Opening Weekend…decent weather

It was great to see a lot of fellow campers this past weekend for the opening of the 2013 camping season!  It was pretty populated for being the first weekend open.  A lot of the campers used the weekend for just bringing their units in and getting them set-up.  Others already had them set up and were there to enjoy the socialization of the camp season!  Unfortunately the water softeners weren’t serviced in time for the opening weekend.  But I am told that they will be operational by Thursday (11th)!

Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium

We pulled in about 2pm on Friday afternoon…there were a number of campers already there and many more to follow yet that day and still more on Saturday.  Lots of busy people working on the units, their lots, their socializing…lol.  We had scheduled a “Welcome Back Campers” Family Movie Night in the Shelter House for Saturday night. We only got about eight takers.  I decided to show “Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium” starring Dustin Hoffman as Mr. Magorium, Natalie Portman as Molly Mahoney, Jason Bateman as Henry “Mutant” Weston & an enjoyable young boy named Zach Mills playing Eric Applebaum.  If you have never seen the movie, I highly recommend it.  It’s a great movie for the young and the young at heart!  I’ve watched it several times!  We only had to battle the pesky wind and the very cool temperatures.  Viewers retreated to their warm campers seeking shelter from the winds after the movie ended.

In closing, I will be posting an ingredient contribution sign up sheet in the Shelter House Friday (12th) for the Ham & Beans Dinner scheduled for 7pm-? Saturday April 20th.  Tickets are $1 ea. for 10yrs & up.  Please bring all your table settings and drinks you will need for your family.  Again, look for that ingredient contribution sign up sheet to be posted in the Shelter House this Friday (12th).  Hope everyone has a great week with all this warmer weather before we turn COLD again… 😦

We are doing everything we can to get your attention. – channeled by Ron Head January 24, 2013

featherAA Michael

Synchronicities, feathers, coins, and signs of all kinds abound at this time.  We are doing everything we can to get your attention.  We are here and we are working with you in every way we are able.  If you are open to the possibility, ask and you will receive all the signs you need that we are indeed with you.

There is much, much more to reality than you know or even imagine.  You have spent over a hundred years searching for the ‘missing link’.  Did they but know it, it is at last beginning to be acknowledged by your scientists.  Consciousness is that link.  Consciousness is everywhere.  Energy is everything.  At its core, matter is no more solid than thought is.  All is love.

How much is understood now that was totally foreign to the thinking of mankind so recently.  Of course in many places only the very few think of these things at all.  But that is changing, as well.  In your quiet inner moments, dwell on these things, dearest ones.  More than things to pass through your mind, what do they mean?

Could it be that nothing separates you from any other thing?  Could it be that nothing really separates you from me?  Could you possibly know what I want you to know before you read these pages?  Is there a level at which we are indeed all One?

What would that mean in the context of daily life?  All are equal?  Indeed, dear ones.  All are worthy?  All are loved?  All are precious?  No one and nothing is less than?  Most of all you, in your being, are precious, worthy, and loved beyond measure.

You are exactly as you need to be at this moment.  It may take some time for you to allow this become your true belief and feeling, but we assure you that it must be and will be your truth at some point.  Claim it now, it has never been untrue, even when you have felt so.

All of the pain, all of the suffering, exist because you have allowed the belief of your being less than, of being undeserving, of being unloved and unworthy to live in your hearts.  It is time now for you to awaken from that nightmare.

Ask!  Allow!  Listen!  Learn to love yourself as the son or daughter of the One.  There are those of you who will feel these words deeply.  We tell you that from the moment you realize this, we will walk with you and hold your hand as you find your way out of the dream.  Your Creator has no interest whatsoever in seeing you suffer and never has had.  You are deeply loved.

Good day, beloveds.  We will speak again shortly.

