I was sleeping when my mom woke my siblings and I up to tell us. I'd barely even heard of the WTC before, being only ten years old.

My family doesn't have a TV - though until 2009 we sometimes used "Rabbit ears" to catch big events like presidential elections and the Olympics. So a neighbor invited us kids over to watch coverage on his TV until ( Read more... )

Last weekend my family took the loooong drive up to Paxon area to pick blueberries.  We returned with gallons of them and bad colds.  (Well, to be honest, worse colds.  We started out sick and made ourselves moreso by being out in the chill all day)

Since then we've washed and picked over 50 some cups of blueberries and aren't even halfway ( Read more... )

This afternoon I made a tumblr account, for the specific purpose of following a few friends. However, I have yet to get the confirmation e-mail.  I'm unsure what is causing this problem, but I hope this gets straightened out soon! I'm thinking it's an error on tumblr's part, because I've checked both my regular Windows inbox and my online gmail ( Read more... )

 Well, I'm back!   A big "Thank you!" to my friends who prayed for me!  My travels were safe and smooth, and I really feel like God was able to use me at the children's camp, despite my many shortcomings.  He overcame them for me.  : D  Many of those kids are so needy in every way that it really brings home to me how blessed I am ( Read more... )

 I've made some major updates to my LJ, as some may have noticed.  : )  I stopped short of a total layout update, but I've overhauled my color scheme and "Installed" new header and background images.   I've been wanting to do this for a while, and though it didn't come out perfect, I am pretty happy with how it all looks.

On Wednesday I was ( Read more... )

Brother Aviator and I are spending some time at the family store, filling in for vacationing extended family.
This mostly involves sitting about sipping macchiatos and nibbling snack samples, while wishing we had packed a decent lunch.  I'm beginning to feel rather peaked from so much caffeine and so few nutrients.

Last night my laptop caught a ( Read more... )

On the way to work this morning, I saw a fox.  My first wild fox after ~15 years in Alaska.  I've seen a coyote, but never a fox. Till now.  
And no, it was not blue. It was a rather scruffy brown, grey, and black fox.  But it was still wonderful.  : )

Other nice things:

I just made my 1,000 post on NarniaWeb!   : o

Went to the library after work and ( Read more... )

We're kicked back watching Don Knott's The Ghost and Mr. Chicken with Grandpa. Rather a family favorite.  : )  It's always so distressing when Luther tries to convince everyone he was telling the truth and nothing goes right!  (I am very empathizing - to the point that it's almost silly)

Last night my brother Aviator graduated from high school.  I ( Read more... )

Just a liddle note to let you all know that I won't be on for about a week - our Grandpa will be visiting for my brother's graduation.  And I have so much cleaning to do before...

Oh, and I've got another little plug! : P
