Springtime! It’s here! Oh, ignore all that mud and rain and frigid nighttime temperatures- there’s green out there! While shopping yesterday, the daughter and I spotted a plethora of limousines in town. It seems that every year, as soon as the snow is gone, everybody races out of their winter-weary homes to get married or […]

Flood Buddy
April 29, 2011
Look what we discovered crawling around our yard after the flood. It was a nice surprise. Today’s local news stories are loaded with stories about the yesterday’s flooding. Some folks even found a fish in their yard. I guess the 9 inches of rain we’ve received for the month of April was too much for […]

Comments Off on Very Cool Shopping Decision Website!
This is one cool website! It’s called Pikimal.com. Strange name, I know. I have no idea where they got that name. But I love the idea behind the websites. It’s a “shopping decision” website. When you search for a product on Pikimal, you can sort, filter, set preferences and get reviews on the best product […]

Clean up. *groan* :brudder: Of course, this all may just be a blessing in disguise…. we needed to clean out the basement, anyway! *maniacal laughter* Well, thank God the […]

My beloved spoke, and said to me: “Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth; the time of singing has come, And the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. “The fig tree […]
Stylish Blogger Award
April 25, 2011
A whole bunch of bloggers passed on a sweet award to me… some did MONTHS ago. :blink: I tell you, I am horribly tardy with these things. I have to be in a “mood” to do them, because they require listing random facts about me. I wish random facts came to me more easily… which […]

Happy Resurrection Day! Even after 2,000 years, Jesus the Messiah is still greatly loved… and greatly scorned. “I know men and I tell you that Jesus Christ is no mere man. Between Him and every other person in the world there is no possible term of comparison. Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I have founded empires. […]

Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I'm a freelance writer for national media outlets like USAToday.com, Salon.com, and others. I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.
