A simple connection
Mid December 2007
I sent this memory recently in a letter to a friend. I’d never shared it before with anyone; too precious and complicated. Just realized it might help others as well and the girl would wish her story to be known…
On a beautiful summer day a neighbor’s granddaughter of nine wandered into our yard with her cousin as she occasionally ( Read more... ) -
Hot cocoa yoga
It's official. Half an inch of snow, everyone directly in from the cold, the floor not as warm as last week. We had hot cocoa yoga today!

Cool! Snow! Drive!
Thursday 6 December
Can’t resist: things moving smoothly, so a few minutes to write, perhaps post?!.
The substantial snow today so beautiful!
Only an inch and a bit, but a lovely texture. As it fell the supercooled rain from earlier on the ground reverted to liquid as the ground is still ‘warm.’ Yet the snow hit the windshield with a crunchy ( Read more... ) -
Holiday Shuffle in Earnest
Wednesday 5 December 2007

Gently Full Day Results in Fish Curry
Tuesday 4 December 2007
Three classes as usual; such marvelous people. But today I’m running at the edges; pressed for time, force myself to take time with everything to be sure it is done right as anything I do goes awry otherwise (triple check everything; no wonder some believe in hostile beings/curses), so running later than I like for ( Read more... ) -
Thanksgiving week!
Told you I’d not be online! Too much, more rewarding, in the real world.
Let’s see…
Monday bought doughnuts for the family at 5: 30 am when there was a decent selection (getting a strange look from the person at the register for asking for plain doughnuts), and in the afternoon an emergency session at the school regarding the child’s doings. and in ( Read more... ) -
...And a mixed day
Had time for a very few morning chores, one ordering the fresh Thanksgiving turkey from my favorite family-owned store with an excellent reputation for such things; the one I’d last ordered about 10 years ago (I hate cooking turkeys almost as much as beef) was good…
Taught my last in the homeschool series of yoga classes, a personalized session on ( Read more... ) -
Great mechanic, wonderful person
Wednesday 14 November 2007
Great beginning to the day.
Returned with the truck as the mechanic/owner requested just as he was opening the garage door, waved to him which surprised him into a belated response. As I carefully parked a fast man in a Honda had swiftly pulled in beside me and hurried to the door. He was the first of us all to the ( Read more... ) -

The relative importance of authority and being authentic
Thursday 8 November 2007
The child, in his one day a week at school, was sent to the office today. The teacher saw he had something mass produced which should be shared with all, and as he didn’t have enough to do so, requested him to throw it away. He saw her demanding he throw away a treasure bestowed by beloved neighbors, a couple who have ‘ ( Read more... )
