I Have Plaque

Quilly | April 30, 2007

I have plaque, but I am not going to the dentist to have it removed! Awhile back, Dr. John ran a Liar’s Contest. The lie had to be based on a dragon story. I entered and came in second place. Here is my prize. My Dragon Story is here, in case you missed it. The [...]

Still Human

Quilly | April 28, 2007

So much for being the heart and hands of Jesus (see previous post). You’ve all heard tales of the drunk neighbor I take shopping. Well, since she moved last January, technically she is only my neighbor in the biblical sense, but I have still been taking her shopping once each week on Saturdays. Usually, I [...]

Heart & Hands of Jesus

Quilly | April 28, 2007

The kids celebrated my birthday today at Sidewalk Sunday School. They sang their traditional horrible and squeaky rendition of, Happy Birthday, and Brandon, a member of my ministry team, gave me a special bouquet made to represt each of my six years as Director — six suckers. My ministry team and I start each Sidewalk [...]

If you happen to be dieting and your silk lined slacks are suddenly too big, don’t wear them over satin underwear. Just a suggestion ….

Poltergeist?

Quilly | April 26, 2007

Some kind of weird dynamics are going on in my classroom.  For instance, during reading today, there came a brief lull when everyone in every literature discussion group must have taken a breath at the same time.  One of those strange quick moments when a crowd is momentarily silent for no reason — all save one [...]

April is Fickle

Quilly | April 25, 2007

April brought spring to Las Vegas, changed her mind and gave us winter. An ever contrary female, April changed her mind again and returned srpring to us, then snatched it back and replaced it with winter. Today we woke to summer. I wonder what we will get tomorrow? It is lunchtime. I have come home [...]

Gifted

Quilly | April 24, 2007

Two — count them — one, two — birthday posts from O’Ceallaigh. (The placement of the second post may require retaliation of some kind.) One from a Dawg named Doug. Well, two, but he erased me from yesterday and replaced me with a dead Russian. Pft. (OC replaced me with Hugh Hefner. (I am still [...]

The Gift of Joy

Quilly | April 24, 2007

I thought I would celebrate this birthday, which O’Ceallaigh kicked off yesterday in a spirit of fun and follies, by telling you a particularly charming story of a birthday past — my 40th. The story doesn’t start all that charming. I received no birthday cards. No phone calls. No mention on the staff news. No [...]
