Seven Odd and Interesting Things About Me

February 18, 2009 By 14 Comments

Traci (and Sylvia, too, I now see) tagged me to share seven odd and interesting things about me. I will try! 1) I abhor dangling prepositions. I will occasionally let one slip past my lips or in my writing, but I always know it’s there. 2) I have never been to Disneyland and do not [...]

The kids imagined and then created these mini debris huts. And my sweet Haniya took the pictures so we could share them with you. This debris hut has a porch roof. This one is supposed to be like a yurt. I think these huts are fantastic! We’ve had beautiful weather — its mildness brings out [...]

Miss Lydia (Sylvia‘s daughter) admired our crocheted earflap-neckflap hats. I’m a pushover for admiration, so I offered to make her one. She chose the color “Tulip” from KnitPicks.com Wool of the Andes. Lydia sent me this picture of herself today. I think she looks so adorable — see how the pink in her coat collar [...]
