A Short Play from a Summer Day

S has graciously invited N over for arm wrestling and water on a delightful June afternoon.  N has been going on about how awesome her fedora is - how one simple piece makes her as stylish and as dance-y as Chris Brown is.  S observes this is true.  

 S, weary of her own non-hat-wearing status, going to the bathroom, and the prospect of losing yet another arm wrestling match, desperately suggests another activity.

 S:  N, let's walk to Castro.
N:  Ok.
S:  Brings floppy hat and newsboy cap.  Let's BOTH wear hats!  Which one looks better?
N:  Stares in disbelief at hat choices.  Well......................................... keeps staring at hat choices.  Do you want to be a farmer or a train conductor?
S:  Thinks about the next few weeks she'll spend in Taiwan's countryside.  (Firmly) A farmer.

Shine Into Our Night - Sovereign Grace Music

Image
There is something therapeutic for me in typing out lyrics... We are not what we should be We haven't sought what we should seek We've seen Your Glory, Lord...but looked away Our hearts are bent, our eyes are dim Our finest works are stained with sin An emptiness has shadowed all our ways Jesus Christ Shine into our night Drive our dark away... Till Your Glory fills our eyes Jesus Christ Shine into our night Bind us to your cross Where we find light Still we often go astray We chase the world forget Your grace But You have never failed to bring us back Reveal the depths of what You've done The death you died, the victory won You've made a way for us to know your love Written by Joel Sczebel

"Choir" Voice of Yamaha DGX-530

There is something magical emanating from the sound of voices singing together.  Though it's digitalized on this portable electronic grand piano, the "Choir" voice sounds beautiful!   One of my fave things:  the keys on the right sound like female voices and the left like male voices...as the notes move toward middle C, the voices sound androgynous and mystical..I want to describe the sound as transcendental...  The peacefulness I feel when listening reminds me of how I feel listening to Celtic Woman . (Technical frustration:  Blogger isn't letting me upload the video from my phone - rather, below video went from phone --> computer --> Blogger!)

Candied Pecans

Image
While I was preparing the "Community" lesson for Junior Achievement , I decided I wanted candied pecans.  Usually, I like them accompanied by spinach and fruit, but I don't have spinach, and though I have fruit, I know candied pecans taste good on their own.   So I made a few with honey and cinnamon on a pan. Yep.  Just a few.  Yep.  I was still hungry.
