Life…

Time flies when you’re having fun… or at least when you’re busy.  If people ask me what we’ve been up to, my mind stalls and I go, “uhhhh…. not much..” And yet, somehow, we’re always occupied. I used to think that a year was a long time, but I’ve been married for 9 years now, and [...]

But I am down here in their room right now supervising cleanup. My principle [...]

Wisdom from the Past

Side Benefits

Thanks to home schooling I now have a partial song listing all of the U.S. Presidents, and a Greek alphabet song rattling around in my head driving me crazy! At least now I should be able to navigate towns organized around the names of [...]
