To Love a Mockingbird: Places in the Heart, Part III

http://nancysresearch.blogspot.com/2010/09/places-in-heart-part-iii.html

To Love a Mockingbird. Tuesday, September 7, 2010. Places in the Heart, Part III. Life is Just a Picnic, after all. Once there, we jumped and whooped and hollered in the waves as often as we wished all day long, ate sandwiches (with an emphasis on sand), and potato salad that was made with Miracle Whip and probably shouldn’t have been eaten after hours in the car, but never made us sick.

To Love a Mockingbird: Awards Night

http://nancysresearch.blogspot.com/2010/03/awards-night.html

To Love a Mockingbird. Thursday, March 11, 2010. So, in response to this creeping inferiority complex, calling upon the wisdom of generations of "bright-side-lookers" before me, I’ve decided to play the glad game! I've come up with a list of accomplishments I feel good about.that I'm "glad about" to use the original Pollyanna's words. Instead of a pity party, I'm having my very own Oscar Night. Accomplishments In the Field of Athletics. Director's note: cue "Chariots of Fire"). Be like I had written one&...

To Love a Mockingbird. Thursday, October 7, 2010. The mome nance and the jabbamaus. Twas brillig in the dundee toves. Did maus and gimbel in the wabe. All munched were the cheerios. And the mome nance outraged. Beware the jabbermaus my lass. The jaws that nibble the ears that twitch. Beware the wheaties gnash. And shun the fruminuous fruitloopsnitch. She took her vorpal trap with glee. Long time the maussome foe she sought. So rested she by the yumyum tree. And stood awhile in thought.

To Love a Mockingbird: December 2010

http://nancysresearch.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html

To Love a Mockingbird. Tuesday, December 14, 2010. Moving about in time and space….magically. One of the things I enjoy most about the Harry Potter books is J.K. Rowling’s inventive use of language: her ability to coin a word whose meaning is easily grasped, even though we’ve never heard it before. Usually, her invented words have Latin roots which give us a good clue to their meanings; sometimes she cleverly combines small, common English words to create a new idea.

To Love a Mockingbird: March 2010

http://nancysresearch.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

To Love a Mockingbird. Sunday, March 28, 2010. Places in the Heart: one. This first one is a recent acquisition… a place my then-new husband Ralph introduced me to in the fall or 2005, and where we camped for the first time in the spring of 2007. Located in the Olympic National Forest, Staircase campground got its name from a gentle, sloping progression of rocks in the Skokomish River. And there are other wonders to discover. A very short hike will take you to the site of a giant cedar tree—one...I've co...

To Love a Mockingbird: Places in the Heart: two

http://nancysresearch.blogspot.com/2010/06/places-in-heart-two.html

To Love a Mockingbird. Tuesday, June 15, 2010. Places in the Heart: two. We started this day as we do almost every day, weather permitting: sitting on our deck, sharing coffee and newspapers…and so much more. The two of us, along with our dog, Dutch, always expect to be met by troupes of entertaining visitors before long. Click on images to enlarge). But this was not. The first time I saw it, in November, 1986, this back yard wasn. After a few years, when I moved to an administrative position, I wanted t...

To Love a Mockingbird: Red Balloons

http://nancysresearch.blogspot.com/2011/10/red-balloons_19.html

To Love a Mockingbird. Wednesday, October 19, 2011. Because it is so familiar, I rarely pay it much attention, beyond that description. But now and then, something like a mound of fresh flowers, a burial being held in the rain, or the way the late-afternoon sun highlights the stones will catch my eye, and when this happens, it stirs feelings within me that are difficult to define. How many other birthdays or anniversaries have been marked this way, over the years? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
