    Happy Birthday, Addy!

    Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

    Nine years ago yesterday, Adelaide Rose Rovirosa was born in the van on the side of the road en route to the hospital. One of Addy’s nicknames is “Jane”, because she is so much like Jane Bennet…quiet, calm, serene, thinking good of everyone…not only that, but she has quite a remarkable resemblance to Rosamund Pike, the [...]

    My Fall/Winter Ensemble…

    Saturday, October 24th, 2009

    Compliments of Walmart. I really am enjoying the punch of red gloves, scarf, and beret! I love adding a red punch to things…like a red necklace or red heels with a black and white outfit. Or a red scarf, hat, and gloves to a gray wool peacoat. Oh, and wool Old Navy peacoat from a [...]

    From Dad: A question deserving of an answer. For the sake of clarity I will answer it in sections. Submitted on 2009/09/23 at 12:57pm “I will admit to not being as devoted to Christianity as you are. After having read your blog I can see that you don’t approve of women being in a leadership [...]

    An Imaginary Conversation with a Female Missionary

    Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

    Now, I know I’m opening a can of worms here, but Pastor Mowery just wrote an extremely good article, and I wanted to share it with y’all. If you don’t like it, don’t read it, ok? But just so you know, inflammatory or other such attacking comments will not be posted. Like a friend of mine [...]

    Happy Birthday P. G. Wodehouse!

    Thursday, October 15th, 2009

    What-ho, everyone! What luck! In light of my recent obsession, I just learned that today is the birthday of the genius creator of Jeeves and Wooster, among other amazing characters. I say! So it’s a perfect time to watch another episode…or two! (We only have three left in the whole series. Sob!!! I’ll be sorry [...]

    A Rambling, Random Post

    Saturday, October 10th, 2009

    What ho, everyone! (Yes, our lives and vocab have been steeped in Wooster jargon as of late, the result of watching Jeeves and Wooster well, very frequently lately.) Today my brain is a nice pile of mush, after staying up late last night (as is the Friday night weekly ritual) eating things that are definately [...]

    “Very Good, Sir”…

    Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

    Ask me how I went twenty years of my life without P. G. Wodehouse, and I will reply that I haven’t the foggiest idea in the world. I had heard of him, of course, but I guess I associated him with the fantasy genre (something about the initials…you know, C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. [...]

    Well, We Did It….

    Thursday, October 1st, 2009

    We waited. And waited. It was killing us. At least we waited until October. Yes, we got out our copy of A Christmas Carol, which as I spoke of last year in my “first Christmas movie of the year” post is our very favorite Christmas movie and the one we watch to kick off our [...]
