Obama's cameo on Dragnet

My husbands uncle made this video.

Blessing the rain...

Happy Feast Day!

Today we celebrate the feast of the Most Holy Name of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Most appropriately I stumbled on this quote from the beloved author J.R. R. Tolkien:

"All my own perception of beauty both in majesty and simplicity is founded upon Our Lady."

Happy Feast Day!

Never forget.

“Now, we have inscribed a new memory alongside those others. It’s a memory of tragedy and shock, of loss and mourning. But not only of loss and mourning. It’s also a memory of bravery and self-sacrifice, and the love that lays down its life for a friend–even a friend whose name it never knew. “
- President George W. Bush

Forays in Fiber!

Hi all! I just wanted to let everyone know that I am back to posting over at Forays in Fiber, the knitting/crocheting blog that Meg and I started earlier this year. Feel free to stop by and check out my current knitting project.

This blog will be back to regular updates by the end of this month. I am trying to create a more solid vision of what I want The Bantering Bookworm to be.

Notable Quotable

“If God were to take away all His blessings, health, physical fitness, wealth, intelligence, and leave me but one gift, I would ask for faith – for with faith in Him and His goodness, mercy, love for me, and belief in everlasting life, I believe I could suffer the loss of my other gifts and still be happy – trustful, leaving all to His inscrutable Providence.”

--Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy
