Two weekends ago we went to the Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Conyers, GA.
It was very quiet, I’ll just let my pictures tell the story…

So quickly the year has passed and it’s already time for another “Heather with ashes on her forehead” picture.
Every year at Lent I try really hard to think of what I should fast from. Traditionally, folks do meat… or some other foodie thing they should consume less of. Since I’m already a vegetarian, and started [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Emily tagged me… so I’ll oblige, but I won’t tag anyone else. I will however challenge your readers to do your own and post a comment here if you do!
1. What did you do 10 years ago?
In July of 1998 I was in Birobidzhan, Far East Russia as a missionary. While there I [...]

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 [...]

I didn’t have allergies ’till I moved to Chattanooga. Ugh.
*sniff*
This past week was a blur…
The garden is ready to be planted (tomorrow, hopefully!)
I learned that my friend Ken is incredibly wise in animal identification.
I got fillings in my teeth (it hurt a lot) and now ice cream hurts (this is going to be a serious [...]

We broke ground in the garden today… or should I say, my neighbor broke ground for us with his mammoth tiller. He saw the girls and I out there building a bean tepee and offered to help us out. Our little garden is now nearly 4 times what it was last year, and he’s gonna [...]

The advent of the blog is a big thing in my world… I am an avid reader and people watcher – and blogs are the perfect way to fill both those desires! Some of my favorite blogs contain pictures of living spaces of the bloggers. How I love looking at each tiny detail [...]

It is strange to think that my first baby is already 8 years old…
We had a Chinese themed party.
Don’t let the ninja catch you!
