We’re hitting mid-October here, just about time for the Christmas decorations to start going up in the stores. If you’re interested in possibly sending some personalized Christmas cards out this year, you need to check out CardMyChristmas. It’s a new site, part-owned by a new friend of mine, Elizabeth, and she does beautiful [...]

Totally pathetic….

After over a week of hauling boxes and clothes and junk we almost have everything over here at the new place. Some pictures are hung, and lots of stuff has been thrown out or given to Kidney Foundation. It’s been nice to de-junk a little bit. I figure if we’ve been hauling [...]

Finally, after 2 years of relying on the kindness of my wonderful parents we are moving into an apartment. Mark has a full time job, and we are grateful to have found an affordable place that is very nice, and only a couple of miles from the house. It even has a pond in [...]

Check it out - I’ve been interviewed on a website called SheUnlimited. Try not to laugh.

This video is incredible. A young autistic man from the UK flies over Rome one time in a helicopter and then spends 3 days reproducing what he saw with amazing accuracy.

Thanks to Chase Jarvis for pointing me to this one. If you have some time, browse around on Chase’s blog. He’s a [...]

This weekend we went down to the Daniel Boone National Forest in Kentucky for a camping trip, and met up with Dad’s sister’s family from North Carolina. We had a really nice time and it was great to see everyone. It would have been a much nicer time had the weather been better. [...]

Via Casual Keystrokes, here’s a nice grocery list generator - just check the items you need and it will spit out a list!
Oscar the Cat Grim Reaper - this cat lives in a nursing home and has an uncanny knowledge of when patients are going to die. He has become so accurate that the staff [...]

I used to watch a lot of TV. Too much. After Jack, I managed to at least keep up with LOST, and then I gave up on that as well. I figured I would just catch up when I could check out the DVD from the library 3 years from now. [...]

When I see pictures like this, I am just awed by the brilliance of God’s creation:

These photographs came from a site called ColourLovers.com - you can see more pictures of beautiful birds in their original post.

Last weekend we went to visit Mark’s parents in Kentucky, and Jack got to go fishing with Daddy out at the pond. Mark bought a fishing pole for Jack before he was born and he finally got to use it! Well, he mostly got tangled in the short line, but he had fun anyway.
I [...]

This site cracks me up: cute pictures of pets with crazy captions.
Before you buy something, particularly online, check this site for a coupon. If you don’t find anything there, try just Googling the store name and “coupon”. I just ordered a bunch of pictures from Snapfish, and before I placed the order, I [...]

Have you ever watched Top Chef? I enjoy the show simply because I like to watch people who are experts at a craft compete. Since I am a person with extremely simple tastebuds, and eat everything plain, I am regularly amused at what “foodies” consider to be “haute cuisine”. Here’s a sampling of [...]

Did you know that if you become blind, that a dog is not your only option in animal assisted mobility? You could also choose to get a tiny, sneaker-wearing pony! I’m not making this up. Apparently, they wear the tiny sneakers to protect their hooves as they walk on the pavement. [...]

This last Sunday, our Bible Study group was responsible for doing the services two nursing homes that our church is involved with. We had to wake Jack up from a nap to make it to the first nursing home by 3pm so I could to play and sing, and Mark was to give the [...]
