Feeding the fish

Posted by: Kathy on: June 29, 2008

Ugh. My older son vomited in his bed when I put him down for the night, so I had to change his clothes and the bedding (including pillow), and then go and swish the dirty stuff in the lake. Ick. At least I didn’t have to hand-wash it on a scrub-board!
Yes, folks, we’re in a [...]

Road Trip

Posted by: Kathy on: June 27, 2008

We left at 4 this morning. Seth woke up probably about 3 a.m., and wouldn’t go back to sleep. I hadn’t slept well the whole night — not only did it take me a long time to get to sleep, but I slept restlessly.
At one point, I dreamed that there was a granddaddy long-legs in [...]

Road Trip

Posted by: Kathy on: June 24, 2008

It went off better than I was fearing, with the exception of my son throwing up within the first hour. At first I thought he was coming down with something, but since he acted just fine from then on, I now figure he was just car-sick. The car was quite full, and there [...]

My new blog

Posted by: Kathy on: June 23, 2008

I previously posted about the Christian camp I went to last week. I’ve decided to start a blog for it. The camp has been in existence for nearly 40 years now, and many of the people who started it are getting up in years, and there is no guarantee for them to live even until [...]

“Love food hate waste”

Posted by: Kathy on: June 22, 2008

Somebody sent me this link, which seems pretty cool. It’s from the UK, so I’m going to have to translate centimeters and grams, but that’s okay. It’s a website devoted to using up food and leftovers, so that it’s not wasted. Always a great idea! Sure, we have plenty of food, but it doesn’t make [...]

Busy, busy, busy

Posted by: Kathy on: June 17, 2008

It’s Camp Moriah this week, which means I have no time for the computer!
It’s also my husband’s summer vacation, so we’ll be doing other things for the next several weeks which will also take me away from the computer. I’m looking forward to spending more time with my husband and kids together. We’ll take walks, [...]

Racism and Sexism in Presidential Politics

Posted by: Kathy on: June 16, 2008

Ok, so this post is just a tad out-dated, since Hilary Clinton has officially conceded defeat, but I should have written this some time ago, and am just now getting around to it.
Throughout the campaign, there has been talk about the sexism factor with Hilary’s Presidential bid, and the racism factor with Obama’s Presidential bid. [...]

June 14th is Flag Day

Posted by: Kathy on: June 14, 2008

Here’s a website for more flag information.
It’s more than just pieces of red, white, and blue fabric sewn together. It’s a symbol of our nation.
God bless America.

What a great idea!

Posted by: Kathy on: June 12, 2008

Michigan, and especially Detroit, have been hit hard financially. Many homes have been foreclosed on, many derelict houses and apartments have been closed and the lots cleared. What to do with the empty space? Grow a garden, of course!
In The Tightwad Gazette books which were written about a dozen years ago, at least one person [...]

Drifting towards “green”

Posted by: Kathy on: June 10, 2008

I’m not that much into environmentalism. In fact, I think a lot of the people who are environmentalists are kinda wacko (but then, these are the people who get on the news because of their outrageous stunts, so I know these are not representative of all environmentalists. At least I hope so). However, I do [...]
