My sister Kristin tells a funny story about a woman she used to work with who didn’t know the difference between “incognito” and “incommunicado”. When somebody was out of the office and couldn’t be reached, she’d say they were incognito.
I am trying to switch cell phones, and in the process I have [...]

Bill got to go to Cotillion with Shannon last week for the father/daughter dances. Next year, I get to go, too…since Will will be in Cotillion. He can’t wait.

Here’s what was on our Valentine’s Day menu:
For breakfast, Lemon-Ginger Scones.
For elevenses, Blackberry Crunch Bars.
You gotta be thinking to yourself, “Why aren’t those people much fatter than they are?” Well, we do eat the occasional salad, I just don’t take pictures.

I used the word “purport” last Friday in a blog post. Today, she used the word “purportedly” TWICE in her post. Coincidence? Hmmm.

I don’t take pictures of people anymore. Only food. Here’s what Shannon made for Will’s birthday, today!

I made kolaches yesterday. It was rather time-consuming – I told [...]
Sushi!

We made sushi last night. It was our first time trying this at home, and we were moderately successful! We didn’t do any raw fish because we’ve been told that you have to buy special sushi-quality fish at a fishmonger 30 miles away. Hmm, that’s not likely to happen.
We made up some [...]
If you are reading this, I prayed for you last night.

I was awake for a few hours during the night. I blame the rain, but sometimes God wakes me up to pray. I wrestle with it…”No, God, I am NOT going to pray right now, I’m going to sleep.” But really there’s no arguing with Him.

We needed a loveseat, so went to Ikea a couple of weeks ago. What an amazing store. You can buy a loveseat AND a package of frozen Swedish meatballs in the same transaction! (When I thought about that later, it didn’t seem quite as amazing, because I realized you can do the [...]
