Ok maybe this is a tad bit of a stretch to connect this story with “energy transformation” but I keep thinking of that concept I wrote about back HERE, and this picture my mom sent us all a little while back reminded me of that same idea: You see, there’s…
I think there is so much beauty in memorization. And having to perform what you memorized in front of someone else. Growing up we memorized quotes, poems or scriptures every week right along with our jobs and “point” system (check that out HERE if you want some deliberate parenting entertainment:).…
The school nurse from the junior high asked me to bring Lucy in one morning before school started for her vision check. It was strange to be in that echoy school, all the front office so sweet and happy to see Lucy again. I figured they had called us in…

For my future grandkids who may be reading this and wondering how 2020 actually went down, this is interesting information. In the midst of the debate about in-person vs. online school, volleyball (and the rest of school sports) were also heavily debated. Could they play? Should they play? Would it…
