My mom is a big Glenn Beck fan, and almost faithfully watches him everyday at 5:00. Some time ago, she gave me his book, “Common Sense” to read. Well because of about 100 things going on at once in our household, I haven’t been able to read it until now.So...

My dad must have been one of those that never threw anything away, but he didn’t leave it out in the open either. Many years since he passed away, we are still finding treasures that he kept, almost hidden away! This past weekend, Enric and I were in the shed...

If you ever had a doubt that our representatives read the bills they sign into law, spending trillions of dollars, or if they really care about transparency about what is IN the bills they sign, let Pelosi answer this for you. In answer to the Health Care Bill, she says,...
Somehow, the following doesn’t meet my image of an Olympic Athlete: Drinking beer, champagne, and smoking cigars celebrating a win in plain view. I don’t know what was the message here… Canada’s top Olympic official sees no reason to put a damper on the women’s hockey team’s beer-swigging, cigar-smoking celebration...
“I place the economy among the first and most important virtues and public debt as the great danger to be feared. To preserve your independence, we must not let our leaders load us with perpetual debt. We mus t make our choice between economy and liberty or profusion and servitude.”...

From the Australian: …thanks to what now goes by the name of climategate, it turns out the real scandal lies elsewhere.

You might be interested to read the truth about the Founding Fathers — and how they would lead America today. This was a generation without equal, and it deserves to be rescued from the politically correct textbooks, teachers, and professors who want to dismiss the Founders as a cadre of...
Today we read in Laura’s American Literature book an excerpt from “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” by Jonathan Edwards. “All wicked men’s pains and contrivance they use to escape hell, while they continue to reject Christ, and so remain wicked men, do not secure them from hell,...
I am sorry, but when you stand in front of the world on national TV, and call a mom and decent lady a “slutty fight attendant”, or that they look like one, and you are sleeping with more than one of your staff in secret, I do believe there is...
Now here is an interesting idea. Have you taken photos and you want to share them with your friends, but haven’t downloaded them yet on your computer? You don’t want to use the small screen in the back of the camera either? Well, you can with the Nikon Coolpix S1000pj...
Once the late Julian Huxley, a leader among Darwinists, was asked on the Merv Griffin show, ‘Why do people believe in evolution?” Huxley honestly answered, “The reason we accepted Darwinism even without proof, is because we didn’t want God to interfere with our sexual mores.” According to I Don’t Have...

The title of this post surprised me at first. I don’t recall ever being taught MLK’s party affiliation in school. No doubt they don’t teach it now. To make sure, I checked and re-checked. According to Human Events: In that era, almost all black Americans were Republicans. Why? From its...
These days, the odds are good that the candy we buy comes from Mexico. From jellied hearts to chocolates, Mexico’s candy exports to the United States have more than doubled since 2002 as cheaper labor and sugar draw U.S. candy-makers south of the border. The latest candy company, Hershey’s. Why...
Yesterday I got a shocking reminder that life is very short… As you grow older, you’ll find the only things you regret are the things you didn’t do. ~Zachary Scott Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all the thousand...
Recently, Miranda sent me a lovely postcard from Wisconsin, so I put it together with Petra’s from Graceland and New Orleans. Also, I found an old one sent to me from Morocco and then I found one from the Mackinac Bridge, Niagara Falls, Washington D.C., and finally one from Baltimore....
This man, Kevin Skinner, came out on the show, Americas Got Talent, with his accent, his funny job (Chicken Catcher), his rough around the edges hat and clothes, and the panel of judges and audience had to surpress laughing at him. He soon had their serious attention with his guitar...
July 3rd, when Sarah Palin announced she was stepping down as governor of Alaska, I was surprised, but I didn’t think it was a huge news story. I guess I was wrong, because what has followed has been on all channels speculating as to why she would do such a...

AFL-CIO Union Execs Hold Winter Meeting at Luxury Miami Resort. In spite of how these executives felt about the bank execs who received bailout help, and in spite of union members losing their jobs, AFL-CIO execs will “party it up” in a luxury resort that room prices begin at $400...
A happy news story for a change, for star lovers that is. Words like “Starlight Reserve” and “Heritage Park in the Sky” are being used to describe New Zealand town, dedicated to keeping its lights down low to allow for the night stars to shine through. It’s already attracting “Astro...
When can you have the best connection, a strong signal, and the fastest speed tests ever with your internet, and still be stressed by your connection? Apparently something called packet loss. I did numerous speed tests, only to find that the speeds were amazingly fast: The speeds didn’t make sense...

“Liberty is rendered even more precious by the recollection of servitude.” ~Cicero Laura and I have resumed our regular schedule now that the holidays are truly over. Our history lesson today, to me, read something like our modern times…. “The transformation of Rome from an Italian city-state to the seat...
While Enric, Miranda, and Silas were here we couldn’t resist to have an early Christmas. After all, it’s a season, not just a day to me.
As an extra pre Christmas treat, I took everyone to La Tasca, located in Baltimore’s inner harbor. Around the holidays, my children grew up enjoying tapas, and I wanted to continue the tradition since we were all together. Silas was seated and looked ready for some different things to enjoy....
As a Christmas present to my mom, my children, and myself, I flew Enric, Miranda, and Silas in from Wisconsin to visit us! Silas is getting so big! Enric tinkered around the house and car to check things out that aren’t working 100% or at all. 🙂 Miranda and Silas
I think of the word love and wonder how much do we really understand love. One of my favorite hymms speaks of divine love. O love divine, amazing love That brought to earth from heav’n above The Son of God for us to die That we might dwell on high...
A rare video of Phil Keaggy with his song, Time, which has thought-provoking lyrics. Well He hasn’t always been around And He won’t always be. But He’s on the move at this moment Measuring life for you and me. I fear we all submit to him Existing anxiously, And no...
