By that new group, Queen?

Many years ago, when Wayne’s World first came out, you might remember there was a scene in that movie that revitalized the Queen classic, “Bohemian Rhapsody“.    I don’t remember exactly where we were living then (Minot, maybe?) but I clearly remember that one night a young man called the radio station and asked the DJ to play, [...]


Snowklahoma

Well, as I look out my window, at the sunny day, with a temp of almost sixty degrees, its hard to believe the weathermen have forecasted a winter storm tonight, complete with freezing rain, tons of ice, and 4 to 7 inches of snow.  Really? But in case they are right, its good to have [...]


Moments in time ….

A few weeks ago, I thought the funniest thing I had ever heard was a group of eleven year old boys, belting out “Jenny/867-5309″ as loudly as they could in my van. Today, driving down the road, I think the five twelve-year old girls singing “The Hairbrush Song” from Veggie Tales at the top of [...]

So, it goes without saying, since Kellen started playing in February, and Kendrie started in April, that the Escoe portion of the recital was over in the first five minutes. Kendrie is so new [...]


THE PLAYLIST, PART 1

And the reason I say Part 1 is because in between the suggestions of my friends, and the browsing I did on iTunes, I have enough songs to make a whole ‘nother cd, it was just really late the other night and I was getting tired and lazy. But Part 2 is definitely on it’s [...]


SHE’S A BUTTERFLY. APPARENTLY HE IS TOO.

Kendrie — Day 242 Off-Treatment Blaine — Count down has begun; 29 days until we find out how well the radiation worked. A few months ago, I bought the new Pink CD. Brayden promptly fell in love with the song “Stupid Girl”, and while I agree with the overall message of the song — no [...]
