Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

     Please prayerfully consider how you might participate in this year’s Riverbend Ranch Charity Carnival.  All proceeds from this year’s carnival will go directly to the Davis Family Education Fund.              The easiest and most beneficial way for those at a distance to participate is found here.             I know that it’s…

          Yesterday’s wonderful, cool southwesterly breeze changed to a strong, hot, dry north wind today.  My front yard is littered with small, young tree branches that have broken out of the trees.  We really can’t open up much of the house today because the wind blows things around too much inside.      …

      The entire day.  All of it.  The full 24 hours.  I was HOME!!!  Oh, it was delightful beyond measure!  It has been about ten days since I’ve been home for an entire day.  I was busy preparing for our vacation, and then we were gone.  We were home Friday, but enjoyed some wonderful time with…

     The girls and I enjoy keeping our photo blog.  My girls take great pictures, but they let me play along, too.  It is our practice that each of us post our pictures in a private format when we have them ready at the end of the week.  The last of us to post then makes all three…

           I know I say that when I am home a lot, and I mean it then, too.  Today was blessedly full, but in a very different way.  Our vacation continued with a full day, open to close, at Disneyland.  The park is closing early these days, and we found out from an…

     We were up at 5:00 a.m. this morning.  All of us!  The animals were fed.  The balance of our stuff was loaded into the van.  One last check was made of the house, and we were off.  The front gate closed behind us at 6:03 a.m.  We were on our way.  This vacation has…

      Last week’s menu was rather dull, don’t you think?  Ha!  If you think THAT was dull wait until you see this week’s menu.    Monday:     Breakfast:  Lemon Crumb Muffins (from the freezer stash) and bottled orange juice, to be eaten in our van, of all places!     Lunch:  I haven’t a clue     Dinner:  Not sure…
