Whimsy is…

teaching bookkeeping

To my older daughters that is. I was looking for a cheat sheet online to double check a journal entry I was making and came upon this handy dandy free bookkeeping course. I haven’t looked all the way through it, but it is leaving me with a good impression.
Since we really hope our […]

a little aggravated with Firefox

I still love ‘em and all. If you’re still using Internet Explorer - run, don’t walk to download Firefox. It’s really that much better. Once you start tabbed browsing, there’s no going back. BUT (and you knew there was a but) they upgrade all the time and it messes with my […]

conducting her orchestra

JavaDawn wrote a post yesterday that could only be from God. At first I didn’t truly appreciate the full meaning of what He was telling me through it. But as He kept bringing it back to mind to digest a little more and a little more (yep, like a cow chewing her cud) […]

building a crane

well not me. I can’t even put simple things together with directions. But whimsyboy has been all about cranes lately. He really wanted a big one he could play on. He’s been making drawings and rigging up things here at the shop (which thankfully did NOT involve tampons)

starting ‘em early

whimsybaby is at the age where she wants to be doing what everybody else is doing. This makes for some kiss her whole face worthy cuteness.
Example 1 - I was (re)knitting some socks on New Years Day. She really really wanted to help. Working a lace pattern with size 2 needles is […]

from Missouri

I got this from my sister. I had to edit it in a few places.

If your local Dairy Queen is closed from November through March, you might live in Missouri.
If someone in a store offers you assistance & they don’t work there, you might live in Missouri .
If your dad’s suntan stops at a […]

hard hearted

I had no idea. I would not have described myself that way, but the Father pointed it out to me this morning. It’s right there in His word. (emphasis mine)
Mark 6:50-52
Immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” 51Then he climbed into the boat with them, […]
