RSSMy husband is (generally) not one to respond to memes, but he was tapped for a Picture this… meme and he actually did it. The idea is to answer all the questions using only GOOGLE IMAGES. It looked like fun to me, so I thought I'd do one of my own. Here goes. Can you [...]

Challenging word puzzle
January 31, 2008 By 2 Comments
Our pastor gave this interesting puzzle to us last night at our prayer meeting. I love word puzzles and games, and this one was satisfyingly challenging. The goal is to find thirty (30) books of the Bible in the following paragraph. This is a most remarkable puzzle. It was found in an airplane seat pocket [...]

Joely's "makeover"
January 26, 2008 By 2 Comments
I cut off eleven inches of Joely's hair last night, which she is donating to Locks of Love. The whole idea started a couple days ago when I was talking to an acquaintance who mentioned her six-year-old had just donated her ponytail to Locks of Love. This wasn't the first time I've heard of Locks [...]

Over 10 years ago my husband and I purchased a deck of Composer playing cards from a music store in Anchorage, Alaska. We didn't [...]

Fighting over the dishes?
January 24, 2008 By 1 Comment
I never thought I'd see the day when my 10-year-old and 8-year-old argue with each other over who "gets to" do the dishes. But that day is here! I have found the motivation for chores that works—and works really well! (At least for the time being.) PlayStation time is SO precious to my kids that [...]

What I'm Reading: Fahrenheit 451
January 24, 2008 By 1 Comment
"Fahrenheit 451—the temperature at which book paper catches fire, and burns…" I just finished reading Fahrenheit 451 last night. Being science fiction, it's not a book I would have normally picked up on my own to read—I haven't really read much science fiction beyond Madenleine L'Engle—but my husband, a (rabid?) fan of Sci Fi, suggested [...]