No More Cool Beans: Cooking Beans Correctly

Welcome back to the second post in our bean series!  As you probably know, beans can be purchased dried or pre-cooked and canned for convenience. As with many convenient food items, canned beans are high in sodium. If possible, purchase pre-cooked beans that are canned in water or reduced sodium. Straining and rinsing beans of their salt is another option, however only an estimated 40% of the sodium content is actually washed away using this method.

beans cooked

The healthiest way to prepare beans is from their uncooked, dried state, often available in bags or the bulk purchase section of the grocery store. As a rule, 2 cups of dried beans is equivalent to 4-5 cups of cooked beans. Dried beans can be prepared in two ways: soak and boil or with a pressure cooker.

Soak and Boil Method

  • Clean: Remove broken beans or small rocks or foreign objects that may have gotten into the bag during harvest and packaging.
  • Rinse: Rinse beans under cold running water in a strainer.
  • Soak:
    – Put beans in a large pot and add 10 cups of water for every 2 cups of beans. *Tip- remember using hot water can decrease gas-forming compounds. Heat to boiling for 2-3 minutes before letting soak.
    – Let beans soak in water 8 hours to overnight.
    – Drain beans and discard soak water. *Tip-discarding soak water 2-3 times during soak period can decrease gas-forming compounds.
    – Rinse beans under cool running water.
  • Quick-Soak Method: Interested in saving some time?  Give the quick-soak method a try!  Cook your beans for 1-2 minutes, then cover with a lid and let it sit in the warm water for 1-2 hours instead of the regular 8.
  • Cook: Add enough cold water to cover the beans plus 2 T of oil to reduce foaming. Simmer beans, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender but not mushy. Cooking times vary by type of bean but you can refer to the package. Most take 60-90min, or enough time to get some laundry and chores done around the house!
    beans cook
  • Pressure Cooker Method: It takes only 1/3 of the amount of time it requires to cook beans from their dried form. When cooking beans using a pressure cooker it is still necessary to soak the beans prior to cooking. This is because inside a pressure cooker the steam from the boiling water is able to reach above the 212⁰F boiling point which cooks the beans faster. Faster cooking time and need for less water in cooking helps to retain more nutrients. Pressure cookers are a bit pricey, around $50-$100, however they may be considered a small investment in comparison chronic disease and cost savings!
  1. Read the manual that came with your pressure cooker. It should have at least one or two safety features included. Make sure you fully understand how to operate the cooker before using.
  2. To soak the beans in the pressure cooker. Fill the pressure cooker approximately ½ full with water.
  3. Add desired amount of dried beans.
  4. Add 4 T of oil and 3 tsp of salt to the cold-soak water for each pound (2 cups) of dried beans. It helps to decrease foaming and retain shape of bean.
  5. Let the pressure drop by itself, DO NOT open the lid while beans are cooking.

Did you know?

A 1/2 cup serving of cooked dried beans had an average retail cost of $.12/serving in 2012. A 3 oz serving of ground beef cost $.72 per serving which is 6 times as much.

If a pound of ground beef cost $3.99 and a bag of pinto beans cost $1.49, if a family of 4 substituted beans for one meal a week for a year they would save an estimated $130.

Palin “Bloodbath” Continues

21 11 2008

Palin Turkey Pardon

Okay, so Sarah Palin yesterday, as politicians do, pardoned a lucky turkey just in time for Thanksgiving.  So what’s the controversy here, you say?

Well, the media is absolutely jumping on this non-story by saying “How DARE Sarah Palin stand there while innocent turkeys are being slaughtered!”  Oh my freaking goodness, people.  Get over yourselves.

This is why they are scared of her.  Palin 2012 and or 2016 🙂

One response

21 11 2008

Palin needs to seriously consider getting some new advisers … there is no way any competent adviser would allow this interview to take place with that as the backdrop

She did a great job in her post election interviews but now this is what will be in the in the minds of the drive by media viewers

She needs to realize that the media is out to destroy her … she needs to learn how to play the media and control her message

This most recent NHL draft brought some new faces that are already becoming household names. A glorious premiere night in Toronto for Auston Matthews and Winnipeg’s goal machine Patrik Laine are showing us that the 2016 newcomers are here to make a name for themselves in the big league. Going down the list, we can see the first round brought us some less discussed contributors that have been making a huge difference for their teams. Notably on defense, I want to dive into what Zach Werenski has been doing in Columbus.

