    What we do on Thursday

    What we do on Thursday

    I’m still without my laptop, but I have my phone and the inconvenient computer in the family room. So today, you see what we do on Thursday. (Yes, it looks like a simple, quick blog post. But with this hand-crank computer, it took an hour to get the photos resized and uploaded, in which time […]

    Technical difficulities

    I am currently without a laptop because my case broke and we’re sending it in for a replacement. That makes blogging (and schooling, bill paying, etc) difficult. So you get what you get. You get good doggies! I hate those stupid elves. You also get one smart chick, er turkey.  I want someone to try […]

    Terrible Tuesday: Good intentions vs. warm bed

    Terrible Tuesday: Good intentions vs. warm bed

    Last night, the Leonid meteor shower peaked. Despite being bone tired, I duly set my alarm for 1 a.m. But at 1 a.m., that part of my brain that would really like just five minutes of peace and a good night sleep for once, dangit, said, “Don’t you dare.” So I didn’t. There should be […]

    2 ways to deal

    There are two ways to deal with a cold Monday, a broken computer, a sick husband, and the general presence of grumpiness. The first: Or this:   Just dance, people. It’ll warm you up! It’s also the anniversary of Lucy first pulling the football away from Charlie Brown. Is it a coincidence that it falls […]

    I can do this?

    MTG has been ill since Thursday evening, but this was a softball tourney weekend, plus the regular stuff, and we had a craft date with friends, so I did some extra hustling. And we realized after the 30-minute drive home that we forgot the fancy (and not ours) camera at the ballpark last night, so that […]

    Sometimes…

    I wish I were a dog. Or at least had a dog’s life. Or this dog’s life, anyway. Mild buying cialis effects such as headache, nasal congestion, cold and fatigue are tolerable, risk-free and normal. Different changes are seen levitra prescription in men and women. Type 5 CRS reflects a systemic condition that involved their […]

    Fine Arts Friday: Dark, beautiful, and cold

    Astronomy is one of our family’s hobbies, and tonight we’re going star watching with a group of middle school students. I thought I’d share some of the resources we’ll be using to take them on a tour of the night sky and sky-watching tools in general. (Note: if I don’t post after this, know that […]

    Screw your courage to the sticking place

    Screw your courage to the sticking place

    My friend Erika Franz tipped me off to this amazing video series, C.S. Lewis Doodle.  (The embedding feature is disabled, but do check it out.) I haven’t watched them all yet, but I’m impressed with with what I’ve seen so far in the two from The Screwtape Letters. Those videos use the amazing radio theater […]

    Memory endures

    Memory endures

    Are you a fox or a hedgehog? A fox knows many things and a hedgehog knows one thing well.  My grandfather was a foxy hedgehog. Or maybe a hedgehoggy fox. He had a wide variety of hobbies and interest, and he did them all well. He was a photographer, a genealogist, a gardener, a collector […]

    They all said yes

    I’ll admit it: I’m a sucker for the military family reunion videos. I tear up every time. One of my most vivid memories is of my brother holding his six-week-old daughter for the first time.
