"Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our
biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America.
These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American
resolve.<br />
America was targeted for attack because we're the

<br />Hello again, it's me ya'll! Long time no read, huh? Sadly it seems that I've been been a miserable failure at time management, and Blogland has fallen to the back burner so long that I had all but forgotten my password. Even the spam bots seem to have forgotten about little ole Tadpoles and Teacups!
<br />
<br />As always, it's been a super-busy summer with a never ending stream of kids, puppies, tomatoes, sunburns, cicadas, 95+ degree temps, and, of course, mountains and mountains of laundry. I love summer and the perfect blend of excitement and laziness that it brings; but when I made my way to the porch this morning to drink my coffee and to watch our hummingbirds, there was a definite crispness in the air, a hint of the fall season right around the corner. It reminded me of how much I love the fall, and harvest, and bright orange pumpkins, and the sound of crunching leaves underfoot, and......schedules.Cathy ~ Tadpoles and Teacupshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00138532109948783736noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3231218805210062977.post-67546899442788299822011-07-14T10:54:00.002-04:002011-07-14T11:01:04.843-04:00Thumbs Up!<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/eaIvk1cSyG8?rel=0" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="349" width="560"></iframe><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">"Just keep p-wacticing.

I have often inquired of myself, what great principle or idea it was that kept this Confederacy so long together. It was not the mere matter of the separation of the Colonies from the motherland; but that sentiment in the Declaration of Independence which gave liberty, not alone to the people of this country, but, I hope, to the world, for all future time. It was that which gave promise that in due time the weight would be lifted from the shoulders of all men.” </span><br /><br />~Abraham Lincoln, at an impromptu visit to Independence HallCathy ~ Tadpoles and Teacupshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00138532109948783736noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3231218805210062977.post-54715908208513150552011-06-27T09:29:00.006-04:002011-06-27T10:02:59.268-04:00Irony<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTrAl3Sr-M9CwpYIifpt5aRTo_cQmm_cDyhKQJ_4hU6iDIQ78dggDE0xjxbzy5-IRGkSGI8Dx_lrRZBilzN4FDMDM-vH5TjJwd8kkJNNYh0kJ5GmqreQglDqqwRMAcmhrW2c1Amas1aL0/s1600/468895-thursday5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 303px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTrAl3Sr-M9CwpYIifpt5aRTo_cQmm_cDyhKQJ_4hU6iDIQ78dggDE0xjxbzy5-IRGkSGI8Dx_lrRZBilzN4FDMDM-vH5TjJwd8kkJNNYh0kJ5GmqreQglDqqwRMAcmhrW2c1Amas1aL0/s400/468895-thursday5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622896157901924546" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">Editor's note: Here is another addition to my ongoing, semi-regular "Weird and Wacky (and often humorous) News File."

It's a time for slower schedules, long walks on a quiet country road, and being able to hit the snooze button more often. It means watching the acrobatic flower dance of a million honey bees and hummingbirds by day, and marveling at the rhythmic lightning bug light show by night. It means listening to the harmonic blends of the neighborhood songbirds and playing children, and also enjoying the nightly orchestra of crickets, whippoorwills, and bullfrogs. It means being thankful for a soft summer breeze to stir the hot sticky air, and occasionally getting soaked by an unexpected pop-up rain shower. It means sunburns and mosquito bites and bee stings and poison ivy, but it also means the cool soothing goodness of aloe and calamine lotion. It means cannonball splashes and swan dives, blackberry picking and tadpole catching, and watermelon eating and corn shucking. It means impromptu fishing trips at a local pond, smelling the pungent sweetness of newly-mowed grass, and enjoying a fresh-off-the-vine tomato sandwich.<br /><br />It's also a time for lazing on a creaking porch swing, listening to our kids playing music and singing family favorites like Johnny Cash, The Avett Brothers, and songs written by their great-grandfather. It's a time for cherishing family and time spent together. It's a time for remembering the past, savoring the present, and daydreaming about the future.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/x0VWugRimyw?rel=0" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="349" width="425"></iframe></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Summer.

