We have been asked by Sue to sing at her wedding. My husband was thinking we should sing “I can’t drive 55” for her husband, since he seems to have a need for speed. That got us thinking about other songs you should NOT sing at a wedding. Below is our list – thanks to…

Can we stop threatening Iran and the rest of the world with “preemptive war” until we get our troops back home from the last 2? I fear we may have more than just political fallout if we continue this type of foreign policy.

Busy Being Me
I have debated what I should do (if anything) with my blog. I said so much the last time I was out here, that the thought of starting again is a little daunting. My musings made for interesting reading, but at the end of it all I emptied myself so completely online there was nothing…

Our neighbor gave us some eggplant from her garden a couple of days ago. I have never had eggplant, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. This is what we got. Our neighbor told me to cut it into thick slices and dip it in egg and then dip it into a breadcrumb/flour coating. Then…

Today went pretty well. I was pleased with the kid’s attitudes and mine. We did math, science, geography and grammar today. I am not doing spelling, vocabulary, Spanish or music this week, I think we will ease into those. (Plus the fact that I don’t know if I can teach Spanish!) Besides, I had to…

First Day of School
I promised pictures of our school/piano room. I went counter-clockwise around the room. Here they are: This is Beth’s desk/table. The stairs from the kitchen are on the right, although you can’t see them. Another view of Beth’s desk and the bookcases. The trays on top are for the kids work. The bookcases. One for…
