Month: May 2008

     Before we left for vacation, I finished reading Lou Priolo’s book, Teach Them Diligently – How to Use the Scriptures in Child Training.  I’ve got to tell you, this book is aptly and suitably titled!  I won’t take the time to write a lengthy review on this book.  Suffice it to say, if you, […]

     We are home again, safe and sound, though very tired and road weary.  We had a wonderful time and made lots of family memories.  Corin and my grandbabies did a wonderful job of taking care of our animals and garden and such in our absence.  We are so grateful for her willingness to help […]

           I know I say that when I am home a lot, and I mean it then, too.  Today was blessedly full, but in a very different way.  Our vacation continued with a full day, open to close, at Disneyland.  The park is closing early these days, and we found out from an […]

     We were up at 5:00 a.m. this morning.  All of us!  The animals were fed.  The balance of our stuff was loaded into the van.  One last check was made of the house, and we were off.  The front gate closed behind us at 6:03 a.m.  We were on our way.  This vacation has […]

      Last week’s menu was rather dull, don’t you think?  Ha!  If you think THAT was dull wait until you see this week’s menu.    Monday:     Breakfast:  Lemon Crumb Muffins (from the freezer stash) and bottled orange juice, to be eaten in our van, of all places!     Lunch:  I haven’t a clue     Dinner:  Not sure […]

     I saw this a few weeks ago and it made me smile.  I saved it to share with all of you today.  Our jobs are huge, but the rewards, if counted, would be a number as vast as the stars in the heavens, and they are priceless.  Enjoy!         (This video is fine and totally family […]

     My header says, “Sharing bits and pieces of my day”.  Most days I share whole, huge chunks of my day.  Tonight, though, it will just be bits and pieces.      Enjoying – time with all four of my children and all four of my grandchildren for the afternoon.      Spending time – lots of […]

          My mantra for the day was work a bit, rest a bit, work a bit, rest a bit.  It had to be that way.  The flare up of my condition continues, but I will not yield to the temptation of giving up!  Nope!  I can do all things through Him who strengthens me! […]

     There’s so much to share today!  We’ve had a day filled with good, hard work, wonderful homeschooling adventures, shrieks of terror and giggles of delight.  A couple of good questions have been brought up in the comments, and I want to answer those as well.  Where to start?      I know.  Let’s start with […]

     A copy of this book has been in my home for a few years now.  It was given to my late mother-in-love by her sister for Christmas, just a few weeks before she passed away.  I remember watching Lola read the book as she enjoyed the fire in our wood stove.  Lola, and therefore […]
