A Study of Kitties

May 31st, 2008 · 3 Comments

Oh, you would have to see these little kitties, just beginning to stand up wobbly and then fall over onto each other into a big ball of fluffy fur!!

Then you would know why Princess of the Universe wants to name and keep all of them!!

I wonder what this one’s eyes will end up looking like.  […]

Filling Up A Day

May 30th, 2008 · 5 Comments

Whew, the day’s over!  The work day and the playtime afterwards!  I know it’s hard to imagine, but it takes discipline to make oneself sit for 8 hours in a chair in one’s home and type.  I mean there are so many other things that I could be doing, but I can’t.

Supporting Local Crafters

May 30th, 2008 · No Comments

I try really hard to support local crafters, so any time I see some beautiful crafty thing that has been made locally, I try to purchase one or more if it’s something I can reasonably afford.

I cannot tell you anything personally about the owner of Southern Essence, but I did want to support her business when […]

May 29th, 2008 · No Comments

I know I posted awhile back about Fluffy’s kittens, and I’ve even had some readers ask about them.  We knew that Fluffy moved them, and we felt like she was still nursing them — where ever they were, but we had no idea really about their safety or how many survived.  Well, today I was […]

A Good Rain

May 29th, 2008 · 2 Comments

A good rain does wonders for the garden.  Is there anything more simply wonderful than sleeping the night away with rain on a tin roof the background noise of our dreams, and then waking to a sunny garden, petals all covered in glistening drops?

I woke to such a garden this morning.  I love the garden as […]

Wife, Unfrumped

May 28th, 2008 · 3 Comments

nag.  verb  1) To annoy by continual scolding, faultfinding, complaining, urging, etc.  2) To keep troubling or worrying constantly.
You know, there’s nothing a husband hates to come home to more than a nagging wife.  I really think that’s true.  If a man works hard all day, puts all his pay into household and, especially if the […]

Konnichiwa!

May 27th, 2008 · 6 Comments

One of the things I love about homeschooling is the freedom to study what one is passionate about.  Do you know how attractive it is on a transcript for a student to have really excelled at one thing?  It’s attractive.  

Konnichiwa is hello in Japanese, by the way.  I’ll be hearing it more and more around […]

Close of Day

May 26th, 2008 · No Comments

I’m glad for today, but also glad the day has come to a close and it’s time for some sleep.

People keep on getting sick.  It’s doesn’t matter if it’s a holiday or not.  There are plenty of admission history and physical notes to type, even on a holiday.  People also want to go home to […]
