Wednesday, April 30th, 2008My little sister is getting married next weekend. She is the first of my sisters to marry. I want to be there but I am a thousand miles away and without means to travel to her.
Several weeks ago I spied several Bridal Shower items at a garage sale. There were invitations, balloons, […]
Mom, Do They Need Us?

(I don’t follow the news in general that closely nor the movements of the Pope specifically.) The first I heard about the ceremony was on the Rush Limbaugh radio show. I had […]
Origami Instructional Handouts
Monday, April 14th, 2008Last week I planned an Origami activity for Cub Scouts. I was unable to get an Origami expert to teach the boys so I spent several hours online looking and learning.
As a youth, I had “learned” Origami several times, some of them at church activities. I always enjoyed them and I loved the […]