However, it seems that the other members of "Nash-ville" are not quite as content with cows and dandelions as I am. Our crew of adventurers is determined to go to as many different faraway places as they possibly can. And apparently they've decided to do it all at roughly the same time. (Translation: instant gray hair for me!) The revolving door of world travelers keeps swinging so frequently that I can barely keep up with it all. Yes, it's why I've been AWOL from blogging; and don't even ask me about my laundry room! Recently we welcomed home one beloved member of our family from Afghanistan for a couple weeks of R and R. Next week, another family member is leaving the nest for three weeks of work at an orphanage in Ecuador. Another kid returns to Georgia the following week, after an <a href="http://tadpolesandteacups.blogspot.com/2011/01/one-and-two-and-away-we-go.html">extended study abroad adventure in Turkey</a>. And, a few days after that, yet another family member heads off to live in NY. Talk about frequent flyers! Holy moly, me, oh my! My head is spinning. Somebody pass the dramamine, the Miss Clairol, and help me remember my Skype password.<br /><br />Here's to having family home, even for tiny bits and pieces of time.Cathy ~ Tadpoles and Teacupshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00138532109948783736noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3231218805210062977.post-92117884303828052702011-04-08T09:35:00.004-04:002011-04-08T10:16:08.089-04:00Gripping<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh3Xi56PBdF-CNx5ph-1dcVUS0Uuvj106heTTNs55196mbsq2RRKrRjPrsw8_WpomhSGX-x9UTJApM-AIyHGIx_1kRRtyiwYwdx5BhLx3FzTGXHNXy4Ph2hQtYO5Zl94rk85kFFoRZ7jg/s1600/friendly+squeeze+001+600.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 343px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh3Xi56PBdF-CNx5ph-1dcVUS0Uuvj106heTTNs55196mbsq2RRKrRjPrsw8_WpomhSGX-x9UTJApM-AIyHGIx_1kRRtyiwYwdx5BhLx3FzTGXHNXy4Ph2hQtYO5Zl94rk85kFFoRZ7jg/s400/friendly+squeeze+001+600.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593206070351128482" border="0" /></a>This is one of my favorite photos of my youngest kid when she was about 5 years old.

She's settled in nicely and seems to be having a blast in spite of the rather huge language barrier and the record snowfall in the area where she's living. She also seems to be navigating this new adventure with relative ease and has managed to find her way around the city despite the confusing Turkish streets and bus routes. Our girl has, however, experienced a little bit of culture shock, which mostly pertains to how the, um, 'facilities' are positioned relative to the floor. (Let's just say that being able to keep one's balance is a key requirement.)<br /><br /><p class="yiv309751898MsoNormal"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKXHIAcUH2ItMWNP5B76IABeJo6kkh9LQfPna2JK7NXGIbRR-PvKuuba6ftZ_GnjihgpDtooDqUyWzUl8y64b8RAGUgm63vJ8jw-7lOgHcYRibAKT3W2klDLA38WMaDQAveELn7uTA9S8/s1600/soccer+girl+001.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 279px; height: 359px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKXHIAcUH2ItMWNP5B76IABeJo6kkh9LQfPna2JK7NXGIbRR-PvKuuba6ftZ_GnjihgpDtooDqUyWzUl8y64b8RAGUgm63vJ8jw-7lOgHcYRibAKT3W2klDLA38WMaDQAveELn7uTA9S8/s400/soccer+girl+001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576282632679883954" border="0" /></a></p><p class="yiv309751898MsoNormal">Anyway, while I have thoroughly enjoyed hearing about her new adventures, I've also been <a href="http://tadpolesandteacups.blogspot.com/2009/05/sometimes-id-like-to-live-on-memory.html">nostalgic and contemplative</a> since her departure. Recently I was reminded of one of my favorite stories about her as a first grader, which involves her first experience playing rec league soccer.<span style=""> </span>Oldest Girl had watched her older brother play for a couple years and decided she wanted to give it a try too.<span style=""> </span>We bought her the tiniest soccer cleats you’ve ever seen, and the smallest shin guards available and off she went to her first practice. Our girl was one of the smallest players on her team and didn’t really understand the game yet, but she enjoyed running around in her new shoes, and socializing with the other kids on her squad. The team met regularly for several weeks of practice and the coach worked patiently with the 6 and 7 year old kids, drilling them on the fundamentals of ball handling, kicking, position assignments, and strategy.