Mother's Day Figurines for Mom

I know Mother's Day has just assessed, but I had to take a peek at this page anyway. Just as I thought, there are things here that would make nice birthday, or new mom gifts, too! My favorite is the mother and child on the beach.

Remembering Challenger and Columbia

It still makes me sad to remember them. Had I been at home that day, my husband and I would have been watching from our front yard. Our routine was always much like yours and many who live near KSC - Watch the countdown on the NASA TV channel, ...

Remembering Challenger and Columbia

Living near the east coast of Florida meant that our family could watch the shuttles fly. We'd watch on TV until it lifted off the ground, then we'd go outside and watch for it to rise over the tree line. Usually we could see the rocket ...

Review of Tombstone Original 5-Cheese Pizza

The Paranormal

I read a little about Ian Stevenson and Rupert Sheldrake after reading your comment. It's interesting. The problem is, if you accept reincarnation, the door is open to so much more. Christian clergy is adamant against reincarnation. The whole ...

The Paranormal

Rupert Sheldrake is an honourable exception to the narrow mindedness of academia, as is the astronomer Archie Roy, both of whom have studied paranormal phenomena. Sheldrake's book, the Science Delusion, is quite good. Professor Ian Stevenson ...

Review of Tombstone Original 5-Cheese Pizza
