This blog, The Space Between the Notes, is about six years old.  During the time I've kept it, Facebook, MySpace, podcasting and e-mail have undergone transformations which have shaped the way I use The Space Between the Notes.  I've decided to take a sabbatical from making new posts to this blog during 2012.  I'm not sure how long it will be for (a year?).  During that time I will likely do a

Since the biggest Christmas worship services have been completed and I let the kids (nieces and nephew) do the decorating, all of the decorations are at kiddie viewing level. It is editing day NOT boxing day in our home. We're aiming to keep the decorations very much the way they left them, but we are making a few adjustments to suit our symmetrical and functional needs.

These Swedish mice are the new "guys" on the block. They were a gift from my older brother-in-law. We call them guys because my young nieces and nephew refer to their own brood of stuffed animals as guys.

Hubby and I rode the 55 Express for the first time today. What a God send! We got on in Prunedale at 3:49 p.m. after spending the previous night at my parents. We headed for the San Jose Diridon CalTrain Station. Our arrival coordinated with the express train to San Francisco. It wasn't until this past week that I'd learned about Bus 55. The only other way I'd known how to get from Gilroy to the

I suppose it could be a blessing in disguise that I haven't been able to get to FACEBOOK from my GoPhone lately because it contains unsupported content. Perhaps I could download an application, but last time I did that the application took away the need to sign in which I didn't like. There was a point in time when I didn't want my phone to do so much because I was afraid of being unable to

Debating with myself about moving on with a sequence or moving on with other stuff such as breakfast. I slept wrong-strange body contortions-but I had fun dreams! Anyway, I had to repeat the first standing poses three times which was two more times than usual in order to loosen my lower back muscles but my abs feel the extra moves.

Hubby took this picture on our way to the Glover/Lenk recital on Friday. I dubbed this my Mozart shawl because I was listening to a Mozart sonata over and over while I crocheted it some time ago.

This hat was made much faster than my white one because the top is crocheted rather than braided. It took somewhere between one and a half to two hours. I single crocheted with a size G hook and doubled the yarn throughout to give it some stiffness. I'm pleased with the way it holds its shape. When shaping the sides I made the first row in the back stitch as if ribbing to better define the box.

Put in a little bit over an hour on Bible study outline calligraphy today as well as a half hour yesterday. I do a master on graph paper first. The graph paper lines won't show when it is sent to the printers to be reduced and put on card stock.

Spent about an hour and a half reading through chapters 4 and 5 of Luther's commentary on Song of Solomon.

I listen to quite a bit of music while I flatten tortilla dough by hand. I use to use a roller and then cook them on the stove top, but after playing with different baking methods we've developed a preference for the rustic results of hand pressed and oven baked for six minutes at 425°.

Hubby and I just passed the evening engaged in language art. I decided to try my hand at putting our shopping list in French, there by testing and expanding both of our skills. He amused me with the latest chapter of the novel he's been writing.

I found this sage plant at Trader Joe's for $2.99 while I was out on a walk. The purchase wasn't entirely unplanned. A window garden with herbs has been brewing in my mind for a while.

In order to keep my current loose leaf projects from getting mixed up with other stuff I put them in envelopes with calligraphied labels. This way out of sight neatness doesn't make them out of mind. Instead, I'm reminded by something I find visibly pleasing.

I got out of bed at 4 a.m. after waking up without an alarm and spent an hour and 10 minutes dividing the two chapters into three portions. I also made a 10 word, gramatically correct, summarizing sentence. Each portion has a lesson and reflection question as does the summary sentence.

Spent about 20 minutes while it was still dark looking up and copying down cross references again (5:43-6:03 a.m.). I kept getting distracted by my own thoughts. I'm done with that portion now. Hooray!

I thought it might be a good idea to keep track of how much time I spend prepping for a small women's group I lead once per month as well as how I use that time, perhaps even the why's. This morning: one hour reading through Song of Solomon Ch. 4-6:3 with looking up and copying down cross references. E-mailed our publisist as well.