Werenski has lent a huge hand in the team’s astounding turnaround from finishing in last place in the Metropolitan division last season, to closely battling among the top teams in this season’s hottest division. Currently, they sit in third place just above the New York Rangers and just under the championship defending Pittsburgh Penguins. There are a lot of factors to consider for this, most important of all is the addition of head coach John Tortorella. From there the organization has made some solid roster changes. Selected number 8 overall by the Blue Jackets, Werenski is an important piece of a larger puzzle that is giving this team unexpected success. After we look at his play, we will dive into some numbers.

Describing Werenski’s play can be achieved in one word: smooth. His skating ability and vision of the play make his positioning and control seem nearly effortless. The stride he has and his speed make any breakaway transition from the defensive zone to the attack a true threat to any team. Not to mention his shot can be compared to any current sniper forwards in the league (a good example here as he picks the corner to tie the game versus Washington). Defensively, this kid has the stuff. The head stays up at all times, play is always watched, and rarely does an attacker enter the zone with the puck cleanly. In some tense situations his eyes will sometimes magnetize to the puck which allows opportunities, but better focus comes with experience in this league.

I am thinking this stat may have come out of necessity after last season, but Werenski is certainly not lacking in ice time. With defensive partner Seth Jones leading the pack at 23:39 average time per game, Zach sits in the group averaging around 21:20 per game, consisting of himself, Johnson, and Savard. Combined, Werenski and Jones have 71 points so far in the season. Werenski has 37 points, most of which has been accomplished on the Columbus power play unit that dominated early on in the season. I would not be surprised if he finishes the regular season hitting the 50 point mark.

Even if Columbus does not make it far in the upcoming playoffs, they have certainly laid a solid foundation for upcoming seasons. A solid mix of young talent with well seasoned vets is a winning combination and it looks like that strategy is slowly coming together. Werenski is part of the hope that the Blue Jackets have for the future as the organization continues to strengthen its pool of young talent.

From Head To Heart

BlogCoverIt’s been 5 years since I made that trek to Vermont and met Kevin Behan for the first time. Little did I know at the time how much he would change my life. I can’t believe 5 years have already passed, so when the opportunity came to get together again in Indiana, I relished the chance to meet and catch up. This time though I wouldn’t be bringing dogs, I would be bringing a camera. Well, 2 cameras actually. One for me and one for Amanda. It was a fantastic 3 days of reconnecting with some old friends, and making a lot of new ones. The organizing team of the Indiana K-9 Assisted Crisis Response Team did an amazing job putting the event together, and it was so nice to finally meet so many people in person who I had only met online. Even though the 5 years have gone by quickly, I vow that it won’t be another 5 before we reconnect again. Thanks to everyone who attended for being such gracious subjects and not being deterred by having a camera constantly following them around, as well as to Jean Marie Thompson and her team for making us feel so welcome, and of course a huge thanks to Kevin for continuing to do what he does, helping us all get out of our heads and reconnect with our hearts. See you again soon my friend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mallR0020506R0020509D59C4122GroupPhoto

6 thoughts on “From Head To Heart

  1. Beautiful shots! Thanks for sharing them! Just leaving me a wee bit jealous for not having been able to be there 🙂

  2. Beautiful work Sang! Your use of depth-of-field isolation is magic! Wish I could have been there! The vibe of your photo’s tells me that the seminar had to be amazing!!

  3. Wow, Sang thank you. These are great pictures! It is so nice seeing everybody again, and I have got some great memories to add to the photo`s 🙂 Hope we meet again some day. Take care….

  4. You really captured the stories! Beautiful! And the joy in Kevin’s face is proof that he is living his life’s passion.

