Spring Fashions

I don’t keep up with fashion much these days, so I appreciate Fussy’s “what not to wear” posts. I was about to order this little number until I read her comments about why we shouldn’t be wearing white pants.

Seriously though, what’s NOT wrong with this outfit! Unless a woman has no hips at all, wouldn’t [...]

Medical Outreach in Ethiopia

This is a letter from a friend of mine who is in Ethiopia on a medical outreach trip. Anytime we are tempted to feel sorry for ourselves, just imagine raising our children in a place like this.
Dear Friends and Family,
This is a slightly longer update, so hope you don’t mind.
“Do not fear little flock, for [...]

Indoor Salad Bar Garden

Last fall, instead of pulling up this lipstick pepper plant, I decided to put it in a pot. I kept it on the south-facing porch until frost, then brought it inside. The peppers that were already on it continued to grow a little once inside. I picked all four of them when they turned reddish [...]

Unfinished Projects

Regardless of our failures, regardless of our age, we can still soar to higher heights. Just think [...]

Bats in Our Belfry

Well, I think it is probably a bird, and we don’t have a belfry. But still. Yesterday afternoon, I heard some thrashing about in or around our chimney. We have one of those prefab, metal fireplace things. It is built into a corner of our great room. Since it is [...]

What does your name mean?

I found a link to this name thing on Valarie’s blog. She said it was kinda scary because it is so accurate. I gave it a try, and she is right…scary. I also tried it using my first and middle name, and I was even more amazed.
There are a few points I would argue…I don’t [...]

Fight the Frizzies While Saving the Planet

If, like me, you were born with hair that has a tendency to look like this charming family on the right or this (scroll down to the second photo,) you’ve probably subjected your hair to all sorts of torture over the years such as extreme heat and various toxic chemicals. I remember saving soup cans [...]
