Good Shelf Image: May 2012
http://goodshelfimage.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, 17 May 2012. Of bees and wild things. Maurice Sendak died on 8 May, and since then it seems you can't go far on the internet without running into something about him or Where the Wild Things Are. I've never been that much of a Sendak person ( Wild Things. Wasn't part of my childhood library), but all this talk of him has reminded me of a book that was, albeit briefly, part of my childhood and has stuck in my mind ever since. The Bee-Man of Orn. But apparently Stockton was known for writing unus...

Friday, 6 July 2012. For a while now my hubby and I have been talking about making a "volcano cake". A friend of ours made the suggestion when we were discussing what we wanted for our wedding cake, and while it was obviously* not an option for the wedding, we decided to give it a try anyway. We started with a rather elaborate plan, involving a lot of cake-carving and icing glue. Here it is, stuck up on our fridge. Note the lightbulb and cable; also the bride and groom caketopper. How can we tell them ap...

Walking the Water Way: Chapter 4: Packing Matters
http://walkingthewaterway.blogspot.com/2011/10/packing-matters.html
Walking the Water Way. Together seeking to listen and follow the way of Jesus Christ in our daily lives. Wednesday, October 5, 2011. Chapter 4: Packing Matters. This is the continued story from my journal of the walk from D.C. to Pittsburgh, learning the gospel of John by heart. Here I am still in the preparation phase. It is April, 2008. God, I am almost packed and as ready as I can be to walk. There is a stir of expectancy in me. I think I see the fringes of what might lie ahead,. I will try to be open.

Good Shelf Image: Battlefield Cape Town
http://goodshelfimage.blogspot.com/2012/08/battlefield-cape-town.html
Thursday, 9 August 2012. Last Saturday my husband and I accompanied my parents on a tour of the Muizenberg battlefield. Better yet, get Mr Taylor to give you a tour - he's a great storyteller. It's an interesting story, though, and it's pity more people don't know about that part of Cape Town's history. It is situated on the mountain side of Main Road, between Muizenberg and St James stations. You'll see this sign next to a small parking lot:. First view of the lower level past the trees:. In the foregro...

Good Shelf Image: A special morning
http://goodshelfimage.blogspot.com/2012/05/this-morning-was-very-special.html
Sunday, 6 May 2012. This morning was very special. My husband and I woke at about 6am - still dark in wintery Cape Town - to the sounds of an owl outside our window. We listened for a few moments and then J got up and peered through the curtains. It's right here on the garage roof! I clambered out of bed and looked, and there it was. A big dark shape on the roof. My husband went off to fetch his new telescope but before he returned the owl had flown off. On top of the pine tree! J did see an impressive s...

Walking the Water Way: Chapter 3; Walking Prayer
http://walkingthewaterway.blogspot.com/2011/09/chapter-3-walking-prayer.html
Walking the Water Way. Together seeking to listen and follow the way of Jesus Christ in our daily lives. Monday, September 26, 2011. Chapter 3; Walking Prayer. The continued story from my journal of the walk from D.C. to Pittsburgh, learning the gospel of John by heart. Here I am still in the preparation phase. It is October 2007. When I tell people about the coming walk, they frequently express concern. Are you walking alone? I chide myself; how could I be so forgetful and unprepared? The beloved discip...

Walking the Water Way: Chapter 2: Moving In
http://walkingthewaterway.blogspot.com/2011/09/chapter-2-moving-in.html
Walking the Water Way. Together seeking to listen and follow the way of Jesus Christ in our daily lives. Tuesday, September 20, 2011. Chapter 2: Moving In. This is from my journal, written in 2007 as I was preparing for the "pilgrimage" of walking from Washington, D.C. to Pittsburgh while learning the gospel of John by heart. The language sounds stiff to me now, and all those masculine pronouns fit strangely like borrowed clothes! Why did I choose this task of learning John? But the Word in. Love Wins: A...
