Dance at Dickens
by kgroke on Dec.12, 2011, under About Me
The Groke Chiclets have spent much of the year in Mrs Summers House of Dance. This week they got to perform at the St George Dickens’ Festival. They did a wonderful job, and now, thanks to the modern miracle of computers, you can enjoy their dancing in the comfort of your own home! Just click the video below.

We love the UK
by kgroke on Mar.01, 2011, under Family
In February I needed to go to the UK for a conference, and my wonderful boss told me to take Meg and take some extra time to enjoy it! We had a wonderful 10 days in Wales, Bath and London. Castles, cathedrals, ancient roman ruins, the Tower of London, romantic Bed and Breakfasts and falling in love all over again. We loved every moment of the trip and still think about it every day. Thank you everyone that cared for our girls!
Three days till Christmas
by Filly on Dec.22, 2010, under Family
Editor’s Note: Welcome to our new author, Filly, my 9 year old Daughter!
Stockings are hung. 2 Christmas trees are beautiful with lights and ornaments. Christmas goodies handed out to friends. I’m excited but don’t know if I can last for the 3 days before Christmas day. I’m trying to be good, and I’m pretty sure my sisters have been good too, and are trying to be.
My Christmas List:
- Nancy Drew Books
- Lego Harry Potter Video Game
- Mermaid Novels
- How to Train Your Dragon – movie
- Recorder
- Magic Training Book & Supplies
- Viva Piñata Video Game(our copy is scratched)
This is the downstairs Christmas Tree
And this is the upstairs living room.

Finally, a politician who tells the truth
by kgroke on May.14, 2010, under Interesting, Video
Governer Christie of New Jersey doesn’t hold to the double talk of most politicians, finally a breath of fresh air. My favorite quote “I came here to govern, not worry about getting re-elected”
Rockin’
by kgroke on Feb.14, 2010, under Family
Natalyn and I went to the rock climbing gym for our date last night. This was her third time there, and she finally made it to the top, and not only once, she made it up three times!
I also was finally able to make it all the way up the “hard” wall without falling. So a first for both of us.
Thanks for the fun date, Natalyn.
