Whole Wide World

So we played another song this weekend.

My youngest started out the song and then proceeded to spin around and sporadically participate until it was over. This caused me to look distracted the whole time, as I was concerned that he would fall over after he spun around 30 times. It is amazing that I played any correct notes.

Next week we’re hoping that my oldest son will join us for a song. I, for one, hope that he’ll throw down on Proud Mary. He probably won’t — but a girl can dream.

S.O.S.
I need help. And, I know that you might be thinking, “Girl, with your life, we’re going to need you to be more specific.” True.

I need advice on what to serve for a Women in the Church luncheon at our church. We’re having a few lectures on a Saturday in early February and I have to admit that I’m stymied by this whole thing. Usually I don’t feel so confused when it comes to food. But I want this to be good and I want the ladies to enjoy it. Also, I don’t have a lot of money to work with.

So do I go with traditional luncheon food…like chicken salad, cucumber sandwiches, marinated salads and fruit?

Should I go with something brunch-like….quiche, fruit, muffins, bacon?

Should I make it a soup and salad thing…..corn chowder, broccoli salad and a roll. How about tortilla soup, a green salad and corn muffins?

Or maybe a baked potato bar with assorted toppings, salad and a roll?

What would you serve if you were in my position?

Help, PLEASE!!

Wacky Dreaming
“So, you know, it really was an okay dream. The only part that was mildly disturbing was when I lost my pet weevil in a box of Ritz crackers and couldn’t find him among the other weevils. Oh, and he was four inches long.” — direct quote from Barlow male

These boys I live with have crazy dreams every night. I don’t. If I’d had a dream about a pet weevil that was lost in a box of Ritz crackers……
