  • You scored as Emma Woodhouse. Emma is possibly one of the most loyal characters of Austen, always wanting better for those around her and doing all she possibly can to make it happen. Her motives sometimes get in…

  • It goes to the tune of "What Child is This?". I'm endeavoring to learn it, but I hadn't realized that there are eight verses! (Not counting chorus). I'm going to return to my old random posting....Every two days is eithe…

  • Over the past couple of days, I have been struggling with a formidable foe. I assembled a crack team of experts to assist me in defeating it. Steadily, slowly, I work toward defeating it, and appear to be gaining the upp…

  • Christie has swimmer's ear, confirmed by a doctor's appointment this morning. The poor kid isn't too happy about it, more especially as we went swimming at the Friches and she had to keep her head above water. Given the…

  • Melissa took Christie and I shopping for materials for sewing class. For our bags, I got a green cloth with a wavy pattern and hunter green cord. I like it a lot, although Sis wasn't so enthusiastic about the pattern. Oh…

  • "When you was a baby and you needed it, I spanked ya. When you was a toddler, I paddled ya! When you was a young 'un, I switched ya! And I can still do it, Pearl! 'Sides, the target's a heap bigger today." ~Granny, the B…

  • Girl Talk strikes again! The link, btw, is http://girltalk.blogs.com I'll post later today with some genuine news....If I can. June 09, 2006 Friday Funnies Being a mother of a small boy, this Friday Funny from o…

  • I have fallen into a definite pattern: I post only on even dates. In other words, I post every other day. I am therefore refraining from inundating my illustrious friends with petty and useless information. (Then again,…

  • Our sewing lesson (pupils consisting of Christie, Savannah, and moi.) went well. We learned the various types of thread, needles, and scissors. We were also told that next time we would make bags for what-ever purpose. N…

  • Church went well. Joe called, today being Doolie Day Out. I'm in Book Two of my book, enjoying it immensely. I'm missing my story terribly, as we don't have the monitor. I had an idea for a funny part to add to my story,…

  • Something happened to Mama's computer (she defined the problem as the memory.) so we are reduced to her laptop, which blinks unpleasantly at us. It resents us. I have an earnest question: How does one gracefully deflec…

  • Tim's been up on the roof these past few days, making sure it doesn't leak. It looks as if it would be kind of neat to climb up there, but Daddy made some objections about me joining Tim. Oh well. Christie and I made o…

  • It's rather fun trying to figure out what will happen to the captain next. I finally relented and let him reach the harbor, where his loyal first mate awaits with a piece of shocking news. Lady Elaine (the lady whom they…

  • The men's meeting met at our house, so Christie made choc. chip cookies and sugar cookies. I made two mocha pies and a gallon of lemonade. Then we kept the kids quiet for the rest of the evening. Captain Russell escape…

  • Christie and Michelle made pancakes from scratch today. Yum! It turns out that Daddy had the days mixed up. He thought Friday was Saturday, and I am to babysit on Saturday (today) from four-thirty to ten-thirty. Okay....…

  • I am returned from babysitting the Frich kids....boy, do I do a lot of that! I also learned that I am to babysit tomorrow for a Mrs. Pam Kramer. She has two boys, age ten and seven, named Jacob and Jesse. She's going to …

  • As most of y'all know, I like to write stories. As most of y'all probably don't know, the inspiration for these stories came chiefly from games I play with Christie. The trouble is, she isn't too fond of the idea. So we …

  • The Kirks have been and gone, and as Mr. Gene predicted, I had barely any time to post. The fact that our merry-go-round was set up yesterday might have something to do with it. Or when we were setting off home-made rock…
