Personal Blather

In the “Little Theater,” on the campus of Harding University, Jimmy Allen told me to love Suzannah as Christ loved mankind. That means, he said with a tremble in his voice, you be ready to take a bullet for her. We pledged to love, honor, and cherish. Then, an acappella quartet sang […]

My problem is I know just enough about what I'm doing here to get myself in trouble. But, I finally unbroke the blog. Glad to be back. Pardon the dust while I finish customizing this new theme. In the meantime, gaze on this, the newest edition to the family.

I keep thinking either Mr. Ex or I will take the time to write something witty but it seems that other things keep coming up. We had a wonderful Christmas vacation with family. Then we came home and started rearranging the rooms of our house to accommodate a new arrival. Then we […]

I find this article interesting in a couple of different ways. A private school in Rhode Island has decided that talking will not be allowed in the cafeteria at lunchtime.

Hey everyone. Sorry we haven’t posted in such a long time. Mr. Ex has been busy at work & I’ve been busy homeschooling.

Mr. Ex gave his account of 9/11/01 last year. Here’s mine:

We overslept so I didn’t follow the usual routine of turning on the radio and listening over breakfast. Mr. Ex called me from the car on the way to work about the first plane. My first thought was “That must have been […]

We awoke this morning to the news that Steve Irwin, founder of Australia Zoo and television personality, has died. Our son has been a huge fan of the “Crocodile Hunter” for several years and one day hopes to go to Australia and to Australia Zoo.

What can you say about this exuberant man? […]

Now they’ve determined that real butter is better than margarine, dark chocolate is good for you and pure lard is better than vegetable oil. So it’s only a matter of time before I can enjoy McDonald’s & Krispy Kreme without any guilt?

Next January, food manufacturers will be required to list trans fat […]

WHAT?!

We went to church yesterday, ate lunch quickly before going to our son’s football game, then I came home and tried my hand at “Freezer Cooking.” I didn’t see, hear or read much news. This comes as a bit of a surprise:
