I’ve been tagged by More Than Stone, a blogger I very much enjoy! So, here’s my stab at some answers while I get the kids ready for church: 1) What’s the most fun work you’ve ever done, and why? The most fun job I ever had was working as a coffee roaster for Storyhouse Coffee… Continue reading Oh, the games we play…

Oops…
You have heard it said: always make sure you are wearing clean underwear in case you get in a car accident and you are taken to the hospital (I have also added to make sure you keep your apartment clean in case the L.A.P.D. needs to ascertain whether your home is a crime scene).

The sky, the trees, air that you don’t see… There is a particular feature that lends much… Continue reading The city of bridges

Sweet dreams

You know you’re nerdy when…
Last night when I came to bed, Doug was reading a book that discussed the Sermon on the Mount. We started talking about the Beatitudes, and I made some comment about how I used to be able to recite them in Greek. Of course, immediately after saying that I was rendered completely incapable of remembering… Continue reading You know you’re nerdy when…

It would seem that Mercy has met her match… Meet my Goddaughter, Karenna.
