Friday, October 28, 2011. The Long, Long Week. And I am grateful for each of the children who touched my life this week and helped me forget for a little bit the sadness of loss and reminded me how fortunate I truly am to be able to listen to the stories, answer the questions, smile and to receive a hug from a child. Children will not remember you for the material things you provided but for the feeling that you cherished them.". Richard L. Evans. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Tuesday, October 16, 2012. Disney Trip TIp #3. I have a good friend, Karen, who has been telling me for years how great "Mickey's Halloween Party at Disneyland" is. This year I finally decided to follow her advice and we included it in our Disney trip plans. But if you are going this year you better hurry . it is almost completely sold out for this year). Crafts at Big Thunder Ranch. Second, when you enter the park you receive a wrist band. DON'T LOSE IT! The Villains close the show. We thought the parad...

Saturday, November 3, 2012. 13 is my lucky number. Running has never been something I aspire to doing. I remember back in middle school when once a year we were forced to do a six minute run around the track. I used to pray that I would be sick on that particular day. It never happened and it certainly did not endear running to me. Ter in the front of the line for the before the race warm-ups. I like to walk fast and so I took off at a brisk pace and enjoyed the early morning camaraderie with the other w...

The Full Nest: A Day Of Sadness
http://thefullnesters.blogspot.com/2012/12/a-day-of-sadness.html
Saturday, December 15, 2012. A Day Of Sadness. Knowing perfectly well that there will not be an answer that any of us will be able to accept or understand. Already, I've watched the interviews with experts who have offered possible explanations but there really is no good reason for something like deliberate massacre of innocents. How can you explain evil? But the thing that touched me the most in the aftermath of photos and interviews was one interview. Which brings us back to that question of "Why?

http://thefullnesters.blogspot.com/2012/11/my-favorite-christmas-picture-books.html
Monday, November 19, 2012. My Favorite Christmas Picture Books Books. Because my friends and family know I am an elementary school "liberryanne" I am often asked for book recommendations. The holidays are usually when I get the most requests.

Stacy and ...

The Full Nest: Movie Review
http://thefullnesters.blogspot.com/2013/01/movie-review.html
Tuesday, January 1, 2013. I LOVE everything about Les Miserables. I have seen almost every version (Did you know Claire Danes played Cossette in one movie version? Including a high school rendition. My boys can attest the the fact that I adore the music and have made them sit through countless hours in the car listening to the recording of the 10th Anniversary Dream Cast. I have to admit, though, the 25th Anniversary Concert is my all time favorite. The encore. With Colm Wilkinson is amazing. And then go...

Tuesday, November 29, 2011. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas . maybe. The first picture of Christmas. I have been doing some major internet surfing looking for "sure-fire" remedies to keep the kitty out of the Christmas tree. One of my favorite comments on a message board was made by someone who put it in perspective: "Silly humans! You bring a huge scratching post inside the house and then you hang shiny toys on it and expect me to ignore it? Hmmm, to choose, to choose! Matthew, Heather, Andr...

Friday, October 12, 2012. Disney Tip Part 2. Our new friend, cast member Ash assured us we were the front of the line and very quickly several hundred people stepped in behind us. My theory is that if a group of people start a line anywhere in Disneyland, 100 or more people will join it. Someday I plan to test it. I have done a little more research since being home and here's what I wish I would have known earlier . If you do not want to get wet (and who does at 9pm in October? Pick up snacks or a late d...
