When Dr. Nut asked me to write a pirate story, I said “sure thing” without giving it a thought. After several days of trying to get my ideas to gel, I was about to give up. But Nut is tenacious… so I finally finished it and she put it on Babblecast for your listening enjoyment. […]

This is interesting… ~a site that rates blogs
I can’t remember how I came across this website, blogged.com, but I visited it yesterday, entered this site in and within a day they had given me a pretty good rating! You can surf away from the page that highlights my blog to look at entire categories, rated and ranked. I am in the “Stay […]
NaNoWriMo?
Like a challenge? How about adventure, romance, thrills and chills? Aspire to be/do/say something a bit more than the average? November is National Novel Writing Month. I think I will give this a try. I managed to write a chapter in the BabbleStory today… 978 words in one hour. How hard can 50,000 words be? […]
A new me?
I wanted a font that represents me exactly. So, a little rough around the edges (and only one of the letters actually “done-ish”), here is my new icon. Themes and variations will appear eventually. additional notes: I also wanted to change the colors on the page, today (October 7) I have added a pink border, […]
Missions accomplished, and some on hold
Never quite sure what sort of categories posts like this belong to. Oh well… I feel very good about my activities the last couple weeks. I researched and designed a bulletin board for the local school which is going to do a “One Book One Community” project on the AH MO book, a collection of […]
Just in Time for School!
Yep, you guessed it… RAIN! This is the first day of school for my mother — and for the first time in years, truly for me. I leave in 12 minutes to help in her classroom. I haven’t had jitters like this in a long time… Still, I love doing what I will be doing, […]
Eventful Weekend
Well! What a lot can happen in a few days on a long weekend! The in-laws came around for a visit, and unlike their often whirlwind in-and-out, they stayed overnight nearby! YIPPEE! I like to spend time with them, but living on the other side of the mountains, and with them going away most vacations […]
Ready for the Start of School?
One of the things we try to do for our children is model appropriate behavior. Another is showing and encouraging them to help others and facilitating their helping. Yesterday was a chance for them to spend time with their grandmother, to help her get her classroom ready for school — and simultaneously to help at […]
Garden Pics, and a Reminder
This was posted on one of my other blogs first… While I have been away, things have been happening! Managed to make some new cards for the teachers as summer presents this year. Need to make a couple more and then I’ll post a couple pics on my business site. Got one kid promoted from […]
Ciocia Judy in Seattle
Well, my Babble friend, Ciocia Judy (that’s pronounced chuh-chuh) and I met up on June 16 for a day of non-stop talking and touristing. From noon to eight, we talked, ate (lunch and supper bookended our visit), strolled and enjoyed the day. My stidfamily came along too for part of the day, and we had […]
