Yum?

  There are a lot of subscription box services out right now and Bill decided to jump on the bandwagon too.  Ours is from Universal Yums which delivers snacks and candies from a different country each month.  Our box contained the following items from Korea: Peanut Squid Balls Choco Boy Haitai Plum Candy Choco Heim […]


Speech Tournament

Picking up where we left off after the first speech meet, Walker competed at two more meets.  The after photos for the first three meets all look basically the same:  Walker is standing with a First Place ribbon. When it came time for the tournament, each school only had a limited number of representatives they […]


A Date with Mason

When I learned that Bill and Walker would be camping with the scouts this weekend, I wanted to do something special with Mason.  I bought tickets for the two of us to see Charlotte’s Web at the Nashville Children’s Theatre and planned to make a day of it.  I investigated a new restaurant that I […]


The Evolution of a Wigwam

Once again it’s time for the culminating project for the fourth grade unit about Native American Indians living in and near Indiana.  Looking now at the pictures, it’s clear that Mason and Olan had a vision for how their wigwam would look. They employed creativity, craft and recycled materials and lots of glue.  That house […]


Walking in Wesselman Woods

Our Fall cub scout hike took place at Wesselman Woods Nature Preserve.  I hate to admit this but I had no idea the gem that it was.  It is located on the back side of Wesselman Park behind a patch of trees, a parking lot, a big grassy area and a few picnic shelters.  I […]


Wee S’mores

I had been looking for a way to satisfy my baking craving when I read a request in the church bulletin for volunteers to provide snacks and treats for the RCIA meetings.  When I looked in the pantry for inspiration and found ingredients for s’mores, I remembered this recipe.  It was perfect! I used the […]


Jack-o-Lantern Parade

Would it be a Selby Halloween without a yard full of carved pumpkins?  All those pumpkins yielded close to 14 cups of roasted pumpkin seeds. 


10/27 :: The Bowl

Today was our last day in Washington DC and the final day of the convention as well.  Our reason for staying through the end is always the James W. Bass Pediatric Bowl where residency programs compete for the coveted Meconium Cup.  From start to finish, this is the fun side of pediatrics.  Think Jeopardy with […]


10/26 :: Game On!

Arlington National Cemetery was an easy Uber ride from the condo although it did show us that traffic is alive and well in Washington DC.  Autumn made her presence known with fall foliage and cooler temperatures.  In some ways, the chill in the air complemented the solemnity of the destination.  Our tram tour took us […]


10/25 :: Sweet Surprises

(click the link for photo credit) Today we had only one place to be at a specific time and that was Mass at 9 AM.   We left with enough time and arrived at St. Mary Mother of God Church early.  We situated ourselves in the pew and listened as a group recited the rosary in […]
