lately


for all you voyeurs, this is what's up in my world. oh, and i've included two of my brother's photos to wow you.
  1. i spoke with chris (who is in guatemala) for 37 minutes on monday, our anniversary. he and the team (this is a wycliffe trip) are doing well. headed to villages for the remainder of the stay. this is a sort of training trip for him as he will lead future trips for college students into areas in which wycliffe is active.
  2. my younger son, jack, makes me laugh a lot. today he said, one time i tasted a boomerang. it was good. i wanna taste another one some day. i have so many thoughts and questions.....
  3. hank, the older son, asked me to play a game over the weekend. i beat out facebook and guitar to play boggle. i won.
  4. i'm reading the immortal life of henrietta lacks by rebecca skloot. i'm intrigued by a book that delves into science. what that means is this book is well-written. i'm not a fan of science if i am the one studying it.
  5. and the pigs and garden? growing. pictures to follow when chris comes home with our camera!
the thursday-friday links:

  1. I'm thinking about taste testing Mitchell's boomerang that his grandparents brought back from Australia after reading this. Ha, I'm kidding. That was pretty funny about your son.

  3. okay - finished the aforementioned book. LOVED. it really isn't ALL about science. the author has woven in the fascinating story of a family struggling to make it in baltimore, md. also, some of the proceeds of the book go to a foundation that's aim is to pay for henrietta lacks's descendents to study in college.

  4. Jack and the boomerang? Don't ask...you probably don't want to know.

    I love that you reign at Boggle. My boys will hardly play Scrabble or Boggle with me. Something about me being an English teacher and it being unfair...

    Love the photos! Happy anniversary, too.
