Double-Tongued Dictionary: A site to behold! You can find new words, slang, and jargon. The “About” page bills the site as one that “records undocumented or under-documented words…
Music Man Opening Night!
I haven’t written much about my son’s roles in the Music Man because I really don’t know much about what’s going on. What I do know is that I’m truly proud of my little “Winthrop” and my “Quartet singer.” Because of their experience (and talent) they are doing exceptional and getting all kinds of compliments,…
Oh, The Games We Play
Sometimes it’s hard to get motivated. I tend to get bogged down and overloaded with all the stuff I have to do, and then become paralyzed and unable to do any of it! I often have to play games with myself just to get moving in the right direction. I love the “Just for Today”…
Annie and Ramblings…
Grace is singing in the bathroom. “Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya tomorrow, you’re always a day away!!” We just returned from Annie the National Tour. Though it’s not Grace’s first play (she gets to see a lot because her brothers are performers) it was mine when I was little. I remember so clearly sitting in…
Stitched
For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10 NIV With great thought and vision, fabrics are selected.

Wordful Wednesday

by Guest Author Mike Dellosso Talk about interruptions. Hey, I’m a husband and a daddy to three little, very talkative, very active girls. I’m used to interruptions. But on March 17 (St. Patrick’s Day–I’m not Irish) I sat at work with my ear to the phone, thinking I’m only 35, I have a wife and…
You Know Life is Too Busy when You Forget ELMO!
Sheesh! This month has been filled with tickets to the circus, Annie, and Elmo. We made it to the first two, but maybe it was the drizzly weather yesterday. Or the fact that my husband worked nonstop around the house or that we just didn’t write it on the calendar (or maybe we did and…
