Our Talents
I don’t remember how the conversation started, but somehow, I ended up telling Sarah that Uncle Michael is a tinker. Of course, she asked me why, and I responded by saying, “I don’t know why that’s his talent, but Uncle … Continue reading

“Not Yours To Give” – Davy Crockett
This video, which is actually just audio, lasts almost 20 minutes, so be ready to commit a bit of time to listening to it. (If you’d rather read the text version, go here: http://www.lovetolearnplace.com/History/NotYoursToGive.html) It gives excellent reasoning as to … Continue reading

Durable Goods vs. Non-Durable Goods
As I was giving the kids a bath tonight, Sarah suddenly asked what happened to all of the bubbles. I told her they went away as she and Pucci were playing in the bathtub. Of course, that answer was not … Continue reading

They’re not Black or White, Just RED all over…

Why I Avoid Wal-Mart
And of course, being so keen on customer service, the Wal-Mart associate quickly replied that it would NOT be possible to do that as she called someone over to help her void the transaction.
I think there are just some places that I am not meant to visit. Continue reading
Sleep Long and Prosper
After an adequate amount of sleep, rising in the morning isn’t completely unpleasant. In fact, it wasn’t bad at all–it felt kind of good. Continue reading
Snake Talk
It was adorable. And amazing. I mean, this 2 1/2 year old girl will lovingly pet a python five times, but she won’t even take one bite of a piece of lettuce at dinner. I don’t get it, but I’m proud of her. Continue reading
Genius!
Thankfully, in this household, it is almost always used positively to exclaim admiration for an idea we marvel at. Most of these ideas probably do not come from Mensa members. In fact, I’m pretty sure most of them come from Average Joes and Janes who either a) have a good deal of common sense, b) have a lot of knowledge and experience in a certain, specialized area, or c) are too lazy to go about doing things the conventional way and sometimes get lucky.

Writing as a Habit
In fact, I’ve even signed up for the June Challenge to write 750 words
everyday for the month. So, if I miss even one day, I’ll end up on the Wall of Shame. On the other hand, if I’m
successful in this endeavor, my name will go on the Wall of Amazingness. Continue reading
My Purpose in Life
Unfortunately, I’m under the impression that I HATE writing. I suppose it’s because I’ve never really written just for fun. When I think about writing, I think about having an assignment to finish by a certain date, and writing in a style that will earn a good grade from whichever teacher I’m writing for. Continue reading
