The ongoing adventures of the Thomas family at Chenoweth Farm
We are not Catholics. Although I have been to Roman Catholic services, I (and my family) find their fundamental doctrines flawed and in some ways containing serious error. Nevertheless, on May 17th, we will stand with, and pray for, this Catholic rebellion.
The video is short, to the point and very well done. I urge you to watch it. It lays out Continue reading “Catholic Rebellion”
Sorry, hun- we need to do politics for a moment. Royal politics, that is.
I have a question, and a sincere one, for all of you out there who truly believe that hope and change must mean bigger (= trillions in 
debt) government. Please point out to me the single example worldwide of a successful, growing economy run by a king. No, I don’t mean Continue reading “My wife won’t like this”
This is one reason we home school.
See anything odd about this ad? This was in a webpage where click responses pay for the music, so communicating the correct information is important. Did the person who created this ad simply: Continue reading “Uh… what?”
Did you watch it? I’m serious– watch it.
If you still haven’t, you must understand that a tital wave of something is crashing over you, and you don’t even know what it is. This massive, unstoppable force will drown you unless you learn to deal with it.
One more time… watch it. Continue reading “Change”
On Saturday, April 4, at 1:30 in the afternoon, 13 guests gathered at our home to experience Serena’s class project for “Tea Room 101”. This is a half-credit class which has included 5 sessions with Debra Richardson, the proprietor of The Yellow Carriage House Bed and Breakfast (who also conducts periodic teas), and work assisting her with teas in December. Although Serena has put on at least 5 high teas before, this was the first on which she was to be graded, and therefore Mom kept her own help to a minimum. Serena had her friend Caitlin come to help with last minute preparations and serving during the tea. I was the official hostess — getting to greet guests, sit at the table and enjoy scrumptious treats, and leave all the cleanup to Serena and Caitlin. I like this kind of entertaining!

We FELT like archeologists, and we certainly did a lot of unearthing as Lydia, Serena, and I spent most of the day Monday turning Ben Allen and Emily’s cluttered mudroom into a usable space once more. I didn’t think to take any “before” pictures, but you family members know what it was like — barely room to walk through it to the garage. Continue reading “Thomas Archeologist Trio Unearths Mudroom!”
No, really! Well…I put something in his ear and set THAT on fire. Continue reading “I set my husband on fire, mwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!”
Gotta love this!
YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2009 when…
1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.
2. You haven’t played solitaire with real cards in years.
3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.
4. You e-mail Continue reading “Living in 2009”
This is not the post I thought I would be writing two or three weeks ago. After reading the following paragraph, perhaps you will be forced to confront the uphappy truth that I have now realized: our country only has one president at a time, and the one we’ve got is the one we’ve got.
BARACK OBAMA
Perhaps it’s just some Obama ally speaking out of school. But these are probably some of the most terrifying words to come from an unidentified source in some time:
Sources close to the White House say Mr Obama and his staff have been “overwhelmed” by the economic meltdown and have voiced concerns that the new president is not getting enough rest.
Geraghty goes on Continue reading “Prayer for the President”
Serena’s art is going to the dogs….in a manner of speaking. Her art tutor had her playing around with different shades of red and red-brown on brown paper, as a break from oil painting (in which she is doing extremely well, by the way). Serena chose a picture of a dog’s head to experiment on. Continue reading “Artist in Residence”
