To say nothing of the dogs: February 2009
http://tosaynothingofthedogs.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 22, 2009. We're about to leave Chowchilla, California. We picked up "Our Destiny" on Friday and have been getting to know her ever since. We're meeting Karin, Mike and Corey in Eugene tonight. I'll write again soon! Links to this post. Sunday, February 15, 2009. We bought an RV on eBay! We won the right to spend thousands of dollars on this 1997 RV. We need to go to Phoenix to pick it up . . . but such a deal. Links to this post. I don't know what to call that particular piece of furnitu...

To say nothing of the dogs: December 2008
http://tosaynothingofthedogs.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 31, 2008. What a wacky couple of weeks it's been. First, it snows. Then it snows a lot more. We STILL have some piles of it in the 'hood. Snow meant some short days at work, because I didn't want to be stuck in the dark trying to get home. I've never seen roads like this. Until now, anywhere I've been that gets a foot of snow that lasts a week also has snowplows. I've also had two short weeks at work. Three days last week and three days this week. We also took a spectacular vacation i...

To say nothing of the dogs: Mail.
http://tosaynothingofthedogs.blogspot.com/2009/09/mail.html
Tuesday, September 29, 2009. Mail has been my life and my livelihood since . . . who can count that high. Today I scared myself by turning in the wackiest change-of-address ever. Last year, when we started this Mexico experiment, I had a heck of a time adding our names to the "Do Not Mail" list. I don't know if I've publicly confessed this before. It felt really disloyal and wrong. Instead of sorting your mail over the recycle bin, you do it online. September 29, 2009 at 2:46 PM. I NEED A WHAT? The patie...

To say nothing of the dogs: Still here.
http://tosaynothingofthedogs.blogspot.com/2009/10/still-here.html
Thursday, October 1, 2009. Just couldn't get it all done in order to leave this morning. In fact, we're still not completely there - but we will be by about 9:00 am tomorrow. So . . . a day late and a peso short, I guess. Home parked by our current. Home That makes moving stuff a little bit easier. These last few days, we've had all of these omigosh! Moments. Omigosh, I have to cancel Comcast! Will we still have the same email address? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). To say nothing of the dogs. Re-re...

I NEED A WHAT? A Comfort's Food for Thought. Decently and in Order. January 9, 2015. I have spent the last 16 months trying to get organized. I am constantly losing my keys, my cell phone, important papers . . . my car (in the Walmart parking lot). Ted was a man of routine. He kept me on track. Now I’m on my own, and my inadequacy is quite evident. Is order a virtue in the sense that lack of it is a sin? This may seem a strange question. Am I suggesting it is a sin to lose my keys? The answer: The fourth...

I NEED A WHAT? A Comfort's Food for Thought. This summer I read a book titled. Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking. By Susan Cain. As an introvert myself, but, ironically, one who can’t stop talking, I found the title intriguing. A trend in education today is to. So what is the answer? Should we stop using group learning techniques? Email will not be published. Re-reading an American Classic. 8:28 pm , February 26 , 2015. Decently and in Order. 7:51 pm , February 26 , 2015.

I NEED A WHAT? A Comfort's Food for Thought. Our friends last night felt they were taking a risk asking us to speak about death. It is not a topic people are comfortable discussing! Ted is a man of great discipline. His regularity in doing his exercise routines and in other areas of life is also true in his prayer and Bible reading schedule. He has read the Bible through many times, including this year. His trust in the goodness of God through all experiences of life has helped him in this ti...Well, emo...

I NEED A WHAT? A Comfort's Food for Thought. The Edification of Man. I doubt whether we are sufficiently attentive to the importance of elementary text-books, begins one of my favorite books by C. S. Lewis. As an English teacher, I am conscious of the importance of the books I and my students read, and this awareness leads me to re-read. The Abolition of Man. Lewis, C. S. The Abolition of Man. New York: The Macmillan Company, 1970. What do you say when someone dies? I said. She gave the name of her c...

To say nothing of the dogs: March 2009
http://tosaynothingofthedogs.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 31, 2009. Masters of our Destiny. Well, that wasn't so hard. We had our first lesson today. Our last lesson is tomorrow. Frank, our instructor, was sweet. We both did well. I'm glad to have had the opportunity to learn to brake and make turns in a controlled environment - and after that I drove through some windy hill country on a two-lane road, through a small town (only driving over one curb - oops! And on the freeway. Links to this post. Sunday, March 29, 2009. We started out yesterday ...
