What I've been working on

Daniel's high school graduation is tomorrow evening. With such a momentous occasion comes lots of hard work; there are clothes to iron, pictures to takes, diplomas to print, and announcements to mail...

My biggest task was the announcements... So for several afternoons and evenings, I curled up with some of my favorite superheroes to finish the work.

The graduate wasn't ignoring the work, however... He folded announcements diligently despite being laid up...

We can't wait for tomorrow!

Stormy Weather

Sometimes when it rains...

it pours.

While playing in the rain...

My best Deadpool impression... or maybe peanuts...

Daniel likes to play in the rain too :O)

The Raindrops keep fallin' on my head

Weather in Morgantown has been pretty drippy lately...
but one learns to love it!

Quote of the Day

"Why couldn't Clark play Spock?" - Batman as Spock

"You have the ears; just go with it, sir." - Alfred as an expendable crewman?

(gun shot)
"I like this ship."
(gun shot)
"It's exciting!"
(gun shot) - Deadpool as Scotty

Summer Reading - Part 1

No more pencils!
No more books!
No more teacher's dirty looks!

Um... on second thought... scratch the second one.

I love to read. Unfortunately, because of my college reading and responsibilities, I often neglect my own reading. Often when summer time arrives, I cannot stand the thought or sight of a book! However, Providence this year has decreed that I should once again pick up some good ol' friends...

Some Graphic Novels... And the DC Universe

Comics, more graphic novels, and the Marvel Universe

Fantasy, historical fiction w/a twist, and another graphic novel

concerning the Holocaust

Yes. It's lovely to read again.

Quotes of the Day

"Robinson, you STINK!"


"Still no Crusoe?"
"Yes, yes... He's right there. Dancing on the beach. He's been doing it all day. I just CHOSE NOT TO MENTION IT!"

-- These quotes are in no way meant to be connected.

LONG LIVE CRUSOE!

After the Ball is Over

Part 4 of a Ball Series

The Morgantown and Fairmont homeschool groups are full of wonderful, godly people! When it came time to clean up after the ball, everyone pitched in to tidy the firehall. Even the folks from the South, who had traveled much farther, lended us a hand.We couldn't be more grateful for all their help.
