Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

Do you see what this is?  It’s my planner/calendar back up and running!  I cannot tell you how happy I am!  I have been out of my element for days without my planner, and I am so grateful to have it back.  A big, big thanks to our friend Sven, computer-guy extraordinaire, for getting my planner…

     Yesterday was Corin and Rob’s 7th wedding anniversary.  Several times during the day I reflected back on the years since their marriage.  Most of my reflecting, of course, centered on the four beautiful grand children that have been born in the last seven years!  We came home from church late yesterday afternoon and settled…

No big trips planned for this week.  In fact, we will be trying to get back into our normal, homeschool weekly routine.  It will be nice to just be at home for most of the week! We’re using up some things from the freezer (the trout, for example), and we’re using quite a few eggs, too. …

Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest Proverbs 6: 6-8       We’ve had plenty of opportunity to consider the ant in the last twenty four hours.  I’m not…

We took our last-of-the-summer fishing trip today!  We had the rare treat of having Corin and her family join  us!!!  We had a very early start, meeting along the road a little after 7:00, and travelling together for a couple of hours up into the hills. The guys fished all morning, and we gals enjoyed…

Our wonderful pediatrician saw both boys today.  They were, of course, found to be healthy and quite fit; but they are very silly!!!  While we were waiting for the doctor to come in, we found more things to laugh about!  At one point, Aaron was laughing so hard he had tears on his cheeks!  In fact,…

It struck me, as I was making up our menu for the week and putting it onto a cute calendar for the front of our fridge, that we were going to be eating out a lot this week.  With a trip to town tomorrow mid-day for doctor’s appointments, and two special day trips, I guess…
