This and That

(Ryan photographed this rose on a recent walk.)

This week flew by and Christmas is getting closer and closer!  It took me a while to get over that cold (or whatever it was) I caught last week, and then Rhys got it, too.  Everyone’s back to normal now and ready to celebrate my dad’s 70th birthday this weekend!

I tweaked my blog a little more.  I know, I know.  But I’m really trying to focus on my writing, and I want that to be what you see when you visit.  I moved my photo to my About page, and I created a new page for all of my friends’ blog buttons, as well as the blogging organizations I support.  Feel free to swap your blog button with me if you aren’t up there already.

Here are some things that interested me this week.

I’m a huge fan of This American Life’s Ira Glass, but now I’m really concerned for the guy.  And his safety.  Here’s why.

An historic wedding at West Point’s Cadet Chapel.

And a funny story from my local paper, which leads nicely into this.  If you’ve never read the entire piece, do it now and smile. “Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond.”  So lovely!

Have a wonderful weekend!
