Portuguese Chorico with Rice and Miscellania

September 27, 2007 – 8:26 pm

You know, the one advantage to being sick for seven weeks (I counted) is that I tend to get a lot of work done on my websites. Yesterday I spent the day working on my big Gymboree News (GNGC) site conversion that I’ve been putting off since…. February. Today I spent the day working on [...]

Family Snapshot

September 23, 2007 – 7:37 pm

What is our family doing right now at this very moment??
Anika: Singing Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire” on the karaoke machine in the garage.
Faith: Wandering around house with empty bowl of ice cream and a cookie (no doubt depositing drips of ice cream wherever she goes as well).
Georgie: Claims he hasn’t been getting enough sleep [...]

Grasshopper Girl

September 12, 2007 – 11:10 am

A couple weeks ago our church put on its annual Oktoberfest at the farm of one of our members. Since I was on the couch, which now bears a permanent impression of my bum, Hubby took all the kids to go hang out with friends, grandparents (who all go to our church), and various other [...]

And What Gift Can I Bring?

September 5, 2007 – 8:52 pm

Tonight my wonderful children decided to put on a play. They do this occasionally, most often at Christmas time when they feel an urgent need to perform the Nutcracker every day for a month. Since they are now old enough to have figured out that this, alas, is nowhere near Christmas time, they needed a [...]
