The New Year

   Sorry I haven't written in a while, the craziness of the last week of the year has finally hit us. We're trying to balance the new play rehearsals that are going on, the last minute babysitting jobs that pop up when people realize we don't do anything or go anywhere...

Vincent's New Baby... ahem... I Mean, Car.

As your probably guess by the title, Vince has finally bought himself a car, and at long last I can have my bike back that he had to use all year to get to work since he crashed his. He simply adores...

The Big Winter Storm

We were supposed to be getting up to 2 feet of snow yesterday, complete with black ice, blizzard and below freezing temperatures. We were all getting ready for it with shovels and sand.  Looking at the weather forecast we saw a huge storm cloud headed our way. But through...

Macbeth and the "Curse"

While I was finishing up one of my interviews I thought of one more question that had had me wondering for a while. Without thinking about where I was I blurted out the question, “Why is every one so crazy about the word Macbeth?” Thru-out my short experience with the theatre I was told that Macbeth...

Snow Insulation and Tabitha's Indefatigability

  Every winter my mom sends us out to the back yard to pack snow up against the back of the house. It's supposed to keep the house a little warmer than it already is. So yesterday my sisters and I crammed ourselves into our snow-pants, shoved our heads in hats and headed out...

Glasses of Water

 Ok, so I want you to try something. Its really very easy. Just place a glass of water on the window sill for each child, sibling or family member in your house. Now look at them, realizing that...

"Working" on Another Play

My brother and Dad just got into another musical at our local civic theatre called "Working". I'm happy for them. I am gearing up for the next 3 months of sending them off to rehearsals while I sit...

Favorite Quotes

"We can always try to do better. To be better. To right a wrong. Even when it feels irreversible. Of course, I'm sorry doesn't always cut it. Maybe because we use it so many different ways. As a weapon. As an excuse. But, when we are really sorry, when we use it right. When we mean it. When our actions...

Bad Roads

Wow! We are literally buried in snow! There is up to 4 feet now. Because we live next to the lake we get whats called Lake Effect snow that likes to blow over us and make us non-existent. Somehow we persevere though. With our strong snowploughs, quick road sanders and tiny but effective sidewalk...

Clutz

We were all sitting around the table in the kitchen eating dinner when Dad told Rachel to run in the other room and put a sweater on because she looked so cold sitting there. So Rachel obediently got up and walked into the other room. We heard a thump and then silence but we didnt think anything of...

Sunrise in December

 I woke up to this gorgeous sunrise yesterday. Sadly I couldn't get the best part of it because by the time I found the camera it was nearly all finished. I will try...

Snow

Ok. I guess I should have been ready for it. I mean its December already! But I think I was hoping that maybe it just wouldn't come this year. Or the next, or the next... What exactly does snow do for us? Really. We have to wake up at 5 in the morning to shovel the drive, take a full half...
