  • Rain, on and off for most of the afternoon....the sun would shine brightly, the heavy clouds obscure the sky. But we still got to play outside some. We're getting ready to leave, and the Kirks are coming over with dinner…
  • Well, I received an e-mail from Laura today, which was nice. Mama bought us some strawberries, and the kiddos made a mess, which was not-so-nice. Oh well, c'est la vie. They are now in bed. Christie is sitting beside me,…
  • The Scarlet Pimpernel is one of my top heroes, a perfect combination of fop and daringly humorous ingenuity. Guess what I'm reading? We had the Kirks over to dinner again....Whee! We went to hear Peter and the Wolf, nar…
  • The Kirks are here for dinner....which means that Jacob and Christie are trying to get me to come outside and play....keeping a weather eye out for the polar bears of course. Molly made the funniest mistake earlier. She …
  • Warning! For all who have conceived an antipathy to ramblings, this post is going to meander everywhere....and nowhere. There are times when I think I'm inaudible and incomprehensible. There are times when I wish I w…
  • Having finished Beau Sabreur, I am now reading the last of the Beau trilogy. They're very exciting, and often take interesting turns, I rank P.C. Wren with Tolkien and Lewis. High praise indeed! (As far as I'm concerned,…
  • I've about memorized 'Waltzing Matilda' now. A funny thing is, I've learned two songs from Tim, and both were about people drowning! (WM, and 'Clemintine') Speaking of which, Joe is a nut, (a crazy nut) a lunatic, and a …
  • http://www.imagesaustralia.com/waltzingmatilda.htm I found this neat site while Googling the lyrics. Poke around, and you'll find all these fascinating things! (Yes, Tim, that's how I memorize stuff!)
  • We're planting flowers today! The boys are Rototilling, which is why I'm here instead of there! Christie and Molly have been singing "Angel of Music", both with the Phantom, and Meg. Molly is anybody who happens to sing …
  • Well, we're back in Slidell! We drove down so that Mama could meet the floor-guy, but we arrived to a message that he couldn't make it. Six-and-a-half hours in the car, and he has to cancel! But at least we're back in t…
  • I have found, during the past two days, two books that looked very interesting, and was not allowed to read them because of the language! The first was The Bourne Identity and the second was Lieut. Hornblower. Oh well, w…
  • This is delightful~~~~ and very true, every bit of it! ----- Original Message ----- Subject: Mothers Someone said............ Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get…
  • Melissa and Timothy have departed, leaving us desolate. I took the WHICH PHANTOM OF THE OPERA CHARACTER ARE YOU? test, and was, of all people, Raoul! Pretty cool, except I'm a girl! We drove around NO after dropping Tim …
  • I finished my second story. Now all I have to do is rewrite it! (For those of you who don't understand that joke, I have included a couple of quotes. I'm not sure who first said them, but they're funny!) "I am a horrib…
  • A funny thing happened a little bit earlier...The kid's computer had frozen on us, the screen completely black. I could move the mouse, but I couldn't turn it off, couldn't log off, nothing. I didn't want to unplug it, a…
  • We burned leaves today. Christie and Molly also burned Cone of Bark (Joan of Arc) for treeson...*groan*! I also saw a rabbit in the woods! Well, nothing else to post...TTFN!
  • Our first church service went very well. Afterward, we had a potluck, and we kids played freeze-tag. I met Rachel Hidenthall (I think that's how you spell it!) and I liked her a lot! Well, can't really think of anything …
  • Conversation between Joseph R. and and self yesterday (We were teasing Christie, but she didn't hear this) Me: you're as crazy as Christie! Joe: No, not that crazy. Maybe almost as crazy as you though. Me: I am…
  • The Kirks are here, I am on level 13-6 of our stupid computer game, Melissa and Tim will be here in approximately an hour and fifteen minutes, my story's going well, I got a request for a copy of the story that I already…