  5. Wonderful to see all your work. I kept seeing Lupine in the ( I think two) husky looking dogs..the body language, the way they would attend and he stretch up to meet the gaze so in a way nothing below could get higher if they were right there riveted on you face to face at times, and even the push shot of Amanda, and how the tail was from the was kind of amazing. Thanks for all your good efforts with Kevin, certainly this work offers so much about leadership, heart and helping all as a friend said in conservation “voiceless voices” to have a chance to teach us about nature and our natures,. I appreciate the fine photos that captured important moments, attitudes and for me always this heart and sweetness in dog beings and seeing
    Kevin facilitating the energy so that it could go in the best direction for dog and persona.

Of Skating, Les Miserables and Flying!

It was decided that after we submitted our Architectural Graphics compiled works, we're going to the Sunway Pyramid to skate.

.... and by the time we were done with submission was around 5 o'clock. But the beauty of it is we still going anyway.

We arrived at Sunway Pyramid sometime around 6.30 p.m. after a horrible ride on a run-down bus (which is my fault, plus there's no cab at that time), we got off somewhere, took separate cabs to the mall.

Since I'm flying tomorrow I decided not to join them. Who wants to walk around the huge airport with sore arms and legs? Assuming I'm going to fall every 5 seconds, which is for sure.

So, I just stood somewhere close and took pictures... :D

Mission accomplished!!
We head towards the cinema to get movie tickets, Les Miserables and as the movie's showtime was at 10.45 p.m., we head down to Carl's Jr. to get dinner.

Aww!!! Never thought we could see that again! Bromance 2.0!

Syamil! Open your eyes, ah!

First group photo. Yep. This is it.

I got to say. The diner is awesome! Definitely gonna come and visit next time we're here. We can even study while getting dirty (while eating, duh) here!

Before we head towards the cinema, me, Mimi and Syira went for a little karaoke time at K-Box. It's the first time for me so it's rather funny. The song collection was a bit outdated but we didn't care. Haha

Les Miserables. Where to start. Of course, it goes without saying that musical ain't everyone's thing. Yes, papa. I know you agree with me.

I know about French Revolution for a bit but this movie just I don't know what words to use in order to describe it.

Love, hardship, sacrifice, distance, truth, law, dilemma, I could go on and on as this movie is all wrap in one. The movie set is beyond awesomeness with all the details and colours, and as we're watching it in the cinema, we got the chance to catch every attractive moment on the big screen.

I think it's safe to say that watching that movie is like watching the montages of our moments for the past 4 months. Studio, design, written exams, not forgetting friendships, complications, challenges, negativity, motivation, and most importantly, perseverance.

When Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) did a number on French Revolution once for audition for the lead in national, I think it was in Glee season 2, I really think it was great. But when Eponine (Samantha Barks) did that number, I was breathless. ... and somehow makes me think that I can relate to her. Okay, let's not get off topic here.

Anyway, I won't be surprise to see the cast of this movie nominated in the upcoming Golden Globe Awards cause overall, the movie is just awesome. Beyond awesomeness.

After the movie, we took a cab to KL Sentral and we realized that it was already 2 in the morning.

We decided to catch the first train to Gombak which was at 6.05 a.m. so in order to kill some time, we did 'Spin the Bottle' at McDonald. Though you guys might have your own version of that game, no. It wasn't like any of that. It's our own version. But what more can I say, cause what's been said at McD, stays at McD. Hehe

Arrived in campus at almost 7, we went back to our respective mahallahs and I slept for almost 2 hours before getting up and cleaned the whole room within 3 hours as I need to be at the airport at least before 3 p.m. Thank God as my big bro came to pick me up and sent me to the airport.

.... and here I am, sitting at Starbucks, half an hour before boarding time, thinking about what happened the past 24 hours.

I really hope I can come back to KL with the same feelings I have today and see my fellow mates before continuing my journey as an architecture student at KAED, IIUM next semester.

