This was my day…

Date July 27, 2008

I’m revising my posting schedule to bring you a brief summary of my day. It will be of interest to my sisters if no one else. However, the people who have been reading my blog have become acquainted, in a sense, with my mother. Most of this will be about her resting place.
My Sunday was [...]

Randy Pausch and My New Perspective

Date July 25, 2008

This week had its ups and downs and, at one point, I unloaded on DD and merm. They sympathized and empathized and assured me they are proud of me. I’d gotten over my pity party and was going to tell all about it tonight but then I heard that Randy Pausch had lost his battle [...]

The Raw Vegan: Part XLI, Skating on Ice and Beyond

Date July 22, 2008

DD was thrilled. I decided to take a break from school and let her play to her heart’s content. She was bundled up from head to toe and went outside. I wasn’t quite so brave. She always wanted me to see what she was doing which is why I was in the greenhouse watching her. [...]

My Square Foot Garden Update 2

Date July 20, 2008

I’ve been watering my little garden every day to keep it green and growing. The people I work with who have conventional gardens either have to water or let their gardens burn to a crisp. We haven’t had a good rain for weeks. There’s been a smattering here and there but it’s getting scary dry [...]

Christmas in July

Date July 19, 2008

I was planning to make this part of last night’s post and forgot it. Just in case the people who have visited since might be interested, I decided to make it separate.
When we were living in Nebraska, one of my favorite stores was the Christian book store. I think it was The Shepherd’s or something [...]

Sayonara to the Produce Man

Date July 18, 2008

until October. I went by today to get one of his most excellent cantaloupes. They were out and down to a very small selection of other produce. Imagine my dismay when I was greeted with the news that today would be their last day for THREE MONTHS give or take. I’d gotten a couple of [...]

The Raw Vegan: Part XL, Homeschooling

Date July 15, 2008

Homeschooling. It sounds very Mother Earth-like. Actually, it is. The first teacher most children have is the mother whether she realizes it or not. My mother would describe children as “sponges” ready to soak up whatever was around them. I like to think of them as little tape recorders—maybe these days they’d be MP3 players [...]

Raw Vegan Recipe: Macadamia Nut Cheese

Date July 13, 2008

This is aka Mac Cheese for short. My friend and faithful forum member, Shari, had her recipe posted on another site several years ago. Then, one of the members posted it on the forum right here. Shari said she’d take pictures to illustrate the steps but I’ve gotten a round tuit before she did. She [...]

It’s Friday again and I’m so glad.

Date July 11, 2008

This is a week’s worth of time I’ll never get back. I didn’t make notes. I didn’t have time and I wasn’t so inclined anyway.
To say it’s been horrendous would be the understatement of the year. I just thought I had stress before.
I’m getting ahead of myself. Sunday, I managed to get some sun. [...]

The Raw Vegan: Part XXXIX, A Lifetime Investment

Date July 8, 2008

One day, DH came home brimming with excitement. He didn’t like living in the cramped little house any more than I did and he’d been asking around. One of the tips sounded very interesting and he came to get DD and me to go check it out. We piled into the Peugeot and, with directions [...]
