Monday, January 28, 2013. Ryner's Immigrant Story Excerpt Part 2. New York and on to Grand Rapids. After a warm meal and an ice cream cone, we headed to Grand Central Station where we would board our train to Detroit, then on to Grand Rapids. Our ride to Michigan was a thrill. The country we steamed through looked beautiful to us, and everything seemed so big! Ryner's Immigrant Story - Excerpt Part 1. The SS United States was b. Our family's passage and those two cabins, nine floors below the ship's deck...

Katie W(rites): A Veteran Story
http://leavecleaveweave.blogspot.com/2013/11/a-veteran-story-eleven.html
Sunday, November 10, 2013. I think about this story on Veterans Day, about the first Americans Dad ever met - US servicemen. (This excerpt is from his memoirs, multi-year project he and I have labored through together.). Eventually, all bombardments and artillery stopped, and the rain of bombs and fire was. Replaced by hundreds of thousands of leaflets floating and fluttering peacefully from. Allied planes. The leaflets advised residents to surrender and lay down all weapons and. Were understandable, but...

Katie W(rites): Gender (in)Equality in Tennis
http://leavecleaveweave.blogspot.com/2013/07/gender-inequality-in-tennis.html
Friday, July 05, 2013. Gender (in)Equality in Tennis. A documentary film entitled Venus Vs. Aired on ESPN a few days ago. I did not watch the piece, but from the previews I surmised it was about tennis great Venus Williams and her battle for equal prize money in women's tennis. In light of these contrasting contests, it seems utterly unfair that Kirsten Flipkens, who may or may not have broken a sweat, should get the same check as Juan Martin Del Potro, who may still be in an ice-bath recovering. The...

Katie W(rites): Party Hardly
http://leavecleaveweave.blogspot.com/2013/11/party-hardly.html
Sunday, November 24, 2013. I think I might have problems. And I probably need to just be okay with my penchant for hosting “low-key” events. The thought of getting together half the awesome stuff she does is purely exhausting to me, and doesn't seem enjoyable. My babygirl is worth celebrating. Low-key throw-together or birthday-bash style, we’ll have lots of love. And babyJesus is worth celebrating (which is why I’m really looking forward to GOING to a friend's Christmas party.).

Katie W(rites): February 2012
http://leavecleaveweave.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 03, 2012. Blessed are the Dudes. Notes: I own John Piper books, he says some good things. I'm married to a man, I like him. I do manly things like play sports, watch ESPN, drink beer and burp aloud -mostly b/c I'm pregnant right now - so I'm not anti-man. Many thanks to Rachel Held Evans. For inviting responses and curating another good discussion.). But I feel led to address Pipers point - that Christianity is Masculine. It does seem an age marked by Eldridge's Wild at Heart. A Faith th...

Katie W(rites): May 2012
http://leavecleaveweave.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 16, 2012. We have a small repetoire of favorite Wittgens-family stories. You know one of those stories that gets told at the dinner table at every third holiday dinner and several times in between. And when its told, the details are fuzzier, yet somehow more grandiose. 160; No quieting happened. The party partied on. A bit later, Dad had had enough and went back to the deck yelling at the top of his lungs SILENCIO! Was their mother-tongue.) . Thursday, May 10, 2012. Perhaps as a sign o...

Katie W(rites): Party Hardly - Bubbly Addendum!
http://leavecleaveweave.blogspot.com/2013/11/party-hardly-bubbly-addendum.html
Monday, November 25, 2013. Party Hardly - Bubbly Addendum! Whelp If those couple of personality tests I took in highschool and college are to be trusted (believe me, I was BARELY in the camp of any of the letters) then I am a Myers Briggs ENFP. Thusly, according to this fun little libation-matcher, I am "Champagne." Lucky, bubbly me. I guess I do bring life to a party. So, if I'm champagne, I at least get to be from a lovely region of France (oui! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The One who Reigns.

Katie W(rites): November 2012
http://leavecleaveweave.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 19, 2012. I fall back to the easy, the home route, the sweatpants option. . I hope some of it, a shred at least, is because I love my family desperately. Love them enough that another blasted evening of chasing a naked near-three-year old around to wrangle her pajamas on, wrapping up a fussy baby who may or may not sleep more than 3 hrs., baths, cleanup, all that is enough to keep me here, or at least not want Jeff to suffer it alone.
