    Thank you all, so very much, for your sweet messages and prayers.  I am feeling great today!  In fact, I was feeling very well by late in the day yesterday.  After spending so long at the computer yesterday doing  so much necessary work – ordering, researching, filing of forms, etc., my body was ready for some exercise!  First,…

         I do appreciate all of your prayers.  I am feeling much better today.  Not quite fit as a fiddle, but better.  Things have been just a bit busy here.  I had quite a bit of on-line business to tend to today for my husband, our homeschool, researching, ordering medications for my family, etc.  It required…

    First things first, thank you, all of you, for your prayers.  My friend Lisa continues at the hospital and we are continuing in prayer for her and her tiny baby girl.  Dani is doing well, but she is very busy keeping the home fires burning in Lisa’s absence from her home.  My sweet husband came home…

    Outside the air is fragrant with the scent of rain washed everything.  Even the wet ground in the animal pens smells nice!  Inside, the candle warmers were all turned on first thing this morning.  The lovely aroma of a spicy scented candle is fragrancing my living room, and the scent from my fresh cut roses…

    Fall off the deep end? Amy (mambeanof4) is that what you asked me? Did I fall off the Menu Plan Monday deep end?  Oh, Sister!  If you only knew the half of it! The truth of the matter is that I did not get my menu plan for this week made up.  I try to…

  • Homemade (mostly) Whole Wheat Buttermilk Baking Mix

    I have made this homemade Buttermilk Baking Mix off and on for my family for more than a decade. The terrific thing about this particular recipe is that it substitutes cup for cup for any Bisquick recipe I have in my files. Coffee cakes, pancakes, waffles, biscuits, muffins…..anything, and the resulting product is always great!…

    We have had the most glorious fall day!  It was crisp and cold this morning, so Aaron built a fire in the wood stove to warm the house.  By early afternoon, though, I was opening up windows and doors to let the fresh air in, but a fire again this evening will probably feel good! …

    I wanted to pop in quickly tonight, and thank all of you for praying for Copper.  He had an appointment early  this afternoon with the doctor, and she prescribed a couple of medications for him.  I am thanking the Lord because he is feeling so much better. Our Saturday, as usual, was quite busy; but…

    My son, Aaron, learned a new word today.  He heard it used in conversation multiple times in a thirty minute period late this morning.  The word was “obsolete”.  We were able to discuss that word throughout the day today, as well as how it applied to various aspects of the life he knows.  More on…

    As I sat down to relax a bit in my parlor late this afternoon, the sun, low in the autumn sky, was shining brightly  on a pretty, footed tea cup.  I have several tea cups on the bottom of my tea cart.  The tea cart itself was a gift from my mom, so many years…
