There and Back Again: ’70s Memories

My parents bought a farm near the small town where Dad grew up. After spending a summer Saturday there planting a garden (I only remember doing this a few times), painting the barn (we only did this once, and I was not much help) or sweeping the cabin (a creepy, run-down log house used for storage and inhabited by rodents, snakes and wasps), we would end the day by driving … [Read more...]

Enchanté

One of the first things I learned in French was how to introduce and greet people.If I were introduced to an older woman, I could respond with, "Je suis très heureuse de faire votre connaissance" ("I'm very happy to make your acquaintance").

Intertwining Lives

“Do we need to be here?”I posed that question at TheHighCalling.org (THC) today. It originated with Simple Country Girl, actually. She was kind of thinking out loud in the comments last week, wondering if she “needs” to be in cyberspace, or if flesh-and-blood relationships are the ones we really need to invest in.But we read an amazing story by Brock Henning, describing … [Read more...]
