Inanna, Sisters in Rhythm

Published by on October 22, 2011 | Leave a response

My Mom and I went to a wonderful concert tonight. The performers were Inanna – definitely check out their website if you’ve never heard of (or heard) them. We’ve seen them before, most notably in 2004 just after my Mom got out of rehab after her major car accident. I remember that show particularly because […]

Hardy Girls, Healthy Women

Published by on October 20, 2011 | Leave a response

Last night I attended a gathering of about a dozen homeschooling Moms who are interested in learning more about empowering their pre-teen and teen daughters. It was held at the lovely home of a woman I’d “met” online. She runs an e-mail list for homeschoolers in my area (a great resource), and she’s also a […]

Did you ever have one of those days when you have to make some food to take to an event, and you’re having a busy day, and you haven’t been to the grocery store? Yep, that was me, today. And yet the soup BlackLion and I made, which I’m going to call October Soup (because […]

Today Dryst has his final soccer game of the season. He’s been playing on the junior varsity team for the local high school. Dryst has been playing soccer since he was six.

Blogging for the Ballroom

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you may know that this radical chick has a few kinda mainstream pleasures. One of them is watching Dancing With the Stars with my Mom. Yep, it’s a Monday night family tradition for us. Since we don’t have TV at our house, we go and watch […]

Aha! We’ve Figured You Out, Percy.

Published by on October 17, 2011 | Leave a response

Several times each evening, Percy comes in, gets petted or perhaps has a few bites of food, and goes back out. We call him the “in and out cat.” Eventually he’ll (usually) come in for the night, and find a place to sleep on someone’s bed or in various other warm and cozy places. This […]

Saturday at the Homestead

Published by on October 15, 2011 | 1 Response

After a whole lot of rain in a fairly short amount of time, the moon came out last night. I saw its pretty light from my bed, and then woke this morning to a sunny and windy October day. Got some sheets out on the line to dry; that is, if they don’t blow away! […]

Cuddly Cats for a Rainy Friday Evening…

Published by on October 15, 2011 | Leave a response

What do I do when I can’t think of anything I want to write about? I post some cat pictures! That will keep everyone occupied for a few minutes, going “aww!” Then no one will recall that this post didn’t contain much actual written content. That’s my nefarious plan…mwahahahaha! Enjoy these beauteous felines! Sir Percival […]

It Sounds So Simple

Published by on October 14, 2011 | Leave a response

Okay, I’m going to share a profound bit of wisdom that I’ve discovered this fall. Are you ready? Here we go: when you stop trying so hard, release a bit of control and clinging, and let go, then things flow more smoothly your way. Sounds so simple, huh? And yet I don’t think I’m alone […]

Must-Have Music

Published by on October 13, 2011 | Leave a response

Today is (was) Quester’s birthday. When I’d asked him for suggestions for what he wanted for gifts, he gave me a list of CDs, being quite the music aficionado. The one I grabbed turned out to be the most excellent new music I’ve heard for a long time. The band (as well as the album) […]