</p> <p class="yiv309751898MsoNormal">When it was finally time for the first real game, most of the kids were still a bit clueless about the nuances of how the game is played (<span style="">unless, of course, you count running around in new shoes and socializing with the other kids on the squad.) </span>The coaches for both teams assembled the players in their proper positions on the field, and the ref blew the whistle to start the game.<span style=""><br /></span></p><p class="yiv309751898MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span>It was instant chaos!<span style=""> </span>The “strategy” that the coaches had instilled in the young players was quickly forgotten and all the kids from both teams (even the goalies!) ran straight for the ball, congregating in a huge mass in the center of the field, kicking and scrambling for a piece of the elusive ball. This was nothing like practice, where everyone was in organized lines and participated in orderly drills, taking turns kicking the ball.<span style=""> </span>This game looked more like two rival gangs of fire ants chasing (en masse) after a soccer ball-sized picnic crumb. </p><p style="text-align: center;" class="yiv309751898MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.hsd3.org/HighSchool/Teachers/MATTIXS/Mattix%20homepage/studentwork/nathan%20hyatts%20web%20page/assets/youth.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 242px; height: 184px;" src="http://www.hsd3.org/HighSchool/Teachers/MATTIXS/Mattix%20homepage/studentwork/nathan%20hyatts%20web%20page/assets/youth.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Image borrowed from<a href="http://www.hsd3.org/HighSchool/Teachers/MATTIXS/Mattix%20homepage/studentwork/nathan%20hyatts%20web%20page/assets/youth.jpg"> here.</a></span><br /></p><p class="yiv309751898MsoNormal">However, Oldest Girl was a bit timid at first, and she lagged behind the throng of “fire ants” and instead spent her time skipping around safely near the sideline of the field.<span style=""> </span>Gradually she began to feel a bit more comfortable, and we saw her inch toward the action; she even made one or two timid moves toward actually kicking the ball.<span style=""> </span>We watched as our girl gathered courage and she even made contact with the soccer ball, only to be pushed and shoved repeatedly by the other eager players.<span style=""> </span>Then Oldest Girl stopped cold in her tracks in the center of the field, and I was worried that she was about to cry; or worse, that she was about to give up.<span style=""> </span>Instead, she had apparently had some sort of a misguided epiphany.<span style=""> </span>I can almost imagine her thinking, “Oh!<span style=""> </span>So <i style="">this</i> is how the game is played!” It was like a light had come on in her little 6-year-old mind, and she ran over -- as fast as she could -- to a kid from the opposing team who happened to be lagging behind the group of players.<span style=""> </span>With her entire 38-pound being, Oldest Girl shoved the unsuspecting player, knocking him out of her way like there was no tomorrow!<span style=""> </span>No matter that the kid wasn’t even trying to make a play and that the ball was nowhere nearby. Before that kid could regain his bearings (or the coaches could react to the obvious foul) off our little hellion ran to find the next <s>victim</s> opponent. For the next few minutes we saw her chase down kid after kid, pushing and shoving with abandon…and maybe even with just a hint of delight.</p><p class="yiv309751898MsoNormal"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL2gTKQwjFYQRk6MJywOA6_mlohEGhGNLbP-sAY7xDzeFvNSir4la9Iy-udHcf4NNnIU4kFPWTG7WXrTk9oaUAqbaVYToc53RN3cID9z_NB57D3UWNsql4xAbv4JwD8rHu2g9IDy0Dync/s1600/il_fullxfull.179517117.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 386px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL2gTKQwjFYQRk6MJywOA6_mlohEGhGNLbP-sAY7xDzeFvNSir4la9Iy-udHcf4NNnIU4kFPWTG7WXrTk9oaUAqbaVYToc53RN3cID9z_NB57D3UWNsql4xAbv4JwD8rHu2g9IDy0Dync/s400/il_fullxfull.179517117.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576266505012699538" border="0" /></a></p> After the game Oldest Girl told me how much fun she’d had and she couldn’t wait to do it again!<span style=""> </span>Her dad and I asked her why she was so rough with the other kids and she told us that she thought the purpose of the game was to push as many kids as possible!<span style=""> </span>We (her dad and I and Oldest Girl’s coach) quickly put an end to her mistaken notion, and eventually she learned the rules and became an adept little player.

