“Debbie”:http://sternski.com/debbie _is a dear friend of mine who lost her mom this year to cancer. It was fairly sudden – which I know from experience is both a blessing and a curse. Joyce lasted mere weeks from diagnosis to passing. Debbie has been through so much this year, I can’t even imagine. Here are Debbie’s…

Traveling Twenty Acres Blogging
I am feeling cooped up in here. As soon as I finish the honoring post I am working on I am going to travel around the property and blog from various locations. Any requests? I’m thinking about visiting the chicken/duck/guinea coop, the garden, the work crew at Mom & Don’s house, the horses, the sheep,…
Phantom of the Opera
That’s what the girls are playing on iTunes now. I plan to take them to see POTO live someday. They all love musicals, especially broadway musicals. The older girls taught the younger girls the _Angel of Music_ duet several years ago, when they were like 4 and 6. Talk about adorable with a capital A!…
Niji means Rainbow
Now the music is _Niji_ by Arashi. Yes, it’s all in Japanese. _Angel_ assures me that Niji means ‘Rainbow’ and that the song is about a couple that is having trouble but is making it through because they love each other. Sweet. The song just changed to one called _Happiness,_ still by Arashi. At least…
Bacon, hash browns and pancakes
It’s what’s for brunch. I’m not cooking it, my wonderful daughters are while I prepare the next post. It’s almost done, and it’s a good one. We have music going now, along with the sounds of breakfast preparations, the lawnmower and children talking/playing. It’s an album by a band called Acceptance. I’ve heard her play…
My haircut
I just remembered how much I love taking photographs of just about anything – except for me. Here’s a not-so-hot shot of my haircut, sans styling, and still waiting for the highlights. Maybe I’ll do the highlights today during the blogathon, and I’ll let the biggest donor decide if I go sparse, heavy or chunky…
What is going on around here
Brunch is being cooked, games are being played, blogging is being done. What’s going on around you right now?
First goal reached for Blogathon 2009
Okay, the first goal is reached – we surpassed $40, reaching $50 in pledges – yay!! I’m off to run a brush and stuff through my hair to share a photo of my new haircut. Exciting stuff, I know. !http://starzabove.com/smilies/nut.gif! I’ll be right back.
Getting the sad news out of the way
Yesterday was a bit of a sad day around here. And I say get the sad news _’out of the way’_ simply because there are times to dwell on sadness and times to brush it aside to focus on the good things. Even out of death we can focus on good things – like memories,…
Cucumber Sandwiches, Great Friends and Rain
Yes, it’s raining AGAIN! But I’m okay, because my _Angel_ brought me a cucumber sandwich (fresh cucumbers from our garden), and I have great friends! I’m working on my first honoring post, complete with text and photos ( Thanks “Debbie!”:http://sternski.com/debbie ), meanwhile what is your favorite or most unusual kind of sandwich that you enjoy?
