A while back I promised to play with this adorable photo of flower girl Peanut in the Time Machine of my Paint Shop Pro program. I’m a lover of all things historical and hysterical, but we’re not talking about that right now, so I love seeing what photos would look…
I used to think that promoting diversity in my childcare program meant having picture books with children from other countries in traditional dress, or serving Cinco de Mayo tacos on May 15. Was I ever wrong! True diversity is more than the color of your skin, where your ancestors came…
It’s Angel Face’s birthday today! In honor of her birthday I thought I’d post some photos from the past year, each with accompanying clever commentary. It was a nice thought, and it’s the thought that count, right? The problem is that when my old laptop crashed, taking the hard drive…
I was so excited about going to handbell festival this year. We hadn’t gone as a choir before, although I’ve attended some handbell workshops and several choir members had gone with other choirs, so we knew how much fun it is to ring with a huge group of people. Saturday…

One of the best things about choosing Fox Banquets for Princess and Cowboy’s wedding reception was that we didn’t have to do anything except show up on time. We purchased their decorating package so all we had to do was stop by two days before the wedding to drop off…
