I actually volunteered in a classroom today. First graders, listening to them read. Wasn’t well enough to do that when my kids were little, glad I can now. This will be a weekly thing for me until school is out for the year. Transplanted the other kiwi. Hope I got enough of its root system […]

April Showers
Well, it’s been raining off and on (mostly off) the last two days. T’s birthday, on April Fool’s Eve, it hailed a few times! We had dinner with my folks at a great Barbeque place on Highway 8: The Ranch House. T helped a friend pack to move closer to a new job with Microsoft […]
Firefox
This is our favorite browser, works in Linux as well as Windows. Very stable, and FREE! Firefox – Rediscover the Web
He fixed it!
Now the blog looks good in my favorite browser [Firefox]! There was some sort of file missing that IE and Netscape weren’t smart enough to notice, but Firefox did. I have updated the website for my business a little bit (probably won’t be noticeable to most). Need to figure out how to to the 404 […]
SPRING!

A word game for scrabble and other word addicts
This is a fun game to play, 24 hours for each puzzle, a small fee provides additional features, but isn’t necessary to enjoy. Babble: The Ultimate Word Game
Another sunny day
I was better enough to spend some time with Mother today, and walk around outside a little. Today the peach tree nearest the house is about to bloom (a couple buds are already opening)! But I also took a really long nap and didn’t feel much like playing in the dirt even though it was […]
Two weekends in a row…
G is ill again. I am also under the weather, which is a real shame, because today was beautiful, and I wasn’t able to spend any time outside at all. Fevers, chills, sore throat and cough. Sounds like a mild case of the flu to me! He’s better this evening, so I have hope he […]
Rain and Green Leaves
A good day for some quiet musing… while I listen to some Irish ballads, trying to learn the tunes so I can play and sing a little bit on Friday. while the great galoot runs around the house, looking in the windows, hoping I will forget it’s raining and come play outside. while the trees […]
Science Fair Saturday
M’s science fair project with his friend went well. They did all the work in class, and managed to put together a fine poster. I think they learned a good bit, too! The community scientist was very complimentary of their work, and they seemed to enjoy explaining what they had done. G didn’t do a […]
