To ‘discuss’ Santa… fa la la la la la la la!
Just kidding.
Though I am thinking that it’s time for a revised and updated treatise on the jolly old elf. It’s been on my mind, but I’ll save that for later.
It’s getting chilly here in good ol’ Tennessee. The yard is covered in leaves – and [...]

Apparently I took the summer off.
It was not an intended vacation… and several times I came and stared at the screen thinking of things to write – but alas, nothing came out. There are tons of pictures – but none of them got posted. Lots of silly, crafty, happy & sad things happened (like summer [...]

I found this picture on my camera…
Lady, I swear… I have not done anything bad yet this morning!
Can I have a cookie?

The boy couldn’t pull himself together yesterday.
His father happened to be home from work to witness the lack of focus.
After several hours of discussion that boiled down to the fact that: I don’t have [...]

I just spent about an hour re-reading old posts from a long forgotten blog. I’d gone looking for some long-lost poem I’d written for jme… I wanted to find it and re-gift it to him for Valentines Day.
Reading the stories of my life over the past 5 years was rather cathartic. Loads of drama. A [...]

The past few months have been a whirlwind ’round these parts. Due to the digi-cam being killed by my cat from hell, there haven’t been pictures… I did dig out the 35mm camera (a rather nice one, at that) and dust it off. Hopefully I’ll get those pic developed before the kids graduate from college!
This [...]

I haven’t written in a while. I got a little scared off and a lot pissed off.
See, it seems that my blog was referenced in court a few months ago by someone who’s got an ax to grind with me. Seems’ that I’m too lax of an educator… all because of one post about the [...]

We spent two weeks with family this summer… it was great! It was a whirlwind tour of Washington D.C. , Busch Gardens, Jamestown & Williamsburg. There is so much I could say, but I’ll just let our pictures speak for themselves…

This has been a week chock-full… even when all we were doing was lounging around!
Emily turned 7 on Wednesday… complete w/ swimming and American Girl movie fun.
Last night we had friends over for sweets and slip&sliding and sparkler fun.
And since I forgot to mention it… jme bought me a label-maker – I am in organizational [...]

Dad left yesterday… he came an built a swing set for the kids. While he was here there was a ton a yard-work done, bikes repaired, and odds and ends that have been passed over that were finally completed. There’s still work to do, but we got a great head start on the [...]
