Some of my friends know that I love to sew. I mean, LOVE to sew. I had actually forgotten how much until this weekend. Our house has this HUGE rec room (30 x 24) and roughly half of is has been taken over by my craft stuff. This includes an old dining room table I …

As much as Microsoft is everywhere and trying as hard as possible to take over the world, my vote for Mad Scientist/Evil Overlord is Steve Jobs. Even if everyone I know seems to have an Iphone and EVERYONE on all my favorite TV shows do, I don’t. I seriously can’t afford it and the only …
I’m on our church’s VBS committee as well as doing drama every year. I love it. I love making a fool of myself for Jesus! However, the committee meetings are hard for me sometimes. I don’t know all these people. I mean, I’m getting to know some of the committee members although there are still …
I have been thrilled to see how the people at my husband’s work respect him and come to him for advice and trust him with responsibility. I was there when he was in graduate school and for years he had no self-esteem and thought he’d never get anywhere in his chosen career. It’s been a …

I remember this because he drove down here with me and we jokingly called my van “Bulldog One” when we’d call home. His …
High School Never Ends So, I wasn’t one of the popular kids in high school – whatever that means. My mother thought I was since lots of kids signed my yearbook. After all, popular means lots of people like you, right? Anyway, we know that it didn’t mean that then. And I don’t know that …
So, what’s happening in Brandt world? The Boy did his First Eucharist on Sunday. That was exciting. He looked so handsome. I made him a rosary and we had a formal portrait of him taken with it, which I’ll post here and on Facebook when we get it. We sat in the front pew, mainly …
I went to see a podiatrist last week because I’ve been having a lot of pain in my left heel. I had three x-rays done before the visit. As I sat in the exam chair, he pulled up the X-rays on the computer screen and started showing me why my foot’s been bothering me. He …
