It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

Christmas is a bridge.
We need bridges as the river of time flows past.
Today’s Christmas should mean creating happy hours for tomorrow and reliving those of yesterday.
~Gladys Tabor (Still Cove Journal)
Decorations are going up around town. The Victorian House tour is next week. Christmas movies are on the Hallmark channel 24 hrs. a day. Singing [...]

Black Friday Should Be Called “Crazies On The Loose”

Just the other day I blogged about the crazy holiday shoppers on the loose at Walmart. Well, I had no idea at the time just now certifiably insane people actually are! I saw on the news this morning that some poor Walmart worker got trampled by a frenzy of biserko shoppers. Now come on! Is [...]

Terror In India

Over a dozen terrorists strike in Mumbai, India. Well planned urban terrorism.  Four suspects killed and 9 arrested so far. Some still holed up inside the hotel.  Setting fires, taking hostages. Westerners targeted.
Scary, huh? Does the world just seem like it has gone crazy? I think so. It seems like it is only getting worse [...]

Simple Life

FOR TODAY (11/25/08)…
Outside my window…..the trees are swaying back and forth as the wind blows.
I am thinking… that I have so much to do by Thursday!
I am thankful for… my health.
From the learning rooms…we are griping about our math today.
From the kitchen…I am getting all my ingredients ready to make an apple cake.
I am wearing…a [...]

Whew! It’s Crazy Out There

I know my blogging has been kind of hit or miss lately. I apologize. I’ve just been extremely busy. Really. Half the time I don’t even remember my own name. (Maybe I should start wearing a name tag…that might help.)
On Saturday we realized that we were out of cat litter, so you know what that [...]

Radical Rules or A Radical Rules?

Now, it is no secret that Obama read and implemented Saul Alinsky’s rules while he was a community organizer in Chicago. (Same city that Alinsky called home)  I never knew what Alinsky’s book Rules For Radicals, actually said. I’ve been doing some research and find his rules very interesting. I can see that Obama was [...]

God Glitter

I know I’ve mentioned this before but I just can’t help myself. The other night Scott and I (and the kids) had just gotten back from visiting in N.Y. We stopped by the house site in Ohio before going to the apartment. (I will be SO glad when we finally move, I’m tired of that [...]

They Don’t Make ‘Em Like That Anymore

I just finished watching The Bishop’s Wife. The 1947 movie starring Cary Grant, Loretta Young, and David Niven.  It is one of my favorite Christmas movies, along with White Christmas and Holiday Inn.
Hollywood just doesn’t make good (as in timeless) movies anymore. Back then the men wore suits, the ladies wore pretty hats. Men treated [...]

One Day We’ll Wake Up and Nothing Will Be The Same

I recently read an article about the UN’s Childrens Rights Act provided by the Home School Legal Defense Association, of which I am a member. Since I am a reader, researcher, home schooler, parent, and all around curious person I did a little research of my own. What I learned is truly terrifying and should [...]

Exactly!!

I like to read Dennis Prager’s Column. I especially liked what he had to say today. This really sums up so much of what I feel. So instead of trying to put this all in my own words I hope that Mr. Prager won’t mind if I just allow you to read what he has [...]
