Spring is finally here. I know this not because of the flowers in the yard, but by the arrival of the garter snakes. Sure enough, Peter caught three beautiful garters yesterday. All the kids – except baby, of course, – held a snake. They were quite docile.
The snakes were, that is, the kids [...]

The Sunflower and a bizarre book by Macaulay Culkin
Posted in Fiction on March 26, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
I’ve been finished with the Culkin book for a few weeks now, but wanted to comment. Junior
is bizzare alright. More silly stream of conscienceness than a novel. I
found it in the novel section at the library (I’m so glad I didn’t pay
a penny for this book!) yet it lacks the structure of a novel. No [...]
And will she actually write something of interest today??

Ha. That’s the plan. I”ve been so darn busy. No computer time. Today I must glue myself to this chair for awhile to catch up with you all, wade through the email pile and… goof off. Love goofing off on the ‘puter.
Susan is doing much better – thanks to all your prayers and well-wishes for [...]
Back after illness
Posted in My small world, Reading List on March 22, 2006 | 2 Comments »
Not me. Eldest daughter, Susan, spent Sunday night into Tuesday of this week in the hospital with a super swollen knee and ankle. Looks like Lyme disease. She’s going to be fine, thank God we got it before it got any worse. I’m still a bit behind from spending two days away from home. I’ve [...]
The family landfill

My “office” is the dumping ground for all things that don’t have a proper home around here. A weight bench, stacks of music CDs, Susan’s drawings piled under the window, two area rugs lie in the middle of the floor. And that’s only a small sample of the junk in this spare room.So much stuff. [...]

It’s a conspiracy to get me to post a picture, I’m sure
Posted in Uncategorized on March 11, 2006 | 4 Comments »
While reading MommyLife blog, I made a startling discovery.
A picture of me! Except it’s not me. Barbara has the link to my blog, but that lady with the lonely sock is … I don’t know who she is, but it’s not the owner of this blog. What a scream.
I guess I better post a [...]
Rant on the supermarket bagger
Posted in My small world on March 10, 2006 | 3 Comments »
What is with people? Today in the supermarket I attempted to make conversation with an employee and was shot down faster you can ask “paper or plastic?” It’s enough to suck the cheerfulness out of anyone.
It’s a cast of three in this little drama – the cashier, the bagger and myself. The Bag Lady – [...]
The last of the waters
Posted in Fiction, Young Adult on March 9, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
Finished Many Waters yesterday. I liked it well enough though I don’t think I will read it again. I need to get to the library. Time for a grown-up, contempory fiction read.
More on Many Waters

I’m more than halfway done with the book. I’m enjoying it, it’s an easy read and entertaining. I had that “ah-ha” moment when I figured out where the twins had gone after they touched the computer. The novel is like a mini Old Testament history lesson. L’Engle has a few se*ual refrences that are not [...]
