Today is a "ta-da" kind of day for me. You know, when you look at yourself in the mirror, squint a certain way, hide part of you behind the door, and dim the lights and you think ..... "hmmm ... I am on FIRE!!!" (more…

The Prairie Couch.

For years I set up my little couch out in the cow pasture and counseled the gophers and the wheat. Later came the cows and an occasional Hutterite that would wander past ... and of course my brother who would beg for me to help him but sadly I had to turn him down on account of it would not be professional for me to counsel…

Tea Cups.

It used to be when you got married you were given all these tea cups because evidently these were once considered an essential weapon in the new brides aresenal. Much more than a toaster or an iron judging I only got 3 toasters and 2 irons, compared to 9 tea cups. (more…

Needlepoint.

Hush Skins Grace.

 

I always thought that parents who named their kids Grace were just trying to big note their kids. You know how everyone says at dinnertime .... "Who will say Grace?" And I imagined some girl sitting their with ringlets and a big bow ala…

The War on Terror.

I worked somewhere that was haunted once. I am not going to say where it was because it is ... seriously haunted .... and it is still in operation and I doubt anyone wants a bunch of people showing up demanding to see the ghosts ... (except maybe the ghosts ...) (more h…

Families Without Borders.

My oldest daughter has been bitten by the genealogy bug and is heavy into tracking down the family lines. She has had to be really creative and diligent and has dug up some real gems.

I was most interested to note that on her father's side (he passed away)she has discovered a family with a history that is worthy of admiration. …

How to Tell Whether You Have Been Kidnapped by Choir Zombies.

Ever since I found out about the Zombies, I have lived in fear. I think it is only natural that I am particularly concerned that I may have been kidnapped, against my will, and forced to be in a choir, against my will, and that I don't even know it happened because it was against my will ... meaning I WILL not know it happened. (See…

Everything is Better with Bling.

I pay attention to the things the "experts" tell you and what they show on television. I mean just because you live in beansville is no reason you can't have a rich and glamourous life. They tell us that we should live glamourous lives and add "bling" to everything. (more…

Mothers.

I remember the first time I heard the story of the mother in an impoverished country who cut off her child's arm.

Mother's Day and Other Fairy Stories.

Love Love Love days where we step back into childhood and suspend our disbelief and play make believe games where everyone is in on the pretence ... well except maybe for Hallmark. I think those people have to be in some denial to be able to do what they do ....with a straight face .... (more …
