Odd and Ends February 17, 2025

  • I challenged myself to practice writing in cursive everyday in January. I found that I loved it so much and that it made writing with a fountain pen even more fun, so I've kept it up and write in cursive as much as I can.
  • I'm reading Nuts and Bolts by Roma Agrawal. I would call it a popular history of common but extraordinary innovations like nails, wheels, string, and springs. It's really good. I first read a children's book to my kids by Agrawal on how buildings are built.
  • I'm also reading A Good Old Age by Derek Prime. It's a book by an older pastor on following Jesus as we get older. It would be good for anybody to read, but those coming up on old age or caring for elderly people would be really helped by this book.
  • Here is a link to my cooking playlist for this year. I add songs to the playlist to make it fun while I cook. I've been cooking more since we had our new baby, but I usually cook one to three times a week anyway. I include old songs that I discover and like, songs that friends suggest to me, and songs that I hear in the grocery store that I think the kids will like. Sometimes the kids ask why I skip a song, and I tell them, "because I know Mom will hate this song, and I don't want to run her out of the room."
