     I read these words, “It’s a Marathon, Not a Sprint”, in an article the other day and had another light bulb moment.  Though the article dealt with administering an elimination diet to autistic children, those words just jumped off the page at me.  A marathon, not a sprint.  I don’t know why I’m so […]

This made me laugh:  My son, is his jammies, with the antique 3-D post card viewer.  We are so pleased to have this because it is a family heirloom.  The device is actually called a stereoscope.  Ours is very old and it is in mint condition, as are all of the 100 or so slides.  Every once in awhile one […]

No, not those weird brightly colored marshmallow things….real peeps!!!   We replace our laying flock every three years, and this is the year!  We’d decided on our two favorite breeds, 25 chicks total.  Last time we bought chicks we had a hard time finding the quantities we wanted locally.  We thought we’d have to mail order them this […]

There is a time to mourn.  There is a time to grieve . We will miss Grandma Nora always.  But today it is time to move forward.  The boys and I will be re-establishing our homeschool routine.  After several days away from our routine, it will be a struggle for all of us.  But it’s […]

     Thank you all for your kind words this last week.  They have been very much appreciated.  We have had a blessed time today with family as Grandma Nora was laid to rest, but we are all weary and tired.  I will, Lord willing, be back posting in a day or two.  God bless you […]

“Do not let your adorning be external – the braiding of the hair, the wearing of gold, or the putting on of clothing – but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious.” (I Peter 3:3-4) […]

Late last night, Copper’s Grandmother, my children’s Great Grandmother, and my granchildren’s Great Great Grandmother passed away.  She was 103 years old.  She had been battling double pneumonia.  We will miss her sorely.  As we’ve shed tears and remembered this morning, this song has been running through my mind.  What an incredible promise we have […]

The boys’ church clothes belong in the boys’ closet, but for the past year and a half, they have been in the master bedroom closet.  The problem was not easy to solve.  There are no closet doors in my boys’ room.  We took them down when both boys were small because the doors were frequently knocked […]

(Today’s post touches on a topic that might not be suitable for young, unmarried women.  If you are an unmarried young lady, living under your parents’ authority, I would ask that you consult a parent before reading my post today.  Thank you for your understanding.)          There are several things I could say about Dove’s […]

The only cure for Spring Fever is to give in to it!  Yesterday afternoon I decided to do what I could outside.  I  took down the hummingbird feeder and the decorative bird house from the back porch and washed them both.  We’re out of hummingbird food, so the feeder is still in the kitchen.  Yes, […]