Our <a href="http://tadpolesandteacups.blogspot.com/2010/11/sibling-rivalry.html">oldest daughter</a> left to study abroad for a semester at a university in the country of Turkey. It will be 4 long months for me...4 glorious months of adventure for her. It was such a weird, happy, sad, exciting, stressful, and wonderful morning as we drove to the airport.<br /><br />I went over the checklist, and we checked it twice:<br /><br />Do you have your passport?<br />Yes, Mom.<br />Do you have your computer charger?<br />Yes, Mom.<br />What about your wallet?<br />Of course.<br />Do you think we should get you some more cash?<br />Nope, I think I have plenty.<br />Toothbrush! Did you pack your toothbrush?!<br />Yes, Mom, and toothpaste. (Eyes rolling ever so slightly now.)<br />Socks? What about socks? Shower shoes? And a rain jacket? You <span style="font-style: italic;">know</span> you'll need a rain jacket!<br />Yes! Yes!! YES!<br />Did you pack underwear?<br />Gah, Mom! Yes! I got <span style="font-style: italic;">everything.</span><br />Wait!! Are you sure you have your passport??<br />MOM!!! Please!<br /><br />Once we had confirmed (and reconfirmed) that, yes, indeed all necessary documents and undergarments were securely packed, away we went. Part of the two hour drive was filled with laughter and nervous chatter. Part of the journey, we just sat quietly thinking and wondering about what the coming months would be like.<br /><br />As fate would have it (and in spite of my OCD list checking) we still had to make a last minute pit stop at Target -- the strap on on my girl's purse broke literally on the way to the airport, so we had to find a quick make-do. We rushed in and out of Target in record time and were quickly back on the road. Fortunately we had time to spare because, even with the unplanned diversion to Target, <a href="http://tadpolesandteacups.blogspot.com/2010/04/twenty-one-years-ago.html">my girl</a> and I arrived at the airport no less than four hours early. Yes, folks, let's take a moment to let that to sink in.<span style="font-style: italic;"> Four. Hours. Early</span>. Clearly, I must have been nervous about traffic. Or maybe every clock in our house was off by 2 hours. Or perhaps I was just hyped up on little sleep and copious amounts of caffeine. Whatever the reason, I wanted to make doubly sure we got to the airport in plenty of time so my girl didn't have any stress about missing her flight. Apparently there was not much of a chance of that.<br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"><span style="background-color: rgb(102, 51, 255);"> </span></span><br />Anyway, we got her luggage checked in and the reality of the "adventure" began to really set in. Then the tears started to flow. <span style="font-style: italic;"> </span> The ticket counter attendant took pity on me and offered us a pass so that I could wait with my girl at the gate until her flight took off. Tell me there aren't nice people left in this world! Plus, the ticket attendant probably took pity on my daughter too when she noticed that I had gotten her to the airport <span style="font-style: italic;">four...hours...early</span>. So I escorted my world traveler through security and to the gate, and we spent a little more quality time laughing and talking before her flight.<br /><br />After lots of hugs and a tearful goodbye, I sent her on her way, and then I made my way out of the airport. At least I thought I was making my way out of the airport. I walked and walked and walked and walked and tried to look like I knew where I was going like an experienced world traveler. I finally found the exit just as I was beginning to wonder if I might still be wandering the halls of the Atlanta airport when my girl gets home in June.<br /><br />I'm proud of these kids of mine and admire them in their quests for excitement and adventure... but, in all honesty, finding my way out of the actual airport was enough excitement and adventure to last me for a while!!<br />:)<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9MoCfC68WV8?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9MoCfC68WV8?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /></div>Cathy ~ Tadpoles and Teacupshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00138532109948783736noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3231218805210062977.post-58679819419533872242011-01-14T19:39:00.003-05:002011-01-14T20:03:44.207-05:00Rain (or snow) On My Tin Roof<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yntw8DLLxsQ?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yntw8DLLxsQ?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />This song makes me smile. <br />And maybe I needed a smile today because I am getting tired of snow and ice, and shoveling snow, and scraping ice, and fighting with boots that keep eating my socks, and contending with a temperamental heater, and cold feet, and wiping up snow and ice, and cleaning up mud, and having to give wet muddy dogs a bath, and washing 18 loads of towels and socks and gloves, and then listening to myself complain about snow and ice, and shoveling snow, and scraping ice, and fighting with boots that keep eating my socks..... <br /><br />I think that cabin fever has set in and the only cure for cabin fever (and snow and ice, etc.) is lots of sunshine and warmer days, and perhaps waiting patiently for Spring, and listening to songs that make me smile.Cathy ~ Tadpoles and Teacupshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00138532109948783736noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3231218805210062977.post-35351450998882845122011-01-10T18:37:00.012-05:002011-01-10T19:06:06.680-05:00Snow-zone<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4eSizWfQasPliOAWM1akIZbqdHArF2o1-1ocO57uu76k636oPkgIdrpriduDQr90ikSPtTG02Kk8JU8a4xxdPTwqqWJx3DAiGX7U_EDu5SWQPWxizDD5KmWt0a7D_mWf6zjXjt7b7Uks/s1600/snow+2011+house.jpg"><img style="display: block;
