  • Fast and Furious

    Whew!  We’ve had a fast and furious few days!  Christmas shopping with my husband all day Monday.  Tuesday was spent with my family taking part in some necessary herd management with our sheep and then in a wonderful family Christmas tradition.  Of course that meant an abrupt return to reality for everyone today, with homeschooling, laundry, […]

  • The Best Laid Plans

         The best laid plans sometimes need to be put aside.  Holding plans loosely makes this effortless.  I had plans for this entire week.  And I had big plans for one day next week.  All of that sort of got turned on its ear today, but because I have learned to hold onto my plans […]

  • Copper’s Wife’s 100K Give Away

    the drawing is now closed! thanks to all of you who entered. Wow! That was a LOT of you! Winners will be announced Sunday evening, sometime before I head to bed   COPPER’S WIFE’S 100K GIVE AWAY!!      I got your attention with that, didn’t I?   I don’t have 100K to give away, but as […]

  • What’s On The Menu This Week at Copper’s House

    The next few weeks will be busy in my home, as I’m sure they will be in yours as well.  For us, it’s not the time to be fussing with new recipes, or trying to introduce new foods to the kids.  Family favorites.  Tried and True.  Easy to Fix.  That’s the rule we’ll keep through […]

  • Saturday After The Ram Follies

    We’ve recovered, for the most part, from last night’s ram escape/capture escapade.  We’re actually giggling about it a bit today.  That is, giggling despite the fact that Dani has a painful left side, and my back tweeks a bit now and then.  I’m glad that a few of you caught the fact that we pursued […]

  • Six Week Raisin Bran Muffins

    Many years ago, I became acquainted with a gal, a dear sister in the Lord, through the church our families attended together. Our lives then were very different, and yet they were very similar. In many ways we were kindred spirits, but the Lord had blessed us each so very differently, it didn’t seem as […]

  • Lessons From The Homestead – Sheep Trials

         I’ve told you before how I look at the Scriptures where God compares us to sheep much differently since we’ve owned the creatures.  It’s interesting to make the comparisons.  They are lovely to look at, and I really do enjoy them.  The ram we own now we’ve had for about 2 1/2 years, and […]

  • I Want To Talk About Books

    It’s Thursday, and that means that it was Library Day at Grandma’s House.  Corin and my grandbabies drove out here in the rain and it was so wonderful to see them!  I love their sweet, smiling faces and the sight of them coming up my porch steps to my house!  They are treasures, each and […]

  • Foggy Day, Family Fun Night

    (edited – My apologies!!!  Apparently the link to the past post about my beautiful lamps (see below) was broken.  The link is now fixed.  Again, my apologies. ~ Cheryl) We woke up to a foggy, gray, drizzly, dreary day outside, but inside my home was warm, dry and cozy.  I pulled out the Christmas CD’s […]

  • You Can Take The Cop Out Of The Patrol Car………..

    ……….but you can’t always take the patrol car out of the cop.  Or something like that.  I went for a “quick” run to town with my husband mid-day today.  We wanted to have the hardware in Dani’s laptop checked out and to pick up my husband’s air compressor (which was in for warranted repair work).  […]
