Time to empty the 2blog folder

For those who care, I have really, *really* short names for my bookmarks toolbar folders — for instance, my leftmost folder, which contains links that I visit daily, is labelled simply ‘1’.  I use foxmarks to keep my bookmarks synchronized between all my browsers, and I use the “Add Bookmark Here2” plugin to just add pages to that 2blog folder when I come across a page I want to share later.

Then, once it gets overwhelmingly large, I just copy the links from that folder to a post.

As usual I start with things overheard:

An amazing first

I came home tonight, and when I walked in the door, Grace came running over.

Come look at the table!

Lo and behold, she set the table and made dinner (ham sandwiches).  We each had a glass of water, and a napkin with our name on it.

We all sat down together and had a nice family dinner.  Now that she has gone to sleep, I’m going to fix something more, but that’s a secret!
