Matthew had a great first day of drama camp and last night we learned he has been cast into two roles: Professor Ray and Gill. Neither are lead roles, but they are both leadership roles (fish who are in charge of others) and that suits Matthew very well. He has many lines and solo portionsContinue reading “The Show is On!”

Matthew on Stage? Eye update.
Matthew might be cast as a pelican, a sting ray, or even a shark. If so, maybe you might want to see his debut in a role within that deep blue world – coming to the stage this Saturday morning at 11:00. First, I (Ron) want to update you on my eyesight. I last informedContinue reading “Matthew on Stage? Eye update.”
Is it worth it?
-Lying in a messy diaper -Listening to the horrendous cries of mothers while their 2-yr old sons are slaughtered -Living in an obscure town in the middle of nowhere -Learning and working the trade of carpentry for 30 yrs without a hint of notoriety -washing the disgusting, stinky feet of 12 men who had noContinue reading “Is it worth it?”
Light at the end of the tunnel
As a kid, I thought tunnels were neat, especially the tunnels on the PA Tpk. The surprise of the Blue Mountain was that, after exiting, in just 600’ we entered a second tunnel, under the Kittatinny Mountain. And these are long tunnels – .82 miles and .89 miles respectively. As Joan wrote, the recovery fromContinue reading “Light at the end of the tunnel”
The “Eyes” have it!
Not much voting going on in the Denlinger home and not much blogging either. Not because nothing is happening- quite the opposite. One knows he is getting older when he focuses on body parts. Ron and I both are noticing wear and tear on these aging ‘tents’ of ours. But suffice to say, today’s writingContinue reading “The “Eyes” have it!”
Gene (jean) Day
Today, the last day of February, is Rare Disease Day. I (Ron) suppose the date is so chosen because “Thirty days hath September…” (you know the Mother Goose rhyme). In case you forgot about Rare Disease Day, don’t feel badly. Had our friend Bethany not written us today, we probably would have missed it, evenContinue reading “Gene (jean) Day”
Getting Back to Normal
Joan continues to recover from whatever that was. She asked me (Ron) to give an update since she is busy watching Elia downstairs while I’m keeping an ear out for Lucy who is sleeping (our granddaughters) and for Kari who is by the vaporizer. Kari isn’t sick, we’re just doing things to help keep herContinue reading “Getting Back to Normal”
Why?
Isn’t that the question we ask when a mystery complicates our lives? There is also How, When, Where, What, Who. Since Matthew and I are into “Hardy Boy” mysteries, these questions plagued my mind the last three days. Some of you have heard that I (Joan) went through a harrowing experience yesterday. I was upContinue reading “Why?”
The “Woodies”
“Promise me you won’t ride the roller coaster!” my mother pleaded. “You don’t have to worry about that,” I (Ron) assured her. “There’s no way you’d get me on one of those!” I couldn’t have been more sincere. I was 14. It was my first time going to Hershey Park. It was with our churchContinue reading “The “Woodies””
Big Personality
Today was one of those days when we we’re not as happy – a day when Joan gets a phone call from the school (again). We get a little weary of the antics and the obsessiveness and so on. And then we watch the news and see what others see – how he fills aContinue reading “Big Personality”
