Archie 1

Archie

I never read a lot of comic books when I was younger, but I do remember Mad Magazine and Archie Comics. (This is so funny, because not too long ago, I just taught Cameron the “Sugar Sugar” song!) Seems Archie will FINALLY propose! According to the article, he chose Veronica...

Who Cares About the Truth?

From the book, I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist: He said, “I don’t believe the Bible. But if it’s true, then I’ll be in big trouble.” We sometimes ask our students,  “What’s the greatest problem in America today? Is it ignorance or is it apathy?” One time...

Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits WHY do we have deficitsHave you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and...

Chocolate Eclair Squares

I like cookies, but I often like them to be very plain, like Vanilla Wafers. Mom recently brought home some Vanilla Wafers, and I spotted what looked to be a delicious and easy recipe on the side of the box: Chocolate Eclair Squares. Dismissing plain cookies for a while, Laura...

Blue angels 2

Blue Angels!

Each year the Blue Angels come to Annapolis. The first time I saw them was unexpected and almost scary! |A few times back now, it’s just a thrill to see what it is they can do. This was my first time though with my new Canon camera using the 70-300mm...

Replacement Lamp

Last year about this time, through an interesting set of events, (Laura calls it from heaven), we received a Panasonic high-definition big screen TV. We were excited to watch it, only to find after some detective work, it wasn’t operating correctly due to a broken lamp. I phoned Panasonic, and...

Philtrum 1

Philtrum

The Philtrum I heard it said once, and soon forgot, and later wondered like crazy what it was called. Just what IS that space called, that verticle groove between the nose and one’s upper lip? In spite of checking anatomy books and other places, I could never find it. Turns...

Myrna and Barb 1

Surprise Birthday Greeting

Birthdays are especially neat when you get greetings and good wishes from friends. Myrna really made my day when I got her email with updates on her life and a brief walk down memory lane. She found and then scanned an old photo of us, taken on one of our...

Sunday Humor

The Pastor told a joke in church yesterday. He modified it slightly, but I found the original on the net: THE BOTTLE OF WINE For all of us women who are married, were married, wish you were married, or wish you weren’t married, this is something to smile about the...

Broom Hockey 0

Broom Hockey

In case you don’t know what broom hockey is, let me explain. You take the church’s parking lot, empty it of all cars, form an oval with chairs, add two goals on either end, and invite the young people to bring their brooms, add a little orange ball, and you...

Kinder Park Spring 3

Spring at Kinder Park

Well it’s been on and on raining here in Maryland for ages, and yesterday the rain stopped and the sun came out for a time. I had a day playing taxi driver (and not an easy task as the driver door won’t open) to Miquel and Laura, but still managed...

Robin 0

Robin Update

Well overnight, the robins seemed to make a nest that wouldn’t slide off. So, this morning I woke up to one keeping watch… …the other sitting on the nest without sliding off. I sure hope it stays.  

Cameron 1

A Day at the Park with Cameron

A child in the house is such a joy, and once a week we get to enjoy Cammy. He is like the center of the universe each Wednesday. It has rained every day for the last….forever. It continues to rain as I blog this. However, this morning it was only...

Rockin’ Robin 0

Rockin’ Robin

I don’t know what it is with the Robins in our yard. They pick the most weird places to make a nest. Last year, they chose our porch light, and basically out of politeness to them, they basically re-routed the way we entered and exited our own house! This year,...

Butterfly Dream

No kidding, last night I dreamed I was in a garden with giant butterflies. Many of them. They weren’t scary to me, even though their size as as large as the treetops, they were beautiful, with their details and markings even more vivid at this size. The frustration in the...

priorities 0

Priorities

Priorities I found out is a big subject. “Nehemiah met the challenge with the priority of prayer.” Ravi Zacharias But there are more quotations on this subject of priorities… “Action expresses priorities” Mahatma Gandhi “Success is only another form of failure if we forget what our priorities should be.” Harry...

his banner 1

His Banner

I am writing this post and suddenly I can’t stop singing a childhood song, “His Banner Over Me is Love” Anyway, adding to my portfolio of graphics work, I was asked to create a banner for the church’s mission’s conference, 3 feet by 5. This was a scary idea to...

New Lens 0

New Lens

In yet ANOTHER early birthday present, my mom gave me a new camera lens. It wasn’t expensive, so I was dubious about its quality. After doing some research and hearing some testimonies, I felt it would be a good lens for portraits. I have already been thinking about adding portraits...
