Have you ever read M.C. Beaton? She has a Hamish MacBeth series of whodunnit type of murder mysteries. That’s what I’ve been reading lately. Today I received in a mail a book from a friend. It’s called Becoming Who God Intended, by David Eckman. I will start on that one too. I like to read […]
The solar car story of God’s answer to our prayers should be remembered and passed on to generations to come. Elliot started the Walnut High School Solar Car Team in October, 2004, his junior year. They have nine months to build a life-size car from scratch in order to participate in the Dell-Winston Solar Car […]
“We will not hide them from their children; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done… Then they would put their trust in God and would not forget his deeds but would keep his commands” Ps 78 It’s a curse and a blessing […]
Here’s another of Amy’s signature meatloaves. You could call this a meatflower. People from all over the world are ordering these designer meatloaves from us. Send me your order today before these limited edition meatloaves are all sold!
Meatloaf doesn’t have to be a loaf. You might say it’s a meatdog. This was especially shaped by Amy for Audrey’s birthday last year, 2005.
The VeggieTales version of the book of Esther in the Bible is the best! Their version of Jonah in the Bible is great too. What I like about VeggieTales is their accurate interpretation of the message in those two books of the Bible. While there are multiple lessons to be gained from every Bible account, […]
I did not like growing up with a last name that no one can pronounce correctly on the first try. In a 99% white neighborhood, the Chinese surname Leung was strange. I was tired of having to explain it, spell it, correct it and still, the sound apparently does not exist in the English language. […]
I am happy when my husband and children are happy. I see people remain faithful to God in the midst of difficult circumstances. dots connect with amazing coincidences and everything turns out well. someone shows interest in knowing more about Jesus. I finish something by the deadline. my client is appreciative of my hard work […]
Last Friday, Audrey and I spent our annual mother-daughter overnighter at the Hyatt Regency in Irvine. I’ve used Expedia.com to book hotels numerous times. This time I tried Priceline.com. What price should I enter? I definitely wanted nothing less than four stars, their highest rating. The Marriot and Hyatt was being offered on Expedia.com for […]
It is the resurrection of Christ that makes all the difference for us. This is from Gary Bauer‘s End of the Day Report for today: It Is Finished! As we approach the Easter holiday, this is a good time to reflect on exactly what it is that we as Christians are celebrating. And it’s not […]
Another 49-cent movie yesterday – we watched Memoirs of a Geisha. I read the book a while back, and knew what to expect. I don’t like to be surprised in movies. I am scared of surprises and bad endings. The movie was nicely done. The cruel and sex parts of the books were not overplayed, […]
Just what I need At the 98 cents or more store, Audrey spotted this ice cream scoop, apparently for gangsters. Look closely at the yellow starburst on the label. It says, “Bullet Proof Plastic.” Just what I need! In case the ice cream gets attacked, the scoop will save the ice cream for safe consumption. […]
Jump! On Monday, I went with Audrey and her 2 friends, Nicolette and Emmeline, to Little Tokyo. Our adventure began with taking the Metrolink from Walnut to downtown Union Station. How nice it was not to have to drive. The train was smooth, fast, and convenient. Union Station is like an airport with signs and […]
Have you seen Chicken Little, the Disney movie version? There is a place in Walnut that rents DVDs for $1 a day. On Tuesdays, it’s only 49 cents! Mike rented Chicken Little for 49 cents. It is a cute movie with some life lessons: Don’t assume something can’t happen just because you think it can’t […]
Amy’s Crazy Hair Day On Saint Patrick’s Day, Amy’s school had Crazy Hair Day. I did her hair with little ponytails on one side of her head. I thought it looked cute! A lot of the students sprayed their hair green. What fun it is to be a kid!
When the fig tree does not bud, and there are no grapes on the vines; when the olive trees do not produce, and the fields yield no crops; when the sheep disappear from the pen,and there are no cattle in the stalls, I will rejoice because of the Lord; I will be happy because of […]
peace on earth lots of hugs and kisses from my family and friends a rabbit, preferably a baby rabbit, preferably from an indoor home (vs. kept outdoor in a cage) We got a gray 6-week old baby bunny from Billy Joe, my friend Barbara’s workout instructor at 24-Hour Fitness (a medium to medium-large dog, preferably […]
Amy told me these jokes yesterday. I still laugh at these old jokes!! Patient: Doctor, will I be able to play the piano when I get well? Doctor: Sure you will. Patient: Great! I was never able to play before. 🙂 How do you know carrots are good for your eyes? Well, have you ever […]
My outside-the-home job is real estate. As a real estate agent, the best part of the job is meeting nice people. Last week, my friend/client introduced me to his co-worker to help him buy a house. He is a very nice young man. He told me he is the youngest of five children – the […]
The fifth grade classes in Amy’s school has been suffering from flu-go-round. Almost every child is getting a turn. Amy’s class had 8 students out sick. Her friend Casey’s class had 15 students absent on one day! That’s got to be a record of some sort. Amy was among the casulty. It started with fever, […]
