Merry Christmas – Dragon Hare Style!!
Christmas cards are one of my favorite Christmas traditions. I enjoy receiving those yearly updates from family and friends scattered across the world. We all take a bit of time to read over the card and the kids have even been sharing their favorite memory of the person who sent the card. When my Auntie...
Solstice Eclipse
The last time a lunar eclipse fell on winter solstice, Galileo was watching the stars and most did not believe the world was round. Last night, I watched the round shadow of the earth edge across the moon sending it into darkness. For many around the world, this event has cultural and religious meanings but...

My kids having been asking me what this poem means and why the soldiers had to go and fight and what is freedom anyways? It’s the same conversation that has come up every...
