the production by the youth of the church. It just amazes me that you have 250 kids between seventh and twelfth grade that are that into what they believe. I think I was a complete and total mess at that age, and I know that I was no different than these [...]

In 1977, my family moved from the only house that I had remembered into a new one. Immediately our neighbors, L&D, became like family to us. And when he came along, their son C did as well. Through the divorce of my parents to the troubled teen years, L was there [...]

Finally! A Saturday with absolutely gorgeous weather, light breeze, no clouds, and not too hot. So this morning, after I had breakfast, I picked up B and NoMH for a trip “to the middle of nowhere” according to NoMH. Actually, we just went to the other side of the river and west [...]
