  • Quiet Thursday, Reflective Thursday

    We had a quiet day.  A good day.  For me, there was a lot of reflection and thought, too.  And time for silent  prayer for those dear to me who are in need.  Praying for Eric, his wife and children, and for the medical staff overseeing his care.  Praying for my friend, Lisa, and baby […]

  • Urgent Prayer Needed

         Please, my friends, pray today for a church friend of ours.  Eric is a young man of just 40 and a homeschooling father of six.  He is currently in ICU and he has been intubated.  Please pray for his immediate recovery, for peace for his wife and children, and for WISDOM for the doctors.  […]

  • Workin’ In My Home On A Wednesday

    Thank you all, so much, for your sweet compliments and kind words about our porch.  I am just so pleased with it, and cannot tell my husband enough what a great job he did!  I just love being out there.  It’s quite cool here these days, but the full afternoon sun is on the porch […]

  • Tuesday

    Good neighbors!  We’ve got ’em!  I’ve bragged on my neighbors before, but they really are the best.  My husband had quite a bit of extra material to return to the lumber yard, and the pieces were too long for our little utility trailer.  He walked next door this morning and came back with their heavy […]

  • Blessing Your Family Creatively

    We had a wonderful Monday, full of lots of errands and appointments, visiting with extended family, a bit of shopping, and laughing until our sides hurt over dinner!  It didn’t start out to be that sort of day, but that’s how it turned out.  What a sweet day, spent with my treasured family. We started […]

  • What’s On the Menu This Week At Copper’s House

    This week’s menu is nothing special.  A lot of tried and true, family favorites, most quick to fix, to best fit our busy week ahead.  We’ll be in town Monday for a couple of appointments and then in town again Friday for the mega shop.  Dani will be gone Wednesday until Friday evening.  Add to […]

  • Best Thanksgiving Fun

    I hope that you enjoyed a wonderful, thoughtul Thanksgiving Day.  We did!  My husband worked the entire  day, right up until the time that the kids arrived, on the porch. The boys spent their morning, as my children always have, watching the Macy’s parade on t.v., followed by the big dog show.  We enjoyed a […]

  • You All Are The Best!

    You all are the best, you really are!  I’ve had so many sweet messages, e-mails and comments from so many of you.   And not one of you has scolded me for not posting as promised yesterday.  Did you know that you guys bless me?  You do, and your words are such an encouragement to me.  […]

  • Not Quite At The Speed Of Light

    Dani and I moved quickly yesterday.  We weren’t quite moving at the speed of light, but we did work fast.    We headed to town for the mega-shop around 10:30, telling the guys that we’d be home by 3:00.  I walked right up to the teller’s window at the bank, took care of my transaction, and […]
