And I just can’t hide it! Oops. Got carried away.
High today is only supposed to be 77 degrees! My curtains are open, the windows are up, and the ceiling fans are on high. I’m so thankful for this chance to air out the house in June.
I absolutely HATE air condition, but I’m not so stupid [...]

Three teen-age boys were out having a good time when they were hit by an out-of-control car on an offramp. They rolled three times before the car came to rest.
Why won’t this make the news? ALL THREE were wearing their seatbelts and walked away from the scene.
Praise God! One of the young men is a [...]

Why is it that when I don’t buy a lot of fruit for the week the munchkins go berserk and eat it all in two days, but when I buy what I think should be enough for the week, 1/3 of it ends up in the chicken bucket?

Not in Southern Kentucky!
Last year by this time I’d already picked enough strawberries to give away quarts to friends and neighbors and to make my first batch of strawberry jam. I picked the first berries of this season on Sunday, only about two quarts. And they weren’t very sweet.
We’ve had the most beautiful weather for [...]

As The World Gets Hungrier The Big Name Food Companies Get Richer
I get tired of hearing how Free Market Capitalism is somehow The Most Biblical form of economy on the planet. Capitalism, like every other type of economy or form of government, is not immune from sin. In the case of capitalism, greed rears its [...]

WAIT! Don’t answer that…. it’s just a rhetorical question!
Have you ever sat in an old cemetery and wondered about the lives of the people buried there? I wish I could peek into a day in one of their lives. Or read a journal. Or see old photographs.
Have you ever imagined a story to go along [...]

Or writer’s block? Who knows.
It does finally feel like spring, so I’ve been spending a lot of time outside. Weeding, planting, hanging out laundry, sitting and reading. Not so much time for blogging.
It feels strange not to be pouring over curriculum catalogs, trying to figure out what to do next year. We’ve been doing this [...]

I know I haven’t been good about keeping up with these things lately, but my friend The (Almost) Amazing Mammarino who blogs at Homeschool Circus has tagged me and this was her first meme. How could I say no?
Here’s how this one works…
1. The rules are posted at the beginning.
2. Each player answers the questions [...]

I’m too busy embracing my inner materialist to post today. I’ll be back when I run out of gas.

But not a drop to drink! Where is that quote from anyway?
Back to the blog. Lots of rain today. Lots and lots of water everywhere. Which reminded me that my little ole bloggy notebook where I write quick notes to myself about possible future blog posts had an entry about water. Tap water, to be [...]

Schools are for Fish
Why is it that the people we need most in our country are the ones who get the least respect? Even doctors have been marginalized thanks to insurance companies.
I’d love to give a kick in the pants to certain IT professionals and remind them that garbage pickup can’t be outsourced to India.

I posted this on the SL forum, but the question is still stirring in my brain. What happened to young Johnny Tremaine and his lady-love, ‘Cilla, during the American Revolution? Have you ever thought that about the possibility that he didn’t live through the war? Do you ever think about your 16yo son having to [...]
