Look Under Things: January 2013

Lee Ann Setzer musing on plants, books, kids, and other growing things. Wednesday, January 30, 2013. I called my grandma on her birthday. “A lot of people have been coming to see me today,” she said. “I guess they all want to look at someone who’s 103.”. Grandma’s partly right—making it to 103 is an accomplishment, no matter what shape you’re in when you get there. But my grandma got there with class and style. My kids regularly exclaim, “Great-grandma is cool. In Grandma’s case, cool. Grandma’s ma...

Look Under Things: April 2011

Lee Ann Setzer musing on plants, books, kids, and other growing things. Saturday, April 2, 2011. Okay, be honest. Before March 11, did you know there was a Japanese city called Sendai? Me neither, up until 23 years ago, when I received an invitation from my church to learn Japanese, then live and work as a missionary in that area for 18 months. I spent two weeks after the disaster shouting at the computer: “ Which. Where, where, where. Everyone got the day off on the vernal and autumnal equinoxes. We...

Lee Ann Setzer musing on plants, books, kids, and other growing things. Friday, October 28, 2011. An icky word for Halloween. Random Research led us this week into the realm of sleepy sand—that grainy stuff in your eyes when you wake up in the morning, whatever your family calls it. Its real name is. Anyway, gound is composed of mucus, tears, and/or dust, and it forms because you're not blinking those things away when you're asleep. Family's word for gound? Links to this post. Good names for rock bands.

Lee Ann Setzer musing on plants, books, kids, and other growing things. Tuesday, December 13, 2011. Our recent entrtainment choices have ranged from. Sublime: "Joyful Noise," a play about George Frederick Handel writing "The Messiah". There was a lot of yelling in "Joyful Noise," about artistic choice, and shameful past choices, and which soprano stole whose parts, and whether stage actresses. Should sing in entertainment establishments. This show was apparently Jason Segel's brainchild. I encourage ...

Look Under Things: Amish Friendship Math
http://lookunderthings.blogspot.com/2014/01/amish-friendship-math.html
Lee Ann Setzer musing on plants, books, kids, and other growing things. Monday, January 13, 2014. Ever gotten a start for Amish friendship bread? Disclaimer: Wikipedia says "There is no reason to think that the bread has any connection to the Amish people." The Amish are much wiser than this. And I can’t imagine them using Jell-O pudding mix as an ingredient in anything.). It sounds so innocent and…friendly. But friendship bread is really a terrifying exercise in exponential growth. 33,544, 432 bags.

She was entranced one day by the words “imagine” and “magic”—it seemed logical to both of us that those ought to be related. But when we got home and looked it up, we found that:. 8226; “Magic” comes, via French, Latin, and Greek, from magus. An ancient Zoroastrian philosopher (think “three Magi”). Meaning “great.”. So, if for some reason you say. Links to this post.

Lee Ann Setzer musing on plants, books, kids, and other growing things. Tuesday, January 6, 2015. Yeah, it’s January 6. Most people have broken. Their New Year’s resolutions by now, and I haven’t made mine yet. You think that’s bad, you should see the bright, shiny Christmas tree in the living room. One year, we did get ambitious. My husband and I made a firm resolve to get up and go walking every single day at 6 am, without fail! Not drinking too much. Regular exercise at the gym (3 days a week). 8226; ...
