• Look into our window

    My, our, daughter turned 7-years-old the end of November. We homeschool. I believe the foundation for learning begins with learning to love God, and to love family, and to particularly love learning (natural to some, not to others) … I believe it right to light their fires for learning whether it’s easier or harder, for…

  • A few new music and other things

    I ordered a couple of things from B&N the other week, one thing arrived a few days ago, the other thing is supposed to arrive on Monday — 2 days from now I will have it, if all goes well. First thing is a Cinderella DVD — not the story, the band, their Videos from…

  • Dreary Gray Days

    The sky is dreary today. I have sat in front of the fireplace (with it trying to roar) and kept warm enough most all day, too warm at times so much that I fall asleep there. Which in the end just makes me cranky, I don’t take naps too well 😉 I just don’t feel…

  • Christmas Cards and

    December has come. I’m trying to make room in the house for a Christmas Tree, not sure what type as of yet. I have to get decorations for it, so the less costliest thing is best. Big cut tree costs less than a growing live little tree. But little tree takes smaller decorations, little cut…

  • Which Narnia Character am I

    via Tamara … You are…Edmund. Thoughtful and philosophical, youhave made mistakes in the past but havestraightened things out and are now where youneed to be. You are content to be a wisecounsellor, rather than a great leader, thoughyou can be either if you must. Which Chronicles of Narnia character are you? brought to you by…

  • Christmas Season

    It’s post-Thanksgiving in the U.S. and that means it’s Full-Blown-Christmas-In-Your-Face-Marketing-Time-Season. Long lines of cars on the roads to the shopping areas. The stores all decked out. Some have been for a month or more already … :veryshocking: I am not into commercial shopping for Christmas like most … I’m not totally out of it, in…

  • Thanksgiving Night Movie: Zathura

    We got through Thanksgiving Day meal alright, but I was exhausted. I rested a bit, wanted to go to sleep but didn’t. Then we decided to go out and see a movie if we could find one we wanted to see. We’d thought about Yours, Mine & Ours since hearing it was coming out as…

  • Thanksgiving Meal Prep Poem

    Turkey’s roasting in a fast (425 degrees) oven Extra stuffing’s in the fridge Fireplace is burning, a red glow Green Bean casserole below turkey, wedged in. Bad rhyming. Goes with a busy morning. It’s all true, so it’s good rhyming, in my book 🙂

  • Failure to roast

    I didn’t get my turkey’s roasted today. 🙁 I woke up with a migraine and struggled just getting a couple of pumpkin pies made this morning, and the migraine hung in there getting worse mid-day, so I ended up laying down for awhile, after the pies were out of the oven already for a bit.…

  • Some Thankgiving Feast Prep

    Yesterday I blanched the green beans in prep for the green bean casserole for our Thanksgiving Day Meal. I use some gourmet-ish type that Costco is selling now, fresh, trimmed, cleaned, packed in a bag they say “can be microwaved as is to cook the beens”. Not my style, not possible anyhow, as we don’t…
