Here’s an experience I’ll never forget from our years living in the deep south… We had just gotten a new kitten and she slept in a little bed next to ours. One night I woke up b/c she was just going NUTS! I looked over the edge of the bed and saw a dark creature [...]

Well, get your stress remedies out. Your going to need them. If you’re like me, it was August, and then I blinked and it suddenly was the week before Thanksgiving! How on earth does [...]

A year and a half ago, the Probst and Walker families buried five of their children after the car they were traveling in to school [...]

Froggy
My first grade teacher had a well-known fascination with frogs. If she had a nickle for every little froggy trinket a student gave her, she’d be living high on the hog in her retirement!

I Love a Parade!

Mad Scientists
One of my good friends and colleagues recently wrote a blog post about the word “Staycation”…defined as a vacation spent close to home. http://oshouldknow.com/2008/06/21/o-summer-staycation/ That got me thinking about a chat I had this last week with the Mom I referenced in that last post (the one who set up the movie on the front porch for [...]
