Parting is so sad…

So the other morning I woke up and when the mirror came into focus Wisdom told me about the day in front of me…
 I HAD OLD PEOPLE’S HAIR!!!
It was as if I had dreamt about Moses, having a very bad hair day himself. What did he care? He was already old. Somewhere in the wilderness [...]

For consideration…

Well, I’ve been too busy to post something here for awhile. But it appears this may be my 60th posting since I started practising writing for this thing called a BLOG. My thoughts and attempts at prose are basically scattered, not earth shattering, and certainly for this post none too profound.
After a hotter than usual weekend [...]

Flying into December

 
Whew … I haven’t looked on this blog site of mine in awhile. My ictus has been up for way too long, and it’s about time it came down. Seriously.
We went to Texas for Thanksgiving and an extended visit with my side of the family. What a fantastic time! Also got to reconnect with some [...]

Where’s my Ictus?

This week’s rehearsal for the Village Children’s Choir just happened to land on Halloween.
I wasn’t quite sure what to do, as it is not as celebrated a custom here as where I grew up. All my years of teaching music in America, we music teachers were known to go over the top of the [...]

Deb’s Pumpkin Tartlets (Thanks to Libby’s & Waitrose!)

 
Every year around Harvest Sunday I am asked by friends if it’s true that Americans make pumpkin pies. They want to know what they taste like, not quite sure if the pies are a savoury affair or sweet. Our first year in London I could not find Libby’s Solid Pack Pumpkin — I was still [...]

Harvest Thanks and Church Gardens

As is their custom, they collect and bring home grown veg and fruits, tinned goods, biscuits, pastas, and other goods for donations. During their service they lay their gifts up at the altar. Afterwards, [...]

Welcome to Notes from Deb!

Welcome to my new blog site. I thought it was about time for a change! Plus there are some features with WordPress that I really like. With this blog I could easily add a Calendar and some special pages, such as the Repertoire page. The TNIV Daily Bible is still easy to use — just place your cursor [...]

Autumn blowin’ in!

Well, things have been really busy, and that was just the summer!! I honestly cannot comprehend how people with full lives have the time to constantly update things like Facebook or Blogs.
In honour of my Darlin’ Pup, who is aged 10 today, here is my feeble attempt at updating.

Our Village Children’s Choir will [...]

Children and Faith in Nothing

We have lovely children in our village. Not only are they polite and considerate of others, they play well together. They are on their bikes and horses, enjoying the sunshine we have finally been having these past few days. (Thankfully our area is not in a flood plain, or we would easily have had a [...]
