A New Project
I am officially on break now! What a great feeling. Though the spring semester was awesome in many ways, it had some challenges and by the time it was over, I was exhausted both physically and mentally. I have three weeks to rest before summer school begins. Some of you have asked about the writing deadline that I mentioned in my last post. I was writing a short magazine article about what it is like to be a visually impaired…

April’s Five Fabulous Finds
RENTTHERUNWAY Anyone who knows me knows that fashion is not my deal. A comfy pair of jeans and an over-sized shirt are my idea of personal style. So why did I include this, a website where one goes to rent designer dresses, as one of my Five Fabulous Finds this month? Sometimes it is fun to venture into foreign lands even if we feel a little ridiculous doing so. Offspring No. 1 introduced me to RENTTHE RUNWAY. She is a fashion…

Obsessive Knitting
It’s not Christmas or any one’s birthday but I have spent a lot of time knitting over the last couple of weeks – at least a lot of time for me. I don’t have as much time to play with my sticks and string as I would like. But as I said, over the last two weeks I have been knitting obsessively. We’ve eaten out every breakfast, lunch and dinner for two weeks, worn the same pair of socks and…
Prayer as Art as Prayer
Saturday is usually our chore and errand day but today we decided to make it a “date day.” The cleaning, laundry and grocery shopping will get done eventually. Today was a day to enjoy the beautiful weather and each other. We rode the DART train which gave Weber a break from the stress of driving in Dallas. Imagine my surprise when I ran into one of my students on the train! We headed downtown to the Asian…
One Cannot Live By Bread Alone
One also needs a cat! We shared a simple Easter meal for nine at our house. Simple means that we had black bean soup, chicken tortilla soup, a fresh green salad and warm homemade bread. That is about all we could muster after our Holy Week and Easter obligations at church. The weather turned dismal about the time everyone was on their way here. This delayed their arrival by a while. I tried to have everything ready so that we…
March’s Five Fabulous Finds
I just realized that I apparently have commitment issues! You may remember that back on the 29th of February, despite having stayed home from school that day because I was really pretty sick, I proclaimed that I was going to start a “regular” post at the end of each month entitled “Five Fabulous Finds.” Well, it is now the third day of April and you may have noticed that the month of March has passed by and I failed to…
