also going on…
…this past weekend was my son’s Shakespeare troupe’s production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. He played Bottom, though of course as his mother I considered him the top. All the actors did well, buoyed by amazing costumes, makeup, and lighting. They’re done with performances now…a bittersweet thought. I can’t wait for the video and bonus … Continue reading

interesting times they are achanging
It was Lazarus Saturday. Standing in the area adjoining the Nave, the incense smell reminded me of shops we used to stop at on summer vacation, traveling down the coast to California in Aunt Janie and Uncle Larry’s brown, paneled station wagon. We kids would surge into souvenir places in the towns near our campgrounds, … Continue reading

that’s my grandma
Not often does an item on Paul Harvey News make me gasp, but on this morning’s program Paul, Jr. mentioned a scientific study that “proves” there’s a Marilyn Monroe Hormone. I said, “Grandma Edna must have been infused with that.” The reported effects of having larger amounts of oestradoil include “elevated confidence and a greater … Continue reading

knotty me
Into the new year we schlump. Or at least I’ve felt a bit off-kilter, my neck unable to twist side to side without pain shooting down my shoulder and arm. I couldn’t type enough to blog a post. I thought it would get better. It got worse. So yesterday I visited our friendly neighborhood chiropractor … Continue reading

ducky dilemma
I have a decision of some import to make. Or perhaps I don’t really have to decide, and most likely this is not important at all. But please don’t tell any football fans I said so. What’s up is a college game this next weekend. My nephew plays in the marching band at the school, … Continue reading

crumb bum!
Working over the weekend on my Europe pictures, while munching salty bits from the bottom of a chip bag, I remembered expletives my mom employed during my formative years. “Oh, piffle!” she’d say if she couldn’t find her keys. A minister’s wife must refrain, of course, from words irrespective of wholesomeness. A real person, as … Continue reading

oopses
I’m working in Word at the moment (7:00 am), a better place for me, probably, than the Internet. Victoria has let me use her laptop in the dining room so I can start on word processes earlier in the day. She doesn’t sleep late, really; we’re just operating on different internal clocks. Anyway, while Victoria … Continue reading

a live circle
I’ve got three essays I’m working to rework. I’d like to make them more appealing; I’d like to find them good homes. Three people share the house with me. At least for now my daughter is home and filling our rooms with artistic ideals. I engage gladly in conversations where ideas flow like rivers and … Continue reading
