For the last several years, I have participated in National Blog Posting Month, briefly known as NaBloPoMo. This year, I simply don't have what it takes to even attempt a post every day for a month. I'm just going to shoot for once a week.
In the comments to my last post I asked whether my readers pronounced "Laura" and "Lora" the same way. This is a full confession: my children are soooo tired of this discussion. They and their friends hear them the same; I grew up pronouncing them lahr-uh* and lore-uh. Now I'll try not to ever mention it again.
*Like Bert Lahr, who played the Cowardly Lion.
I need to hustle with my typing, because Branwen and her family will be here soon for the weekend. I love having grandchildren in the house, and it's even better when their parents are here too. ;-D
I'm making Slow-Cooker Green Chili Pork (Tacos) for dinner tomorrow. Last time we decided we like the meat better in buns than in corn tortillas.
This time we're trying the pork with half Mrs. Renfro's salsa. The last time it was tasty but a little bland for our taste. I'd use all Mrs. Renrfo's, but the grandchildren will be here.
For those of you for whom that last take made no sense: ordinary green salsa is made mostly with tomatillos. Mrs. Renfro's is made of jalapenos. Nuff said.
My blog post is ready, my chores are done, and my grandchildren are here. See you!

I say Law-ra, for the record. (Like Jude Law, Ty Law, and Cardinal Bernard Law.) But I'm a Bostonian and have a funny accent!
I think there's definitely a difference between Laura and Lora (or Lauren and Loren, for that matter!). I think I'm sensitive to it because Loren is a man's name and the name of the color commentator for the radio broadcasts of my university's football games. I've never noticed any of your kids calling me Loren, though!
