Sun, 21 Mar 2010 02:12:32 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en This is a story that I shared at my Tuesday night Bible study, and it was requested that I re-tell it two or three times, so I thought it might be a good one to write down. John and I recently lost our kitty Figaro, who had been with us ... http://lakenormanwebdesign.com/blog/?p=48 Since I mentioned recycling, and since my laundry room (where I keep my recyclables) is about as clean as it’s going to get (for the picture), I decided to go ahead and write about it. Recycling has cut our trash in half. Yes, that’s right – HALF. We have trash pick ... http://lakenormanwebdesign.com/blog/?p=45 Not in the environmental sense...though I am also passionate about recycling. That’s another blog. Right now I’m talking veggies. Due to some nagging health problems, I’ve decided to get my act together and start eating right again. I’m on the ETL (Eat to Live) board for good, and I’m going to ... http://lakenormanwebdesign.com/blog/?p=43 I didn’t work today. Instead, I went to the ESC (Employment Security Commission) office. Even though I was only there for 2 hours, but the “being jerked around” factor made it feel like a full day of work. As I was leaving, I called my husband to say, “I need ... http://lakenormanwebdesign.com/blog/?p=42 I’m not a movie critic, or a comic fan, so what do I know, but it just didn’t do much for me personally.

Maybe I just didn’t “get it.” Please do explain. ... http://lakenormanwebdesign.com/blog/?p=40 I used to never understand when people would say “Don’t do it in your own strength.” That used to really baffle me. I still don’t like the saying, because it’s a cliché and doesn’t really make sense when you say it as a one liner, but I’m starting to understand ... http://lakenormanwebdesign.com/blog/?p=39 At the end of every great weekend is another Monday. At five minutes until the start of my two hour commute, this Monday morning was about to tick-tock me out the door. We had been blessed with a rare visit with my niece, her husband, and their three young boys. Our ... http://lakenormanwebdesign.com/blog/?p=38 I absolutely love where we live. We own an acre of land which is surrounded by several more acres of woods. You can barely see our house from the road when the leaves are on the trees. We have a bubbling brook running through our front yard that was flowing ... http://lakenormanwebdesign.com/blog/?p=34 John and I celebrated our 9 year anniversary in June. Every year he gets me the traditional gift. For example, the first year is paper, so he created a newsletter for our family with stories and pictures. Last year was pottery, so he took me to a place where you ... http://lakenormanwebdesign.com/blog/?p=29 My sister Joyce has been talking about geocaching for awhile. I didn’t get all the hype, but this summer she took me with her. Our brother Harley went too. We were in Indiana for a reunion and she came prepared with her little yellow geocaching GPS and print outs of ... http://lakenormanwebdesign.com/blog/?p=27
