That is a brilliant idea, having a page of the words you’ve discovered!

What a wonderful idea to have them all together. That must have been a lot of work unless you have a fancy WordPress plug-in that helped you do it. I like the way it looks – very helpful. Your own personal dictionary. You are giving me ideas.

Ohh, that’s a good word! Thanks for sharing!

Nebraska is OK. Still trying to get settled. Hopefully we’ll start making our roman shades today (we have seven 4×8 windows).

Nice!

My new fave word is “struwwelpeter” which is German for “shock-headed Peter.” It describes a boy who does not groom himself very well–nasty hair, long nails, etc. I found an antique english version of Heinrich Hoffman’s book Struwwelpeter in a flea market in Gentry (Gentry’s downtown has got it going ON–much better than Siloam’s, I think) and I stood there and laughed my head off at the horrid cautionary tales for children. I now urge my son to go brush his teeth and not be a “struwwelpeter.”

How’s Nebraska treating you?

Oh my gosh, I love the idea of an archive page! Now, if I can find the time to work on one of my own!
