National Dictionary Day

Posted on by BETH

A power outage and then an internet outage…  Sigh!  What can I say?  Finally, the note to my readers is out.

Happy Dictionary Day!

October 16th is National Dictionary Day, commemorating the birth of the great lexicographer Noah Webster. Celebrate by delving into our archive for articles about Webster and the world of dictionaries. A sampling: “Noah Webster at 250: A Visionary or a Crackpot?,” “The Case for Dictionary Day,” “The Birth of Webster’s Dictionary,” and “Dictionary Day and the Quest for All-American Words.”

What’s messier right now—my bedroom or my computer’s desktop? How and why did it get to that state?  I cannot blame any of my desktop mess on the Blogging 101 class.  Quite the contrary.  I took the course to help me sort out my priorities and maybe use some of the articles I started and never finished—all saved to my desktop over a period of about a year.

Antique Typewriter

Typing classes in my school were taught using these old Royal or Remington typewriters and yet we still communicated with the world.  We got jobs, found mates, had children and even educated them.  We went through college doing our papers on those old things, but today we have computers and what is more we have blogs.  Ah, yes, blogs.

SQUINT! SoCS on Sunday?

Posted on by BETH

Squint!  See if you can tell what this little kid is doing.

Preacher’s brat no doubt.  Showing off just like his father!

Always a day late and a dollar short…!  I may not be late for church today, but I know I am late for the SoCS post.

Is that you?  Is it procrastination or what?  Maybe someone did not inform you in time and so you missed the bus.  You might miss church today too, but you did not miss this photo shoot.

Church.  Keep your mind on your business.

The preacher is saying we need to focus.  I see the lady across the aisle from me is eating chocolate!  What a hypocrite!  She should focus on why she came here!

The man in front of me is sleeping–hmmm!

Oh, did I remember to turn off the oven?  What if…?

When we all stand up to sing, I will sneak out early and probably nobody will notice.