International Borrowing, Capital Controls and the Exchange Rate: Lessons from Chile

Listed author(s):
  • Kevin Cowan
  • Jose De Gregorio

This paper analyzes the Chilean experience with capital flows. We discuss the role played by capital controls, financial regulations and the exchange rate regime. The focus is on the period after 1990, the period when Chile returned to international capital markets. We also discuss the early 80s, where a currency collapse triggered a financial crisis in Chile, despite stricter capital controls on inflows than the 90s and tighter currency matching requirements on the banking sector. We conclude that financial regulation and the exchange rate regime are at the center of capital inflows experiences and financial vulnerabilities. Rigid exchange rates induce vulnerabilities, which may lead to sharp capital account reversals. We also discuss three important characteristics of the Chilean experience since the 90s. The first is the fact that most international borrowing is done directly by corporations and it is not intermediated by the banking system. The second is the implication of the free trade agreement of Chilean and the US regarding capital controls. Finally, we examine the Chilean experience following the Asian-Russia crisis, showing that Chile did not suffer a sudden-stop, but a current account reversal due to policy reactions and a sudden-start in capital outflows.

Why is capital so immobile internationally? : Possible explanations and implications for capital income taxation

Listed author(s):
  • Gordon, R.H.
  • Bovenberg, A.L.

    (Tilburg University, Center For Economic Research)

The evidence on international capital immobility is extensive, including the lack of international portfolio diversification, real interest differentials across countries, and the high correlation between domestic savings and investment. The authors develop a model with asymmetric information between countries that helps rationalize all the above observations and then examine the implications of this model for optimal domestic tax policy. Without asymmetric information, past work showed that small open economies should not impose corporate income taxes. With asymmetric information, the optimal policy instead involves government subsidies to capital imports. Some omitted factors that argue against subsidizing capital imports are explored briefly.

What’s up dog?

We’ve finally reached it, the more current drawings! After my mom and I recently joined a new gym we’ve been grateful to go to yoga classes together. I’ve always loved yoga, and have practiced for some time on my own (not seriously or regularly, but enough to be familiar with the poses and comfortable with the concepts).

Getting back into yoga with regular practices two or three times a week has made all the difference in the world for me! I feel great, energetic, loose – it allows me to let go of any and all tension – I LOVE IT!

So, inspired by how I feel and how excited I am to be back in practice, I decided to start a yoga series. The first one that came to mind was Upward-Facing Dog (or more familiarly, Up Dog). I guarantee you’ll see this in any basic class you try.
Up Dog

I don’t really know what went wrong with his head, I’m a little dissatisfied with that, and he does appear to be on the shorter side…oh well, it’s a done deal.

You’ll please note the eyes: at this point I decided that my skeletons needed more life to them, to represent more than a hollow soulless frame, to be more. So [since I can’t do real live people with skin to save my life] I decided to make the eyes heart-shaped moving forward. You’ll see that most, if not all, of my sketches after this will have the heart-eyes. I think it adds a touch of peace and serenity.

I do believe I am happy with this.

Just Call Me Twinkle Toes (Episode 2)

Dance class number two was a bit more of a challenge than the first.  To begin with, we were running late. I hate being late. It stresses me out. I find it rude – like I think my time is more important than others’ time – but sometimes lateness happens, and that is what happened... Continue Reading →

Just Call Me Twinkle Toes (Episode 1)

As promised, here is an update on the ballroom dance lessons Terry and I began last Tuesday. Let me start by saying that the idea for these classes was a simply ingenious one!  Our church offered 4 ballroom dancing classes with child care beginning on Valentine’s Day – all for $75.  BRILLIANT.

A couple recipes and other nonsense

Tom Costello of MSNBC had a little more information about Stephen Paddock, the suspect in the mass shooting that killed 50 and injured upward of 400 at a concert in Las Vegas late Sunday night:

“Somebody at NBC News just gotten a brief interview it would appear with the brother of the suspect who describes his brother as saying he was just a guy. He lives in Mesquite. He went to the hotels. He gambled. He went to shows. He said when you find out what happened, call me. So taking his family by surprise.”

