  • A Peek at the Week Ahead

    Just a peek at the coming week:     Homeschooling – Just the usual, which is more than fine by me!     Home – Finishing up the deep cleaning of the bedrooms and bathrooms, and moving on to the living room, school room, sewing nook/mud room, and back porch.       In My Kitchen – Another batch of Tassajara […]

  • Whistle While You Work?

         Some folks whistle while they work.  Me?  I’m more of a thinker.  Working and thinking.  Thinking and praying.  Working and praying.  Is this your life, too?  I find that some of the best times for prayer are when I’m doing manual labor of some sort.  Folding laundry.   Ironing.  Pulling weeds (something I’ve […]

  • Tradition!

         Tradition!  I love that word!  It’s hard for me to say it, or even read it, without the song from Fiddler on the Roof popping into my head.  Tradition!            Traditions are part of what set one family apart from another.  Our celebrations of holidays, the way we welcome new members into our […]

  • A Season of Jammie Days

         We’re jammie people.  There, I’ve admitted it publicly.  Whew, glad that’s off my mind!  The truth is we enjoy leisurely mornings and having our breakfast, and maybe even that second cup of coffee or tea, before getting dressed for the day.  When we’re sick, there’s nothing like an all day jammie day, spent […]

  • You Just Never Know

         You just never know, do you?  We think we know what is in store for us, but we really just never know until the time comes.  Good thing we’re all holding our plans loosely!          Overtime has been scarce for the last several months.  I’ve mentioned recently, though, that God has provided some overtime […]

  • Stay Tuned

         It’s been a fabulous day!  It’s rained hard off and on all day, and this evening we enjoyed the sounds of a thunder storm.  This afternoon, Dani and I met the birthday girl at the hospital for her ultrasound appointment.  The plan was for us to sit with my five grandbabies in the waiting […]

  • A Peek at the Week Ahead

         Just a peek at the week ahead:         Homeschooling – This week will find us back into the swing of things homeschooling-wise after a week long Easter break.  Aaron’s school week will be short (see below), but William will enjoy a full schedule.  I’m looking forward to the return of the daily school […]

  • Sweet Reminders

         I’m working my way back into normal routines again.  After such a long season of illness for us, it’s so sweet to be enjoying good health and renewed energy.  Especially the renewed energy!  We had a glorious early spring that was way too short.  April arrived with the recurrence of winter temperatures, lots of […]
