  • A new do

    A new do

    I now have very short hair. So, after almost 2 years of growing my hair, I finally had enough to cut off and donate. This is the second time I’ve grown my hair over 10 inches long, and I’m not sure if I’ll do it again for a while. I like how I feel like [...]

    A lazy afternoon at Grandfather’s

    Done with the paper, done with grades – done! Now, before we drive back to Madison, I’m going to spend a long, lazy afternoon at Grandfather’s. We already moved and watered some geraniums, so there’s not much left but to kick back and enjoy the beautiful weather. If I had a useful book to read, [...]

    Well, here it is. I guess I have to thank Charlie for creating yet another place for me to express myself in a virtual setting. Another place for me to spend time not spent on my dissertation proposal or class work. Another place to ramble without meaning. So, thank you. That said, I really should [...]

    Mother’s Day 2010

    Since today is Mother’s Day I wanted to write a little post about my mom—the “Holden” in our “Holden-Corbett.”  When I talked with her today she was visiting Grandfather and helping him around the house and in the garden.  Before that she was staying with Leah, Walter and Sylvie and helping out there.  When she’s [...]
