a glimpse of things to come Posted on January 27, 2007 By pamela (I know… I’m going to change the colour scheme/image here… it’s just a little Valentine’s day indulgence. It’s actually too much for me.) So… Bill Gates says the internet will revolutionize television in the next five years. If we all get programing devoid of advertising and commentary, who’s going to… Read more
The brief change of appearance? I’m thinking about… Posted on January 26, 2007 By pamela anniversaries and valentine’s… flowers and chocolates… music and candlelight… these are a few of my favourite things… I’m just remembering and looking forward to a few of my favourite things… ♪ Raindrops on roses and —O, wait— I NEVER think of whiskers on kittens.

revisting books Posted on January 25, 2007 By pamela I think one of the problems with simply borrowing books from libraries instead of buying copies for our own libraries is that we can’t go back and revisit a chapter or even a meaningful sentence very easily. That, and it’s frowned upon to mark up borrowed books. =o) So I… Read more
mulling over 31 Proverbs Posted on January 24, 2007 By pamela I’m taking a break from writing – handwriting, that is – my husband has encouraged us, each one, to write out a copy of the Word—the Bible in our own hand—His Words, our writing. We’ve begun in the New Testament and have set about writing – originally a chapter a… Read more
a couple of links for you Posted on January 22, 2007 By pamela I thought about titling this blog entry: cuff links – you know, as in hand cuffs. But then I didn’t. My husband sent me a couple of links that were of interest to me and might be to you, too. In our case, clicking second link (convicted felons) proved to… Read more
Way more than a cuppa Posted on January 22, 2007 By pamela A few years ago I was speaking at a retreat and was sharing some basic marriage “imperatives” and what it takes to be: married for keeps. Yes… that’s a title of a book I’m writing in my mind. It’ll probably end up being published there too. And be a best… Read more
sorting through the biggest problems Posted on January 21, 2007 By pamela You know… when you try and quantify or attempt to qualify an issue, there inevitably comes a point when you have to retract a statement or further qualify it. I muse the problems that face America. I do this from time to time when I read an article about some… Read more
And then I wondered… Posted on January 20, 2007 By pamela Is all the cookie dough supposed to be baked into cookies? a few of our children make cookie dough for the sole purpose of tasting it (okay… eating it) by the fingerful handful. Still I wonder about cookies getting stale. My husband reminded me that cookies do not stay more… Read more
A question I’ve never asked. Posted on January 19, 2007 By pamela I’ve been a subscriber to an email list for many years… not really a participant except through occasional private mails but not a ‘regular’ poster. Anyway… as I usually do each day, I browsed the content list to scan the mail. I’m still laughing. O, not at the sister who… Read more
mo betah mothering Posted on January 18, 2007 By pamela So, I’m still going through our home… regathering, resorting, redistributing, refusing and recycling. But the one thing I don’t want to spend anymore time on is rearranging the same stuff – trying to figure out how to keep the same stuff I still won’t need later. It’s been good… I’m… Read more
