vowelisland: February 2013
http://vowelisland.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 18, 2013. What were we thinking? We had a moment of weakness. Maybe it's the lack of sleep or the cold winter months going to our brains. In the midst of all the sickness in our house we have added 4 more members to the family. It all started when Emma wanted a fish. Seems innocent enough, right? And so now we have 2 parents, 4 children, 1 dog, 2 fish, and 2 steppe runners. Who knows, next it may be chickens! Not kidding, I've been wanting chickens for a long time now! My body ached, I l...

vowelisland: That time of year again
http://vowelisland.blogspot.com/2013/04/that-time-of-year-again.html
Wednesday, April 10, 2013. That time of year again. It's that time of year again. The weather is getting warmer, trees are in bloom, and the kids are playing outside. Spring Fever! Every year it happens to me. I get to this point in our school year and I am so ready for it to be over. I am ready to think about school for next year, but I must press forward and finish well. Even the kids are ready to throw in the towel! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Friday Fellowship - Renee Crosse.

vowelisland: December 2011
http://vowelisland.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 24, 2011. I thought it would be fun to look through our family photos from Christmas past and share them with you! It's always fun to get a good laugh (2002 shows that short hair is not for me! And to see how the kids have grown. There are no pics prior to 2001 because I didn't have a digital camera then and really I don't feel like messing with the scanner! 2001 (Isaiah is almost 4 months old;our nephew is also in this pic). 2003 (Emma was SO tiny at only 20 days old). Now that the bi...

This blog needs a cool name: I can't believe I'll be teaching in this room this semester
http://joycehasthingstosay.blogspot.com/2011/08/i-cant-believe-ill-be-teaching-in-this.html
This blog needs a cool name. Thursday, August 25, 2011. I can't believe I'll be teaching in this room this semester. I think the students are going to be a little distracted. Heck, I think I'm going to be a little distracted. I mean, the view out the windows is something like this:. And the building looks like this:. Unfortunately (not really) I sleep in a different building. There's my front door in the center of the picture. I think it's going to be a good semester. August 25, 2011 at 3:22 PM.

This blog needs a cool name: Opening convocation and the High Table dinner
http://joycehasthingstosay.blogspot.com/2011/08/opening-convocation-and-high-table.html
This blog needs a cool name. Monday, August 29, 2011. Opening convocation and the High Table dinner. We processed down the Cedar Staircase behind the bagpiper, Billy James:. Here's a better picture of Billy:. Listening to the convocation speech in the Long Gallery:. That evening, we missed the principal's reception in the Great Hall, because our fancy academic robes were locked in a closet and there was a little trouble finding the key. But we did make it to dinner in the Long Gallery. If Mama Ain't Happy.

http://joycehasthingstosay.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
This blog needs a cool name. Tuesday, April 27, 2010. To revive the poor, ignored, languishing blog. Today was the last day of classes! I gave an exam today! I already had over 3 inches of grading, before the exam! Maybe I should rethink my course schedule. I have plans for the summer though. Plans! And they may even be interesting enough to blog about. We'll see. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. The best part of summer. The Thistle: Where I'm From. If Mama Ain't Happy.

This blog needs a cool name: September 2011
http://joycehasthingstosay.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
This blog needs a cool name. Monday, September 5, 2011. And it's the first day of school! The first first day was back in August. They went to school for three whole days, and then we left for England-Germany-England. Here they are on their second first day. Don't they look so smart. Didn't take her long to pick up a little British! We had some special guests at the manor today. A group from The Old Vic. It was a brilliant. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

This blog needs a cool name: August 14-15: Germany, day 1
http://joycehasthingstosay.blogspot.com/2011/08/germany-day-1-aug-14-15.html
This blog needs a cool name. Saturday, August 27, 2011. August 14-15: Germany, day 1. Day one was loooooooooooooooong. In retrospect, we were a little nuts. Or I was, since I made the crazy decisions. It was a planes, trains and automobile day. Automobile: Drove to Evansville airport. Planes: Flew from Evansville to Detroit. Sat around for 3 hours. Flew from Detroit to London. Sat around for 6 hours. Flew from London to Frankfurt. Trains: Caught the train from Frankfurt to Bingen, which is on the Rhine.

This blog needs a cool name: Happy birthday to me!
http://joycehasthingstosay.blogspot.com/2011/05/happy-birthday-to-me.html
This blog needs a cool name. Tuesday, May 31, 2011. Happy birthday to me! I shopped for myself this year, and told everyone else not to bother. With perfect timing, both packages showed up on the doorstep this morning. That's one summer top for me (teal), one backpack for Kathryn (deep blue, from a pattern that's in the book), one summer top for Becca (the rest of the blues and the green), and one pretty dark red something - maybe a shawl - for me. At least, that's what they'll be someday.
