Month: February 2012

  • Not Too Tightly

    I made big plans for February. There were a couple of projects that I hoped to accomplish. February was the month that I thought I might check another couple of items off of my 2012 goals list, and set some intermediary steps toward meeting some of my other goals. February, however, has already brought several […]

  • Money for Nothing

    Several years ago, Dani started reading P.G. Wodehouse. After watching her enjoy several of his books, and knowing several other gals who enjoyed him, I picked one up and gave it a go. I’m so glad I did! P.G. Wodehouse is an author I count on to help fill the “just for fun” niche in […]

  • Copper’s Day Off – While He’s Away Edition

    My husband worked an overtime shift today. He was out the door before 6:00 this morning, and he won’t be back home until after 9:00 tonight. He’ll meet me in town for our small group Bible study this evening after work. We miss having him here, but we are so thankful to God for the […]

  • Letters to an American Lady

    The age of writing an old-fashioned letter seems to be at a close. That’s regrettable. I know, first hand, what deep, enduring relationships can be formed through letter writing. In fact, Copper and I had only dated for a few, short weeks before he left for college. We wrote dozens of letters in the months […]

  • Funny February & Our Mocha Secret

    February is a peculiar month. The thrill of the holiday season is long forgotten. The anticipation that comes with the start of a new year is now fading. Spring is several weeks away. For all of that, February is a lovely month for staying put and enjoying our homes. I packed away my small collection […]
