Month: July 2007

I finished up the apron I’ve been working on this morning.  I took a picture of Dani wearing it for those of you who asked to see it.  It is a belated birthday gift for a dear friend, but I gave her a sneak peek of t it last Sunday so I’m not ruining the […]

We were a week late getting it started, but today was our first ever, weekly (Lord willing) library day at Grandma’s house.  I don’t know about Corin and the grandbabies, but this Grandma had a wonderful time! I started my day off by working quickly to get as much of my day’s work behind me […]

Bad days.  Everyone has ‘em.  Lord willing they don’t happen often in your home.  I thought a lot about “bad days” today.  What constitutes a bad day for you?  How do you handle a bad day when it does happen?  What can you do to redeem a bad day?  Can you meet that bad day […]

The Lord graciously granted me a good night’s sleep, and I woke up this morning feeling rested and well!  It’s a complete turn around from yesterday.  I am thankful!  After breakfast I was able to jump right into all of the daily morning tasks about my home.  Oh, it felt so good to be doing […]

We had a wonderful Sunday.  For the second Sunday in a row our van refused to start for us; but my husband just rolled the van out of the garage onto the driveway (with all of us seated comfortably inside) and used the jumper cables from his car to get us started and on our way.  We […]

We had a very full, very busy day today.  Saturdays are full of outside chores for the boys, lots of laundry for me, baking and cooking for Dani and I for our Sunday meal(s),  and many household tasks.   I fell behind a bit on all the watering and irrigating this week, so that had to […]

     The boys and I got a late start on our shopping trip today.  Every two weeks I determine that we will get an earlier start, but we just never do.  By the time we’ve had our pancake breakfast and taken care of the morning chores, it’s usually quite late in the morning.  We do […]

Frugal living is a tricky thing.  Sometimes we can be penny wise and pound foolish.  I have found this old saying to be true over the years.  Here is just one example. When my husband and I were married, the girls on the drill team that I was directing pooled their funds and bought us […]

My grandbabies did not come for their library day with Grandma today.  We were all so disappointed!  My oldest grandson has an easily disturbed tummy.  Boy was it disturbed this morning!  It’s really not anything to cause too much worry.  His momma was the same way when she was a little girl.  I prayed that […]
