Fixing Anna’s DS
Princess Anna, who is 5, is helping Grandpa … who is trying to fix her DS. Anna talks non stop … doesn’t even pause to breathe! Anna: I’ll help you. I know how to do it. Can I help? What are you doing? Is that one mine? Do you know what you’re doing? I don’t [...]
God’s Gifts
Tonight, alone in the quiet dark, I watched the movie, Copying Beethoven. It brought me to tears more than once as I listened to his beautiful creations and thought how it must have been for him to have this gift from God in his head and because of his deafness never actually hear it through [...]
Running Away From Home
When we were raising our children, Ivins was considered very small town even though it was deemed a city. There was a lot of empty land around us that was full of volcanic rock, red dirt, desert brush and cottontail rabbits. At night you could hear the coyotes yipping and it wasn’t unusual to have [...]
Dre.e.e.e.eam, Dream, Dream, Dream …
For the most part I love dreams. I love having them and I love hearing about other people’s dreams … for the most part. There are some dreams that stress me so much that I wake up exhausted. I hate the kind of dreams where everything is crazy and wild and jumbled and makes no [...]
Well … better late than never …
I should have put this link in my earlier post but I just thought to look up the prices of food in the 1960′s. You can see the price of foods for each decade after 1920 and will probably find yourself (like I did) spending more than a few minutes at this site. The prices [...]

Dog Reasoning
I don’t usually forward emails even when they are clever and I really like them, but this one I have to share. The dog’s have some questions about their human … er … canine rights. The original email had darling animated pictures but you don’t get to see those. I wish I could give credit [...]

Home For Christmas
You probably can’t see the house very well through the snow … the icicles are fake, by the way. It’s cold here, but not that cold … well it’s that cold at night this week but we still don’t have real icicles. The kids are ecstatic to have snow here in the desert. I [...]
Mourn With Me …
Two hard drives died and it makes me very sad. You may have noticed the lack of pictures as I’ve talked about the good old days and Christmas traditions. That is because the pictures were on the hard drives that crashed. The old snap shots can be re-scanned but the scanner is down too. I [...]
