Theophrastus Prospero firing his staff. This week is a short one, and I do not have time to do justice to the next installment of Good vs. Evil, which is on writing about villains. So that will be next week. This week, I thought I would write a bit about being a writer. One…
It never ceases to amaze me how clothes just look better on the Cherubim. I almost never look at the boys and think “what a nice outfit” or “how well that looks”. But the Cherubim comes downstairs sometimes and exactly those lines go through my head. “Hey, how well that white and maroon striped shirt…
Well…it finally happened. Only a month and a half after I had planned it, but hey… Chores have been assigned! I’ve always wanted the kids to have chores, but for years it did not work out.