Just a guy who, according to the sheriff of Las Vegas at a press conference early this morning, had 10 guns with him in his hotel room at the Mandalay Bay hotel.

We have been through enough of these mass shootings at this point to hear how surprised the family of the shooter always is by these events. He — and it is always a “he” — was just a guy. Maybe he drank a little, maybe he gambled, maybe he owned a few guns, sure, but no one ever thought he would use them for anything other than picking off the jackrabbits invading his garden or something.

And Paddock, as we noted earlier, lived in Nevada, which has some of the most lax gun laws in the nation.

It is very, very early in this investigation. There is likely still a ton of information about Paddock still to be dug up. We might find out he was deep in gambling debt. Or had an anger management problem. Or was an NRA member convinced that the federal government would come for his guns one day. Or really, really hated Jason Aldean's music. Or any one of a million other possibilities that motivated him to do what he is accused of doing.

But one thing we know for sure: He lived in a place where he had easy access to any gun he wanted. You leave millions of them lying around — and this nation has an estimated 350 million or so of them lying around — and someone is always going to see them as a solution to whatever problem, real or imaginary, is pressing in on him.

Maybe now we can have this conversation. Maybe.

Watch Costello recount Paddock's brother's statement in the video below.

Reading by channels

Reading by channels

I read an interesting

CNN article (originally Wired) by Kyle VanHemert

in my morning Flipboard (at AmazonSmile: support a non-profit of your choice by shopping*) read the other day**.

The thrust of the article was that services like Netflix, Roku channels, and Amazon Instant Video are missing an important element by having us choose what we want to watch each time.

I agree.

Sure, it’s great to be able to choose…to say, “I want to watch this movie now” and be able to do it.

However, it’s also a wonderfully serendipitous feeling to just blunder into something that’s good.

Think about it. I would never ever have to watch something without knowing what it was first. Yet, I do.

Let me give you an example.

In the NBC News channel on my

I can select to watch individual stories, maybe just ones that interest me.

I don’t do that, usually. I start the top news running, and just let it run from story to story.

I think it’s fun. 😉 I think we are geared towards having unplanned experiences…that’s a lot more natural. We have a joy of discovery.

VanHemert has a great point:

“Consider, for example, a strange paradox of the streaming video age: You’ll totally watch an hour of “Ghostbusters” on TNT, but you’d never in a million years start it up from the top on Netflix, even though it’s always right there, just a dozen clicks away.”

I own DVDs of movies, but I’m a lot more likely to watch a show if it just happens to be on than to pull out the DVD (those seem to be more for special occasions…like when my adult kid and an adult friend and I watched all of The Prisoner ((at AmazonSmile)) in one day). 😉

Naturally, that got my mind exploring (most things do).

What if we read like that?

What if there was, say, a science fiction channel, a romance channel, a mystery channel, a non-fiction channel, and so?

You would “tune into” a channel, and see what was on. If you wanted to read it great…start reading.

Now, I don’t mean that everybody would read it at the same time. While we all generally have the same “watching speed”, we don’t have the same reading speeds.

You’d have to be able to download it and read it at your own pace.

I would think you could only have one thing downloaded at a time. When you finished it, you’d “return it”…and see what else was “on”.

I wonder if that would work?

It’s even possible to me that I would read half of a book (a novel if I’ve read it before…maybe a collection of non-fiction essays if I haven’t), but that seems unlikely to have mass appeal. 🙂

No, I’d see it being with novels and non-fiction books…but short stories might work especially well.

Yes, I would go to a short story channel, and just read whatever came up.

That might work.

The faster you would read, of course, the more opportunity you’d have to read, but I think that’s reasonable.

Don’t see something you like on one channel? Go to another channel…switch from “urban short stories” to “Victorian poetry” to “Penny Dreadfuls” until you found something you liked. Download it, read it, see what else was on.

