We’re BACK

AND SO ARE THE PHILLIES!!!! After 28 years of starving for attention in the world of sports, this humble little city has FINALLY won the world series!!!  HOORAYYYY!!!!
Goodness, what has happened to me???

Double high-five!!

Our tech-savvy friend Allen came over today and while I sauce-and-tossed in the kitchen, he clicked away at our computer to find out that my blog had 10 unique hits today. TEN. Having just started this blog, ten is HUGE for me!! So I just wanted to celebrate a little and say a huge thank you to my web-friends!!

This day I promise, I will (try to) keep my posts pithy, and the pictures plentiful.  The stuff good blogs are made of.
Pithy adj. having substance and point : tersely cogent ; concise
Cogent adj. having power to compel or constrain ; pertinent ; relevant 

And hopefully you’ll learn something along the way.  Or just be amused at how.. um.. prepared my in-laws are, should disaster ever strike and the world run out of spaghetti sauce.  Happy Friday!!

Not a single bit left

Sometimes inspiration comes in the most unlikely places.  This time it was in a piece of junk mail!

When I stand before God at the
end of my life I would hope
that I would have not a single
bit of talent left and could say,

“I used everything
you gave me.”

This girl is adorable. She has the blackest, most piercing and beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen. She’s also incredibly advanced for her age, speed reading through seminary-level books.  Those kiddie toys and the car she’s sitting on?  Just decoys so her parents won’t catch on and make her go to school, she said.  ”You got a problem with that?” she demands with pursed lips. “Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve gotta get back to my book.”
