Sunday, April 1, 2012. I wanted to forget today. The day we lost William. But inevitably, this day cracks me open wide. My veneer is always as thin as an eggshell. There is always, always a gaping, yawning maw at my back. But I still thought I could escape.

This is not the blog you are looking for. Friday, March 30, 2007. Wednesday, January 10, 2007. Friday, December 29, 2006. Monday, December 25, 2006. Thank You! What can I say? Not all public figures do good works - and few do so quietly. But, for James Brown, contributions to society are not limited to just music. From lyrics with an edifying message - to delivering turkeys at.

A little bit about me. Summer fun - aircon required. I have received another book by John Holt, Teach Your Own. It is a wonderfully refreshing look at children and how they can fit into our lives. He makes many points that I can identify with in how we communicate with children. One in particular were his comments on saying no. So, by moving away from the idea that he is deliberately annoying me, I have decided to see it as a learning opportunity.

Come away with me to my place by the sea. Thursday, September 2, 2010. You and Me and Free to Be a Family. I was so even more bummed when I heard the title song from Free to Be. You and Me being exploited to sell Target trash. So go to your library and find the music, films, and books. Share them with the children you love. Wednesday, September 1, 2010.

Bring me my bacon wrapped shrimp and milkshake, and be snappy about it! Wednesday, July 23, 2008. I continue to be a work in progress and will probably battle my weight for years to come, but for now, I am going to just work on today. Tuesday, July 22, 2008.

Horses, Cakes, and Other things I love. Facebook gives me an outlet to family, so this will now be dedicated to the horses and cakes in my life. Plus other tidbits I find interesting. Monday, July 18, 2011. The horses have had a number of illness, absesses, aches, and pains, but everyone is in pretty good repair at the moment. Cajun gets one more shot and then I think I start riding again- really slow rehab.

Friday, November 6, 2009. Minnetonka Caves by Bear Lake. Minnetonka Caves up near Bear Lake. I had been once before a long time ago, and they were just as cool as I remembered them. The boardwalk that leads to the cave. The mouth of the Cave with Grandpa. You could feel the cool air coming up from below. It helps that they have a green light on it.
