Today is Luke’s last day home for the holidays. Tonight I’m cooking the dinner of his request. Tomorrow morning I drive him back to Dallas to catch his flight to Chicago O’Hare. In case you’re wondering, it’s cold in Chicago. Luke checked the weather a few days ago, and the wind chill was negative 20. […]

Between Christmas and New Years we went to Colorado for a week. Skiing, snowboarding, major mountain majesty. That was some awesome awesomeness, let me tell you. But one of the funnest things we did was go to a movie. Peter Pan. Now that was a great movie! It was delightful, well-cast, and the special effects

I need to update in a major way. But it’s not happening tonight, because I’m so sleepy! I’m about to scuffle on outta here and hail a taxi to dreamland. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll write a nice, newsy post about Thanksgiving in Florida, including Luke’s and my amazing Cirque du Soliel routine we made up using
Grace ran in from the playground and interrupted my conversation with several other ladies from the church. I looked down into her flushed, four-year-old face as she paused to catch her breath. “What’s the matter, Grace?” She blurted, “Mommy! Luke and Katelyn are kissing on the playground.” “Oh, really?

I know I do. It’s here somewhere . . . probably under the piles of junk mail and catalogs. Or maybe stuffed in the back of my closet. I’ll just have to hunt it down. Yeah. So, Luke is gone. He’s a college guy, acting all collegy and everything. I’ve decided the best thing is
My brain is a mite bit foggy, so please don’t hold me accountable for whatever you find in this entry. (Unless it’s really good!) We pulled into our driveway around 2:30 AM this morning, having left Chicago yesterday morning. We didn’t get a super-early start, because we thought we’d take two days to come home.
It’s like the sugar on the candy for my stuff. Read More »
Tomorrow morning we leave for family reunion in Virginia. On Monday, we’ll drive to Wheaton and deposit Luke along with his suitcases, boxes, computer, guitar, and miscellaneous stuff we’ve been packing the last few days. Then George, Jacob, and I will come home. But Luke will board a bus and depart with a group of

The Syzygy concert Friday was really great. A nice crowd showed up . . . maybe 25-30 people or more? I’m not good at guessing numbers. The coffee house has several rooms, and I only noticed the people that were in the area right around where the band set up. There may have been more

Syzygy concert tonight, July 25, at 8:00 PM. Magnolia Hall Coffee House. Marshall, Texas. If you read this before then, and want to come, it’s free. (Bring money for beverages, though.) Last concert before Luke goes off to college. Maybe last concert ever? Ryan and Luke will do an acoustic set first; then the band
