The House at 304. Musings and Moods from My Home in The Land of Lincoln. Sunday, August 12, 2012. Two things about the "Already? Something I am looking forward to. October will take me away for a weekend to a high-school class reunion. And, by the way, I've seen some pictures of my classmates, and. Look like they've aged. Have I? I'm going to bury my head in the sand on that one! I thought I might try Stickles in random areas to glitter it up but leave the snowy effect of the StazOn. What I hadn't th...

The House at 304. Musings and Moods from My Home in The Land of Lincoln. Monday, June 10, 2013. Happy birthday, Mom! I have to admit that even before I got on the road to go to Dad and Mom's this weekend I was feeling melancholy about this particular visit. What a blessing it is to enjoy having elderly parents! How things are going to be for those of us baptized in Christ! He lives to silence all my fears;. He lives to wipe away my tears;. He lives to calm my troubled heart;. Links to this post. I have l...

Ummm, yeah. Its June. View my complete profile. Monday, June 4, 2012. Ummm, yeah. It's June. Sorry to leave this blog so quiet for so long. It wasn't planned. Unlike the next couple of months in my life. So what happened? Quick trip to "round on the ends and high in the middle"* for Mr. Fartlepants' shower. Family, faith, food, fun. CJ's birthday. And contrary to what he has said, he's still young. Sheesh. Not perfect, but FINISHED. Yay! August: SCBWI National Conference in LA, FANTASTIC honeymoon in?

Music Monday - Skyfall. Fridays, Furniture, and Stan. View my complete profile. Tuesday, April 23, 2013. Sometimes it isn't just about having a bad week. It's just.blah. Last Thursday, the sky opened up and we had more rain in one day than Noah's forty days. CJ continued in his war of attrition with his class. I continued in my war with procrastination, and lost, and won, and lost. But sometimes the impatience is negated by cold reality. Many people have had much worse days. Monday, April 15, 2013. I was...

Music Monday - The Boys (and Girls) Of Fall. View my complete profile. Monday, October 1, 2012. Music Monday - The Boys (and Girls) Of Fall. There is a slight whiff of chill in the air tonight that wasn't there this weekend. The leaves are turning quickly, threatening to slide straight from green to the ground. Another sign of the season. The football players are not alone. The soccer players, boys and girls, are running and playing too. At my high school, girls' tennis was a fall sport. And ...You have ...

For My Dad, Of Course. Little Bits of Joy. View my complete profile. Monday, February 18, 2013. For My Dad, Of Course. Dad's birthday was yesterday. He taught me about the mercy of God, about salvation found only in Christ our Savior. He taught me never to shake the liter of pop before it's opened. He taught me to read, and read classic stories and poems out loud before bedtime. He taught me what NOT to say when fresh paint is spilled on new carpet. He taught me how to drive. I love you, Dad! The younger...

http://forgivenolsons.blogspot.com/2014/04/an-old-man-young-girl-and-their-brother.html
Unlovables loved by Love Divine. Tuesday, April 15, 2014. An old man, a young girl, and their Brother. Heinz Otto Bleinagel was born into a north Prussian farm family in 1918. He shared hard physical labor with his father, mother, four brothers, and three sisters. He was hard of hearing in one ear. He didn't like corn because pigs ate it. He was a Lutheran. In Milwaukee, Heinz met Betty. Betty was a Catholic. They got engaged, and Heinz found himself taken into a room with Betty's aunt, a nun....Jordy...

ForgivenOlsons: November 2014
http://forgivenolsons.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Unlovables loved by Love Divine. Thursday, November 27, 2014. Like my friend Aubri over here. Because he did that, I could make the Schnitzel Beans (bacon, onions, green beans and other top secret ingredients), the Scalloped Corn, prep the dinner rolls from the dough, and make eggs for a late brunch. I also did two loads of laundry and put away three weeks' worth of clean clothes in our room, which was completely tangential to the meal but made me feel fan-tad-tic (look! Our dresser has a top! Check-chec...
