Meanwhile, back on his home planet, Forno, in the town of Ziti, Biff's best friend Neal Parmesan sat in his comfortable recliner, watching the news. His phone began to vibrate, the first notes of the popular song "Lasagna" sounding tinnily through the room. Grabbing the device, he wiped the screen [...]
Read MoreI asked my kids for words... they gave me the following: word, chivalrous, peanut butter, Yoshi, pony So what follows is what I came up with from those words. The light brown pony, who was just about the same color as peanut butter, stood chewing calmly by the fence as [...]

We have a “new” tradition (formed over the last several months) of having Sunday lunch of Jennie-O Turkey Roast, mashed potatoes, and green beans. Since the roasts cook over 2.5 hours or so, it makes it perfect for putting in before Sunday School and having it ready when we arrive home (I *do* have to turn the heat down a […]
I saw this posted on Facebook and I think it is a very neat idea! I’m going to try it with my kids one of these days soon.
Early rising. Babysitting friend’s mom. Quiet.
Return. Dad. Family. Gratitude. Memes. Fiction.
She opened her eyes, slowly, keeping them squinted against the brightness of the sunlight. She sat up abruptly, then regretted her hasty action, as her head began to pound. Closing her eyes tightly, she stayed as still as possible until the pain lessened. She tried again. A field surrounded her, the plants only ankle-high. Several hundred yards in any direction […]
Friday. Friends, fellowship, fun. Frantically finishing final feats. Finally free. I have always been unaccountably fond of alliteration. Maybe I will try doing a verse for each letter of the alphabet. That might be amusing.
“Find Us Faithful” (Steve Green) Will *I* be found faithful?
Taco Bell 308 County Park Rd Scottsboro, AL 35768 To Whom It May Concern: I would like to take a moment to let you know that we visit Taco Bell restaurants all over the southeast, and of all the Taco Bell restaurants we have visited in the region, your store is the absolute best. We have not yet found one that measures […]
My dad has been in Heaven for nine years now. How incredibly long – and how incredibly short – a time that seems. While I was not a “daddy’s girl” or particularly close with my dad, we did have things in common and we did talk (or IM) regularly. Occasionally I think of something I wish I knew that only […]
Yes, it is possible. I have only recently joined (it’s free to join!) so I haven’t made money yet, but I know someone who has, so I know it really works. It’s Varolo – which is set up to help advertisers AND consumers, by allowing consumers to watch advertisements when they want to, and advertisers know that their ads are […]
I’m sorry that I have been remiss in sending updates! I looked and it appears I have not written since FEBRUARY! I did not realize it had been that long. A lot has happened in the intervening months. Of course, I turned 40 in February, so that was a pretty big month, but I believe I already mentioned that in […]
I’ve joined VirtaPay (back when it was PayBox.me) and they have now introduced the idea that Facebook is a good way to verify people’s identities, and that they intend to require it. I have written an essay explaining why I think it’s a bad idea. (Non-VirtaPay users that may be interested may contact me for the essay if they’d like… […]
I must live a most unremarkable existence. I have nothing going on that anyone would be interested in asking about (with the exception of, occasionally, my children). We have no involvement in sports, art, or scouts. We belong to no clubs or organizations (except church). We homeschool, so there are no school-related items (such as science fairs or field trips […]
I would love to visit Scotland one day. When I was young, my family was planning to go, but it never materialized. Ever since then, I’ve wanted to visit Scotland. It is a country of beauty. It is a country of castles. And, it is a country that needs Christ.
I got thinking about this today. I hear of people who are told they have terminal illnesses. It occurred to me that, you know, we never know how much time we have. I was thinking that if I *knew* I had only a few weeks left, I would make videos for my children. I’d spend more time making memories. I […]
When told the reason for Daylight Savings Time, the old indian said, “Only the government would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket, sew it to the bottom, and have a longer blanket.” VERY WISE Indian there!!
I know it’s a cliche, but it’s true. People may “disown” their family, but the blood tie remains, regardless. We have been blessed to spend the last few days with family that we don’t see often enough. My husband’s oldest sister, her husband and her youngest three children came to visit. We have enjoyed many pleasant activities together, and it […]
Right now, I’m listening to a sermon by Bro David Gibbs. I’m not sure yet what the topic is, because it’s only just starting. 🙂
I am definitely a coffee person. I have never cared much for tea (though I did drink hot Red Rose tea with my mom occasionally as a child). I don’t do cold on either one of them, either. Iced coffee or tea just is *wrong* to me. Although, I do have to say that Sonic’s java chiller is really good […]
