Conference Preview
The weekend was busy and frenetic and FUN. Here is a sneak preview; I am posting it for Sarah: Andrew Kern and an Obnoxious Adoring Fan The full (or fullish) post is on deck. For now though, I'm eating cherry pie à la mode with my freshly minted 15-year-old. He was 7 when I first started blogging. I can't--cannot!--believe it. … [Read more...]

Post Memorial Day Musings
On What it Means to be Truly Free ~ To the dad in the check-out line at Rainbow Foods. You are why I'm writing this. ~ I really love Memorial Day. Yes, it's the start of a long overdue summer, but it's the flags & the grave markers that really get me. My life...your life...the freedom we have and take for granted... Just take a … [Read more...]
Puppy Love {and a Blog Announcement}
George's birthday was yesterday. Can you believe that the baby in this photo is already five?! I can't. We celebrated quietly, as a family, with fish sticks & cake (eaten separately) and later, a monkey pinata in the backyard. I didn't take a single photo (because I can't find my memory card) but because I am working on a New Improved … [Read more...]
Something Other Than God
That's a wonderful book title, isn't it? A wonderful title, yes, but such a sad, sad thought. Why would we want to choose something other God? And yet we do.

Weigh-In Wednesday
Vol. VII: On being dissed by the Target clerk for buying junk food Alternately Titled: Think-About It Thursday What? I was really busy yesterday.

It's even … [Read more...]
They love me; they love me not
Or, how that deck of cards was stacked against me Did you have a good Mother's Day? I did...and then I didn't. And then I did...and then I didn't. Mother's Day is such a tough one! It's all about us, allegedly, and so when it's not (all about all us, that is) we tend to pout and/or cry and/or be disappointed. I do, anyway. At least, … [Read more...]
Weigh-In Wednesday
Vol. VI: In Which I Ponder the Existence of Overweight Crickets So what do you think: Would changing the name of this series to Weight-Off Wednesday inspire people to link up? 'Cause I'm not really feeling the link-up love right now. No offense to your own sweet self, of course. You're great. It's just...it's just...I'm weighing the merits … [Read more...]
