It’s Labor Day weekend, which means an extra day to enjoy family time together. So what do you do when you’re unemployed and can’t afford a weekend getaway? You find FREE fun around town! We took advantage of the FREE Home Depot Kids’ Club this Saturday. The kids have done these before, but it has… Continue reading More than a Carpenter

The Copy-meister
Most people, when they are preparing for a mission trip, spend a lot of time shopping for supplies for international travel. They shop for new clothes appropriate for the culture in which they’ll be traveling and the work they will be doing. They purchase snacks and little travel-size toiletries and certain creature comforts which may… Continue reading The Copy-meister
Clear as Mud
That last post was far too serious. Now for something a little more light-hearted. I’ve always loved the AFLAC ad with Yogi Berra. When I received this from one of my piano teacher friends, I knew I had to share it. Enjoy! “YOGI BERRA NOT EXPLAINING WHAT JAZZ ISN’T, OR SOMETHING” Interviewer: “Can you explain… Continue reading Clear as Mud
Birthday Shout-out
Well, another year has gone by, and since I embarrassed him publicly last year with the song about his age, I won’t go into how old he is. I’ll just simply offer this song, and say to my brother David, I hope you have the best birthday ever!

Men are from Mars, Women Make Sense
We women get teased a lot. About our habits, our quirks, all those unique things that make us…well, women. But let me tell you, we have great ideas. And if we were in charge of the world, there are some definite changes we could make to improve things. Like spruce up really dull and drabby… Continue reading Men are from Mars, Women Make Sense
The 444
Okay, so I admit, this will not be my most creative post. It will not be my finest hour in the blogosphere. This post will not represent the quality of content or style that many have come to expect from me. I’ve survived two days of full-time work…but I’m tired, my brain is tired, and… Continue reading The 444
I will CUT you…
As you probably know, I’ve been out of touch lately. Since Thursday, I’ve been holed up with 6 other women in a little house in Denton scrapping my life away. Four consecutive days of scrapping can make one a little stir crazy, so we decided to liven things up every once in awhile. And this… Continue reading I will CUT you…
Lucy Leadfoot: BUSTED!
Just because I have nothing creative to offer today, and because I thought this was funny…probably because it would happen to me… I was stopped for speeding the other day. I thought I could talk my way out of it until the policeman looked at my dog in the back seat… One sign you’re driving… Continue reading Lucy Leadfoot: BUSTED!
Book Review: Tree of Heaven
I was excited to read this book. The jacket flap kind of scared me a bit, thinking it might be harsh and gritty, but I found the opposite to be true. The story is set in 1938, during World War II, during the Japanese occupation of China. Our protagonists are a Japanese officer sent to… Continue reading Book Review: Tree of Heaven
Book Review: The Train To Estelline
Well, I finally made it out of the church library! No, seriously, I have enjoyed the last two books I’ve read from there, but now I’ve got a whole huge stack of books from the public library sitting by my bed. And somehow I’ve got to read at least a few of those as well.… Continue reading Book Review: The Train To Estelline
