Thoughts on Parenting, Middle Age, Grand Parenting, and the Orthodox Faith. Saturday, January 7, 2012. Stepping Back in Time. I wondered if any documentaries had been done on the Victorian Christmas and went to one of my favorite websites: Top Documentary Films. And did a search. What do you know? The BBC actually did have one - The Victorian Farm Christmas. Done in 2009 which is a part of a longer series entitled The Victorian Farm. Here's a synopsis of the series:. After watching the first one, I was h...

There's an expression that I somehow missed as I was growing up, and now I find myself using it to encourage others who feel a bit inadequate in the way they handled or approached a given situation: "You did (or have done) the best that you knew how.". It's an expression that I need to say to myself more frequently. Tuesday, December 27, 2011. Initially, when I was considering and reading about the O...

Thoughts on Parenting, Middle Age, Grand Parenting, and the Orthodox Faith. Saturday, June 18, 2011. She was in the bathroom, putting on her makeup under the watchful eyes of her young granddaughter. After she applied her lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, "But, Gramma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye! She will probably never put lipstick on again without thinking about kissing the toilet paper good-bye. I mentally polished my halo and I said, "No, how are we alike? When my ...

Two Harvests: A Special Gift
http://twoharvests.blogspot.com/2010/11/special-gift.html
Thoughts on Parenting, Middle Age, Grand Parenting, and the Orthodox Faith. Saturday, November 6, 2010. It never gets old. It never ceases to amaze me. The birth of a new child. And then.in one day, that child emerges from a watery world into one filled only with air.and he BREATHES, and he hears, and he feels, he sees, and he eats. What a miracle to behold! What a reminder that we are "fearfully and wonderfully made". Welcome, little Matthew! For you created my inmost being;. Your works are wonderful,.