Would it work economically?

Hard to say.

I think publishers might especially like the discovery aspect as a way to “push” lesser known works. There could certainly be a way to buy other works by that author at the end of the piece you read…and/or you could buy it if you wanted to keep it. Gifting might be another income stream.

It could be like television now. Either you pay for it by watching ads, or it is a subser (subscription service…you pay a flat rate for the month or year).

Certainly, there are some things a little bit like this. Science fiction magazines come to mind: we wouldn’t get to choose which stories would appear in which issues. In my Sherlock Holmes blog, 221B Blog Street, you just get each day whatever is the next chapter or story in order (unless you are reading on the website). There are other literary magazines and blogs, of course.

That doesn’t seem quite the same…

This is all just a thought experiment. I’m not at all convinced it would work. Many people have a lot higher standard for what they read than I do…I’m pretty open to reading all different kinds of things. Some people say that they “…don’t have time to read bad books”. I’m not yet convinced that there are bad books…there are better books, but I’ve never regretted reading a book yet.

I also have to say, some of my favorite books (including Doc Savage), I didn’t seek out and read by choice…they were the only books available to me at the time.

Anyway, just a thought…

What do you think? Could this work at all? Have you ever read only part of a novel…on purpose? Maybe on vacation, or in a store? Have you ever read something “by accident”, just because it was there…and loved it? Feel free to tell me and my readers what you think by commenting on this post.

It will feel just like shopping at Amazon: you’ll be using your same account. The one thing for you that is different is that you pick a non-profit the first time you go (which you can change whenever you want)…and the good feeling you’ll get. :) Shop ’til you help! :) By the way, it’s been interesting lately to see Amazon remind me to “start at AmazonSmile” if I check a link on the original Amazon site. I do buy from AmazonSmile, but I have a lot of stored links I use to check for things.

** I’ve written before on this blog about having what I refer to as “Temporal Awareness Disorder” (that’s just my term for it). I really don’t have a good sense of the passage of time. While I don’t remember all things equally, I can’t tell from a memory if it’s old (like a decade ago) or new (like a week ago). I typically have to look at internal clues to figure it out. My Significant Other pointed something out to me years ago. I refer to “today”. I refer to “yesterday”. Everything else that is in the past, if it isn’t “yesterday”, is often simply, “the other day” for me. That could be true if it happened just recently or when I was a kid…

Keller Family Traditions, a work in progress

April 9, 2012

When I grew up, Easter was not a big deal.  We got together with my grandparents and had an early dinner on the nice china.  We had pretty spring dresses and curls in our hair but we didn’t go to church in them.  We always had an egg hunt, and the hiding spots were the same every year (we knew to lift the lid on the bbq and look under certain plants).  Our eggs were plastic and full of M&Ms, jelly beans, and nickels.  I don’t remember ever coloring eggs.  I’m glad we didn’t.  Seems boring and I hate the smell of eggs.  There is one more tradition I remember.  My grandma had an inflatable Easter bunny that she put on her front porch every year, and we had to take a picture of us “feeding” the bunny a real carrot.

Now that I’m married and almost ready to start my own family, I’ve thought a lot about traditions.  I’m thinking of what traditions from my family I want to continue, which traditions from my husband’s I want to adopt, and what new traditions I want to start.  As each new holiday comes around, I ask my husband questions like “What did your family do for Easter?” or “Did you get anything on Valentine’s Day?” or “What did you eat at Thanksgiving?”  I haven’t figured out completely what our holidays will be like when we have children, but there are a few things I know I want to include/exclude.

