It’s not that my husband and I don’t enjoy cooking. We have a collection of favourite recipe books—the worn copy of the More with Less Cookbook that we packed back and forth to Africa and Hungary, my Hull Christian School Society Cookbook from Iowa (Snicker Salad, anyone?), a binder of recipes from both the Schut [...]
A couple of weeks ago a teacher told me that a considerable amount of money had disappeared from a wallet. As we were working through some possibilities for finding out what may have happened, I was told more had gone missing from someone else’s wallet. Given what we know, it seems clear that it happened [...]
I don’t know how the friendship started. I was young, sitting in church, very aware that if I started goofing off, I would get that dreaded pinch or swat from my parents. And oh, I would hear about it at home, and my family was well-known—two rows from the back of the church. All the [...]

It's the time of year when everything starts up again: school, church groups, and all those extracurricular events. In our house that includes sports, and plenty of it.

I don’t know how many times I have looked at the picture that my mother had hung in our kitchen, probably thousands over the years. I am sure most of you know the picture because it may have been hanging in your kitchen when you were a child. For that matter, you may have it [...]
When Tym first asked me if I would be willing to be the Middle School Staff blogger for Inside Out, he suggested possible ways that I could begin a blog post. One was “So, my husband is gaming again….” “Again?” I retorted. “More like still gaming or has become obsessed with yet another video game.” Yes, [...]
I spend most of my working time around 3 to 12 year olds. That makes my job one of the best I can imagine. But I have also discovered I really like hanging out with teenagers. Most of the opportunities to do that in the last four years have been with my involvement in the [...]
Imagine thousands of angry people pointing their fingers at you, repeatedly yelling at the top of their lungs, “Who are ya? Who are ya? Who are ya?” Pretty stressful, right?
