Whew. Okay, I have now gone through my junior high yearbooks and will soon have a post or two on that topic. Several memories, some forgotten mysteries, and general strangeness. More on that to come. I still have four high school band yearbooks (yes, the band had its own yearbook) and my one surviving yearbrickbook […]
While I’m on the topic of date night (see my previous post)… This week we did not feel like mini-golfing again on date night, so we went bowling instead. I did so well, we got a printout of the scores, much to my husband’s dismay – I’ve already mentioned how he has bad luck at

On Sunday, the Seattle Mariners defeated the Oakland Athletics 8-7 in 15 innings. While neither team is high on my radar to follow, the Mariners possess one player with very close ties.

In our local newspaper lately, there’s been multiple stories covering the demolition of an old high school in the county. The demolition uncovered a few surprises; one was a time capsule, placed in the brick walls by students and faculty in 1922 when the high school was built. I found it really neat that no

A while ago, my husband suggested that I blog everything I do. While that seemed a little outrageous and time consuming to me, I am going to share this email I just typed to a long lost friend from high school. I got an email from her the other day out of the blue saying
Reading the post on Jamiahsh’s blog about his favorite things, I started to respond to his post then realized I probably had enough information for my own post, so here goes. While I was in a school play when I was 7 and in the chorus of one when I was 10, theatre didn’t really
Okay, thanks to today this will be a two-part post. See my next post for the reason. 🙂 Yesterday I had the privilege of attending my nephew’s high school graduation. He actually attended two of the same schools as I did growing up. One of those schools I have subbed at several times. The other one was
