Chris is studying a poetry unit in her Language Arts.  I read her this poem. By the time the first stanza was over, Claire had put down her pen and listened too. I love it.  Try reading it out loud, better yet try delivering it with meaning and swirls of your cape.
It’s long, but well [...]

A bad blogging month

Thanks to all who cursory browse my blog. It has been a bad blogging month–too much happening.
We’re moving house, not till March but there’s a lot to think about. And our warehouse just moved, and is still in the process of getting set up. Life seems somehow fragmented at present, a little living here, a [...]

Rain, Rain, Go Away

Come again another day. Or not…
Did you know that it rains the approximate of half the year in Taiwan. I read that somewhere but can’t reference it right now. Anyway, that’s a lot of rainy days.
As you may be able to tell from this post, we’ve had consistent rain for a while now. <Sigh>
I can’t [...]

Jiaosi Hot Springs

Here we are again, back at the hot spring resort.  We are taking three days off, without the kids this time, and are doing ‘fun stuff’ for us. Soaking for hours in steaming hot then freezing cold hot spring water. It’s such a rush to jump from one to the other.
Right now I’m in the [...]

Wednesday

I couldn’t think of any other title for this post.
Funny thing is, it’s actually only Tuesday. I don’t know why it feels like Wednesday. (Anyone want to say how Wednesday feels?)
My worst plight at present is that I rolled over on my glasses and totally destroyed them last night.  They were on the bed.   So [...]

For fun, and as a refresher on what has happened each month since I started blogging I thought that every now and then I could list it.
I was just looking at my first year, September till December, 2006.  Here’s what happened then:
September I started blogging
October we chased Ferrel cats, and I received Prisca Pudifoot for [...]

I’m back.

Not that I actually went anywhere.   For some reason blogging took a bit of a hit.  Sometimes there’s not that much to blog about.   Other times life is speeding by in the fast lane, leaving no time for blogging (or doing laundry, or cleaning the fish tank, or going for long walks, or brushing the [...]

Is this writer’s block.  Bloggers block?
Was out in the big city of Taipei all day yesterday.
Peter drove Chris to a “girlie night”  last night.  Chris’s first question when she heard about it, “Mum, what do you do on a girlie night?”  Naturally I told her an assortment of scary, random things at first…hehehehe.  (They watched [...]

I was tagged…

…by Libby.
“Show me a special something–something that is important or beautiful or meaningful or full of memories for you–or all of that–and tell me about it. Absolutely anything!! Take a photo of it and post it, saying why it is special!”
Having lived a long and not-always-illustrious life, I have a large pool of memories [...]
