Again Seeker
Tomorrow is the fourth Sunday before Christmas. I was delighted to find out that readvent is an actual word in the Merriam-Webster dicitonary. It means a renewed Advent. For this season, I’ll be making sure to focus on this meaning of renewed: to make new spiritually or regenerate. Way back in the Torah a Messiah…

There’s an again in register. Yet, you can register again and again. This time I reregistered for the Jane Austen birthday celebration with Jane Austen Society of North America, North Texas Chapter (JASNA-NT). Our dear Jane was born on Dec. 16, 1775. It’s been awhile since I’ve celebrated Jane’s birthday and I thought it was…

Keck is famous for his light-fluffy, pefectly mixed, great-tasting waffles. It was quite a surprise this morning when they were a little tough, a lot chewy, and not what we expecting. It was a mystery even to him. But no one complained. We simply ate the waffles, and were grateful that someone had the wherewithal…

A week and a half ago, the Lowe’s truck came with three pallets of 40 pound bags of top soil. That’s a total of 8,000 pounds of soil for the backyard. We’ve moved about half of that. The problem is the grade in the backyard. A rather large, 16 foot by 16 foot deck, had…

Here’s an again word you wouldn’t think was really an again word. Despite the fact that we’re trying to be adults and answer the question, “What’s for dinner?” with the words, “We’ve got food at home,” we come and go to restaurants time and again. In my mind there are tiers of restaurants: Utility Food:…

This is an addendum to my post from last night, mainly since I discovered this now rather than then. I received my Grammarly report, and, well, I’m a little impressed with myself. Grammarly says in this blog I use 625 unique words. Apparently, that’s a bigger vocabulary than 76 percent of Grammarly’s users. My latest…

On March 27, this year, I wrote about following my passions under the again {Re}tro. I was struggling with the idea and the meme: Follow your passion. I always feel as though these words are off kilter. That skew something that I cannot put my finger on. And then this morning, I read a Harvard…
