Sweet Francaise || On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from January 2009

February 28, 2019

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from January 2009 India has this funny habit of adding in the prefix "a la" to certain words and phrases. Think ice cream a la mode, except that she uses it in contexts that make no sense.

Wednesday’s Child: Santiago and James

February 27, 2019

Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family. My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system. Perhaps their stories will inspire you to consider opening your home to a child needing a family. For more information and to . . .

um, oops || On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from January 2009.

February 21, 2019

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from January 2009.  Earlier this evening, a car alarm started going off on our street. This happens several times a week. For some reason, the multi-generational family across the street feels it necessary to protect their large fleet of mid-90's sedans with blaring sirens. 'Cause our suburb is so ghetto and all. I am ever annoyed by this and every time it happens, I feel like marching right over there and telling them to turn the alarm off . . .
