http://forrysnic.blogspot.com/2014/03/if-i-had-died.html
Small and big details of our life in the U.S. after life overseas. Saturday, March 8. If I had died. What would my funeral have looked like? What would people have said of me? Would anyone have come to mourn? Would there be a hole in people's lives because of my death? It's been almost a month since I've written, but I've written in my head almost every night. So many questions and what if's. One of the many questions I've asked myself is what kind of legacy would I have left behind, had I died? Like enj...

My world has shrunk considerably these last few months.mostly due to my son's apraxia and sensory issues. I hope to give an update this week, as well as explain my "small world" of late. Lent was not a season that I grew up with.I don't remember hearing the word "lent" until I attended college, and it was a nebulous term. Links to this post. How to...

Small and big details of our life in the U.S. after life overseas. Wednesday, September 21. This afternoon I promised my boys we would do a treasure hunt after supper. While they cleaned up the table, I put my artistic skills to use and drew up a map and clues. As they ran around the house, trying to find the clues, there was an enormous BANG! And I thought the house was falling apart. Running outside, I was thankful to see the house still standing. Links to this post. Sunday, September 18. The Long Road...

life after living overseas: What's LOVE got to do with it????
http://forrysnic.blogspot.com/2009/09/whats-love-got-to-do-with-it.html
Small and big details of our life in the U.S. after life overseas. Friday, September 25. What's LOVE got to do with it? So of course I asked God, Well, what is love?

Small and big details of our life in the U.S. after life overseas. Thursday, January 5. I wanted to share some family portraits we had taken right after Thanksgiving. Such handsome men, are they not? They are growing up so fast. I've noticed that with each child we have added to our family, the sensation of time slipping away has deepened, and I have struggled in vain to hold the days back, to slow down time. My baby will be 3 in a few short months (already! I am truly blessed. Links to this post. Eccent...

Puzzlings on software development and other topics of interest. You can’t keep secrets without telling lies. On Daniel Ellsberg on the Limits of Knowledge. I’m fascinated with the concept of openness lately. What if we, as a community, society, nation, disposed of secrets in the interest of everyone being better informed and thus able to make better decisions? To the question regarding top secret intelligence (paraphrased) “we (the taxed) pay for it, why can’t we know? On Natalie’s new blog.
