We stayed in Bellingham Friday morning, because Curtis’ parents were watching his brother’s children, and Curtis wanted to spend some time with them before we left. It was another beautiful day. Perfect for lounging in the sun. At least, the Sunbathing Sparrow thought so. We took the kids to a park. This is Nash. This […]

Here are a few photos from our adventure last night: The sign outside Molly Moon’s Ice Cream in Wallingford. Molly Moon’s introduced a new flavor, Bumberberry, in honor of the Bumbershoot Festival which will take place Labor Day weekend. (Bob Dylan is headlining this year!) Fremont Abbey Arts Center asked Curtis and Grace to busk in front of the shop last

After more than a month’s absence from this journal, I’m sure the question on everybody’s mind is, “What did you have for dinner?” Well, since you’re asking, I’ll tell you. As a matter of fact, it really was quite a satisfying meal for several reasons. First of all, George is in Africa with Luke right

I got in trouble again last night. This time I didn’t inoculate any chicken. I was an aider and abettor. An unwitting accomplice to escapees. Before I go any further, I must say there are many perks to life with a science guy. Especially one who loves to work with plants. Every morning I’m greeted

Today I took my camera to Kroger to photograph some fruit and vegetables for Thursday’s Master’s Artist post. I wasn’t sure what kind of reaction I would get from employees, but the produce manager said he was honored. I can see why. His department is a work of art. I’ve written about my love affair
This week is “date week” at The Master’s Artist. Each day all the blog contributors answer a new question, and everyone else is encouraged to enter the conversation by answering the same question in the comments. (Or making fun of, er, I mean *discussing* our answers.) It’s like a mass personals ad. Sort of. Or

A couple of weeks ago I wrote a guest review of a cool downtown Marshall eatery for Brad Whittington’s “Eating Fred Texas” blog. He posted it Dec. 30. You can read it here. After you wipe the drool off your chin, leave a comment and let me know when to expect you.
Today while I was making my lunch I realized a red bell pepper that is perfectly ripe and unmarred is not only sweet, crisp, and tasty, it’s a work of art. With it’s bright-colored skin and jaunty green stem cocked to the side, it’s like a nutritious, delicious bit of Christmas. “And that’s all I

Wow! Where do I begin? As Inigo Montoya so eloquently put it, “Let me ‘splain. No. Is too much. Let me sum up.” Highlights of our trip: We arrived in Seattle Monday the 20th and that evening took Grace and Curtis to dinner at Agua Verde, a cool Mexican restaurant where we joined Daniel and

I’ve read the book of Romans many times, but I don’t remember noticing that name amidst Paul’s greetings before today. Philologus. It’s pretty much the reverse of logophile (word lover), so I’m guessing it means “word of love” or something to that effect. (We do have some Greek reference books around here, but I’m too
