Merry Christmas!

I am coming in a little late with my Merry Christmas, but technically, it is still the Christmas season. If my husband had any sense of romance, I would be receiving 5 gold rings today. That is OK. I have my camera. I am having a little trouble with it. I am beginning to think the [...]

Almost December

I hope that everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. We did. I ate entirely too much food which, I suppose, is the whole point of Thanksgiving. Well, unless you want to be thankful and remember all of God’s goodness which, I agree, is the main point of Thanksgiving.
Anyway, however you want to view Thanksgiving I still [...]

A plug for my hubby

Do you watch college football? I don’t, but my husband does.  A lot.
He has been ranking the college football teams for awhile now using his own mathematical system. I don’t get it much. I think he got tired of sharing it with his less than enthusiastic wife, so he started blogging about it. If you [...]

Letter from the Superintendent

We went to my parents’ house for a visit today. Yesterday was my dad’s birthday. Happy Birthday, Dad! He is now old enough to get a discount on the ferry. It is hard to beat that.
My dad showed a sensitive side when he brought down two bags. The bags were full of school work of mine and [...]

First day of school

Today is the first day of school for everyone. Freckle Face is heading off to our Christian Day School and the other two are hanging with me at home.
I will let you know how it goes….

My birthday

I celebrated my birthday the other day. I am now 37 years old. I know that is not “old” by any stretch of the imagination, but I am struggling with it a little bit.  I was fine until I was talking to a young sailor the other day. He had been born in the year [...]

In other news

How about some bullet blogging? Nothing much exciting happening. I go through my daily life thinking. Oh, I should really blog about that, but then I sit down at my computer and can’t remember what it was I was going to say. Hmm..
Anyway.

Freckle Face has new orthotics. Fancy schmancy expensive orthotics. He doesn’t like them [...]

The Redwoods.

Our final destination was the Redw0od forest. I can not remember the last time I was rendered speechless, but I was speechless. My pictures do not do the amazing trees justice. They were awe inspiring. I just wanted to plop myself down in the middle of the woods and stare at them.

I am looking through [...]

Devil’s Churn

You know, we find the best places when we just pull off to the side of the road. This is Devil’s Churn. The conversation in the car went like this.
“Oh, here is a sign. It might be cool.”
“Do you want to pull off?”
“Yeah, let’s pull off.”
“Ok.”
This place was awesome. It was low tide. The [...]

The Slugbug Game

Oh, the good ole slugbug game. We played it as kids. I don’t remember slugging my brother or sister over it, but I could be wrong. My kids have started playing the game, and with the advent of the new Beetle, it has become much easier to play.
I don’t like the slugging. For one, my [...]
