Monday, July 28th, 2008First off: I did not write this little list. When I was in the Navy, this was one of those things that floated around the ship for who knows how long. The copy I saw was set on a typewriter and photocopied (poorly) so many times it was barely readable. In order to preserve its [...]
A Little Quick Space Filler
Tuesday, July 8th, 2008I kind of broke our laptop last night replacing the fan. I got it put back together, it ran for a little while, then locked up. Now it’s not fully booting up at all, giving me the “unmountable boot volume” error. I repeated the disassembly and reassembly 2 or 3 times until about 3 am [...]
Happy 4th of July, Schoolhouse Rock Style
Friday, July 4th, 2008To celebrate the birthday of our country, the United States of America, here’s a history lesson, a look back on what brought us to where we are today. If you’re a child of the 70’s or 80’s you should be familiar with Schoolhouse rock, a perfect source to recount our nation’s rise to power and how we try to maintain it.
Father’s Day Videos
Monday, June 16th, 2008I had planned on writing about the various father figures in my life, both literal and figurative, but maybe some other time. When I work it out to not have it about me, then I’ll share.
My real father hasn’t been a huge influence in who I’ve become, but I love him and respect his gifts to [...]
Happy 6th of June
Friday, June 6th, 2008Come with me back in time, to the 70’s. Don’t worry, we won’t stay long. When I was a little girl in the 70’s my parents had an 8-track (yeah, remember those?) for CW McCall.
For years my brothers, sisters, and I played it over and over. Because of those years the song “Convoy” is permanently [...]
Tribute to the True Green Lantern
Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008When I was seven, I was totally into Batman. That was because reruns of the 60’s TV show played every afternoon. (My sister and I actually had to take turns on that time slot-The Partridge Family was on another channel.) I had daydreams about the batcave, batmobile, and sliding down that cool firehouse pole.
The following [...]
Nacho Typical Talent Show
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008This last Sunday morning, for services we went to the same church we were at the week before, Faith Bible Church. I think we’ll try out going to the same church at least twice before making a judgment because they may have had a bad day (or a particularly good day) on our first visit. [...]
Jane Austen Collection on PBS
Monday, April 7th, 2008The Jane Austen series on PBS Masterpiece ended last night. Our family had such fun time dedicating our Sunday nights to the show. We thought we’d offer a tribute. Thank you, PBS and the BBC…
Women of Faith: 2008
Friday, March 28th, 2008Tomorrow I am going to Omaha, with a group of friends from our church, to a Women of Faith two day conference. It will take place Friday evening, and all day Saturday. This will be my third Women of Faith. Several of the women going have already gone with my two other times. A few [...]
It’s Friday but Sunday is Coming
Friday, March 21st, 2008Resurrection Sunday (or Easter) is just a few days away.
Something from my youth about Easter is the tradition of the basket filled with jelly beans, circus peanuts (ugh), robin’s eggs, Peeps, chocolate bunnies (almost always the traditional Palmer brand), and toys (coloring books, crayons, or just one big “main” toy), all on a bed of [...]
