Spring is officially here…Fishing day
30
Mar
Yesterday, a friend from church called me and asked if I fished. I told him, “Well, I like to, but I haven’t in a long time”. “Well,” he says, “do you want to go with me tomorrow?” Needless to say, I accepted and spent yesterday evening getting myself ready…filled up the car, got my hunting/fishing license, gathered some snacks, etc.
I woke up this morning at 6:15 and quickly got myself in the car and over to Archie’s house to help him get the boat hooked up to his truck and get the bait and tackle prepped. He lives less than 5 minutes from the boat ramp he uses, so we were in the water by 7:15am and had the rods out by 7:30. Read the rest of this entry »
Carols, Cocoa, and Cookies

Brendan and I had a wonderful weekend. I baked more sugar cookies!
Christmas Trees!
Brendan and I went to our church’s (West Hills Presbyterian Church of America) Festival of Carols last night. Our sanctuary choir performed with the Knoxville orchestra. The music was beautiful! The program consisted of “O Come, All Ye Faithful”, selections from Handel’s Messiah, “Joy to the World”, “The Angels Rejoice”, “Away in a Manger,” “Mary, Did you Know?”, “The Lord’s Prayer”, and many others.
I adore Christmas songs and listening to them with an orchestra was even more amazing. I kept my eyes closed and let the music wash over me as I reflected on the reason for the season. It was so special to hear such beautiful hymns and share them with my husband and church family.
When we got home, Brendan and I snacked on sugar cookies and drank hot chocolate.

What a lovely way to wrap up the weekend.

New Site for Church
11
Oct
We joined West Hills Presbyterian Church here in Knoxville, TN in September. When we originally found this church, I ran across their web site and gathered there was no one at the church who had any web development experience at all. It was a sad 4 or 5 page static site with no contact form, a painfully “premade” looking template, and was just overall a horrible experience. Now, I’m no graphic designer, but I figured I could do a little bit better at least and so here is the new site : http://www.whpca.net. Nothing mindblowing, and still mostly static, but at least it has a way for people to contact the church and for new visitors to easily get essential info and directions.
On a related topic, I LOVE Google’s APIs. Whether it’s doing AJAX searches, integrating interactive maps into a page, or taking advantage of the multitude of other tools they have created (or bought). If you do any kind of web development, you will surely be able to find a use for one or more of their tools….. Google API AJAX Playground. To see an example of how it’s used on this site, go to the directions page under Information.
