I have more memories, or should I say impressions, about second grade than any of the previous grades. Second grade was Mrs. Ginnan's class. She lived up the rode from us, and in the years following was one of my customers for eggs from my 4-H chicken project, along with several other fund-raisers and small … Continue reading Journey to a High School Reunion — Second Grade
New Water Mains, Burst Water Mains
Another photo essay today. Seems like after all the working on new water mains the past few months, we have a burst pipe of some sort up the street. It must have burst sometime Tuesday night, because when the water overflowed our driveway (more on that later), it froze and left ice on the driveway. … Continue reading New Water Mains, Burst Water Mains
State of the (dis)Union
Okay, disclaimer, I'm naturally skeptical of President Obama. If you don't want to read something skeptical about him and his State of the Union address, don't read any further.... President Obama gave his fifth State of the Union address Tuesday evening. A lot of commentary has and will be done on it. Much of it … Continue reading State of the (dis)Union
Merry Christmas from a few years back
Back in 2007 we took these pictures in our Christmas outfits that I brought back from my trip to India. Google Plus put them together in this fun little GIF.
We Love you Linda
Weather could postpone, but couldn't prevent, the outpouring of love from Avondale United Methodist Church to retiring organist Linda Prewitt. Linda, the church's organist for over 12 years, retired as of the end of December 2013. A reception in her honor had been planned for Jan. 5, 2014, but a winter snowstorm postponed it until … Continue reading We Love you Linda
“This situation is no longer normal”
That is exactly what I was told by the customer support supervisor I asked to speak to at Clear.com today. This after being without internet service for 30 hours, when we had been told the problem would be resolved in 2-24 hours. So I assume being without internet service for the 24 hours previous WAS … Continue reading “This situation is no longer normal”
(Un)Clear.com
At last, a day I can write about my activities for a blog. Oh, really, you mean it was that interesting? Yes, in the "may you live in interesting times" Chinese curse way. Friday was supposed to be a good catchup day. Worked late at work Thursday night to catch some key items up. Got … Continue reading (Un)Clear.com
First Paper — editorial perspective
Huzzah! I just finished and turned in the first draft of my first paper for my Master's Degree in Communications and Leadership. It is the draft of my Personal Philosophy of Communication paper. Before starting the course I didn't know I needed a philosophy of communication. Wasn't hard for me. I'm always having a philosophy … Continue reading First Paper — editorial perspective
Pictures of winter’s past….
Hey, supposed to be cold today, but no snow. Â If it is going to be cold, it is much more fun having snow. Â So I thought I'd share some pictures of yesteryear that include some fun in the snow. And no, I can't figure a way to turn the snowman around. Turn your computer monitor … Continue reading Pictures of winter’s past….
Overfed and undernourished
How many of you actually listen to your body when you are hungry? How many of you just eat whatever is closest, whatever tastes good, whatever you normally eat at that time of day? A lot of people think I am a bit weird when I say this, but I can usually tell what I … Continue reading Overfed and undernourished