  • New Years Eve – We pretty much ignore this as a holiday currently.  I don’t want to drink in our house when we have kids.  I don’t drink now, and Curtis has an occasional beer or two but neither of us grew up with parents who drank and I’d prefer to keep it that way for our kids too.   Maybe we’ll just do a big New Year’s Day family breakfast.
  • Valentine’s Day – We make each other gifts for Valentine’s Day.  It requires some planning, but it’s something we’ve done since we were dating.  He made me a shelf our first year, and I wove him a basket once that’s in our den now.  These little handmade gifts are a creative, cheap and thoughtful way to avoid the commercialism of Valentine’s.
  • St. Patrick’s Day – Again, we kind of skip this one.  I don’t care for corned beef, and again, drinking is out.  Neither of us are Irish.  It goes unnoticed in our house.
  • Easter – Church. Homemade hot cross buns. Family dinner or brunch.  I think an egg hunt and a basket of goodies is okay but I don’t want to do the whole Easter bunny thing.

The inaugural batch, 2012.

  • Our birthdays – We typically go on a day or weekend trip for our birthdays.  We essentially take the money we’d spend on presents and have an adventure instead.  These have been some of our best times. Cake on my grandma’s cake plate that spins and plays “Happy Birthday” (see below).  Also, my mom had a red plate that said “You are special today!” and I want to buy one of those to have for birthdays and other occasions when the kids should feel loved (good report cards, etc).

Lazy store-bought cake for the big 3-0 because we were leaving for vacation the next day.

  • Summer – Camping trips.

A camping trip past.

  • Our anniversaries – We take a look at the traditional and modern annual gifts list and pick the one we prefer, then pick out a present together for our home.  For our first anniversary it was paper (traditional) or clocks (modern) so we got an antique chiming mantle clock with an engraved plate.  This year it’s cotton or china.  Then we usually go out to a nice dinner and watch our wedding video.  We also write letters to each other and seal them.  Then we open them the next year and keep them in a scrapbook.
  • The Patriotic Holidays: 4th of July, Memorial, Labor Day – Cookouts and homemade ice cream.
  • Halloween – Halloween goes uncelebrated right now, as we don’t have kids.  We live in a condo complex where no one trick-or-treats so we don’t even hand out candy.  When we have kids, we’ll do costumes for them and go to a better neighborhood to beg for candy.  But I want to deemphasize the darker elements of Halloween (no ghosts, witches, etc).  We’ll visit the pumpkin patch, carve them up and roast the seeds in the oven.

  • Thanksgiving – Traditional Thanksgiving dinner.  Something I insist upon from my mom’s side of the family is there must be a bowl of black olives.  This is important.  I want to think of something special that we do each year, but I don’t have any great ideas yet.
  • Christmas – We are borrowing a tradition from an article I read last Christmas.  Our presents will be “Something You Want, Something You Need, Something to Wear, Something to Read,” and $100 each to donate to whatever cause you want.  And then stockings.  Stockings are VERY important.  I grew up with great stocking stuffers and it was one of my favorite parts of Christmas.  We were allowed to open our stockings before the adults woke up.  I think that’s a good method.  Also, no Santa.  I realize this is controversial but I’m not doing the Santa charade with my kids (no judgment for those who do).  I don’t think Christmas loses any magic without Santa and I want to focus on Jesus.  I want to figure out a way to have an Advent tradition as well but I don’t know how yet.  Also, we buy Christmas ornaments from every new place we visit.  We have a small collection that will grow over time.  Our Christmas tree is an annual reminder of where we’ve been together: our honeymoon in Yosemite, our Caribbean cruise, our annual summer trek to Solvang, etc.

I love to hear other family traditions, so share any that you love.  Just keep in mind I might steal!

My prayer to the world

Why is it that when in hard times my soul finds its most honest state of mind, then my soul really speaks out, cries out for all the unhappiness in the world, all of the wars going on, all of the tragedies that exists on this earth. What we are doing to Mother Earth is horrible, we have her only on a loan, we are visitors from the stars. We need to take better care of you, or else the next generation have no chance to survive. Why don’t we hear Gaia scream in this time that we are in? We are contaminating the Earth and the sky above her, please hear her prayer of help everyone, because we are one. We are all created of one God. He is the same in all of the world’s religions. When are the people of the world going to understand this?
