17 Kids and Counting and the Tater Tot Casserole: Updated
Friday, December 19, 2008
Lying in bed last night, eyes wide as
saucers, I gave up on sleep and went to the kitchen for a cup of
tea. Flipping through the cable channels (yes, my life is dominated
by media) I came across "The Duggars: 17 Kids and Counting" on TLC.
I am strangely fascinated by this family...
Update: "The ultimate Christmas gift from God," said Jim Bob. Well, it's "18 Kids and Counting" now...

Dictionary for Dads
Tuesday, September 30, 2008
I've written before about getting
ready to take our little bundle home from the hospital and Husband
jokingly asking the nurse for the owner's manual. Ha-ha. We all

I glanced over after Husband snorted
while watching TV. He was watching one of those Proposition ads
that have been so ubiquitous the past few months. The ad had been

Life is Random and You Can Too
Friday, September 05, 2008
I recognize the name of an actress
(who was popular back when I was paying attention to such things),
and names I don't recognize but find out (by Googling them) that
one is Tiger Woods' wife, some town’s soon-to-be ex-mayor, and a
sports guy or two... Read More...
Fossil Hunters
Monday, August 04, 2008

In upper 90s weather, with full sun, no shade in sight, we grab pieces of rock and break them open with our little hammers looking for anything interesting. I sat there and hummed "Breaking rocks in the hot sun, I fought the law and the law won..." Read More...
Getting Happy
Thursday, July 24, 2008
The little tyke sitting in front of us
performed gravity-defying mid-air somersaults. He did not have a
trampoline, but was propelled by sheer youthful exuberance. It was,
um, "fun" to see how close he could get without actually crashing
into us... Read More...

Happy Father's Day
Sunday, June 15, 2008
When I think back to my own dad, the
overriding feeling I get is his love for us (and we weren't always
the most loveable group, let me tell you). My dad was colorful, a
real character. I have vivid memories of him mowing the front lawn
in this get-up: Cowboy boots with black socks, green and blue
bermuda shorts, sleeveless T, and cowboy hat... Read More...

Monday, April 28, 2008
Over the weekend, Charlie and I braved
the heat and traffic to make the scene at the 13th Annual Los
Angeles Times Festival of Books at UCLA. We didn't know what we
were getting ourselves into, which turned out to be a very large,
very hot, very corporate experience; but there were some moments...
