Last night I got a call from my sister, to the effect that her father (my stepfather) had been admitted to the local hospital. Apparently he’d fallen at home and wasn’t able to get up. Since he’s been admitted, they’ve run a battery of tests, all of which have come back normal. I should note [...]

The Winnie-the-Pooh Personality Test
Posted in Uncategorized on March 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This test has very special meaning for my family: Our Chris used to love Winnie the Pooh when he was a little guy. I will never forget taking him and his sister to an Episcopal church one afternoon; I had no idea why, particularly, but dh had read somewhere about a showing of Winnie the [...]
Irish Lent

Ah, I finally thought of a “good one” to post. A day late and a dollar short, as usual, but oh well. I usually send this out the first week in Lent, but I seem to have put it somewhere inaccessible, so I will post it here.

OK. One day, a man moves [...]
The Non-Post

As in, not a darn thing is happening, I’m just checking in.
The church job is going well so far — just consists of the Sunday bulletin and the monthly newsletter, so far. Once Lent is over, I expect things will pick up.
Not too much on my needlework. That’s the big downside to this [...]
Making a Holy Noise (the heck with “Joyful”)
Posted in Music, Orthodox Christianity on March 9, 2008 | 4 Comments »
Since “making a joyful noise unto the Lord” is usually the excuse given for truly dreadful church music, I’ve changed it to “making a holy noise.” If you’re going to “sing unto the Lord,” it had better be holy. Beautiful is even better. Cacophony is OUT.
This post is occasioned by Fearless Leader’s comments over on [...]

When I first started my internet life, back around October of 2000, I had just been “fired” from a volunteer position. How do you fire a volunteer? You tell her to stop showing up. You don’t give her any of the work she used to do. And you make it very, very clear that you [...]
Oh, One More T’ing…

…as Columbo used to say. I forgot that I wanted to post a photo of my Stitch Bows, so you could see that I have the symbol for each color on the Stitch Bow — that way, I don’t have to refer constantly to the color key, which really would drive me crazy.

Well! I guess this meets with pretty universal approval! Thanks for the feedback, ladies!
Let’s see… Elizabeth, Father Costin is — well, I’m sitting here shaking my head, with a big smile on my face, because he just telephoned me and said he felt well enough to come in to work today, and could I meet [...]

Oh, I like this so much better. I log on, and the first thing I see is that beautiful wallpaper up top.
Yesterday’s snowstorm dropped another ten inches on what was already there, and no end in sight. Well, we’re supposed to get rain on Tuesday, but then another snowstorm on Friday. And I was really [...]
