Month: January 2008

There are days that I wish that we could just get together for a cup of tea.  I could ask you what was on your mind, and we could chat, one on one.  Wouldn’t that be nice?  That thought occurred to me more than once today as I worked a bit in my parlor.  It…

The dailies.  The things we do every day.  The stuff of which are lives are made up.  Boring?  Nah, never boring.  Besides, as my mother-in-love always said, “Only boring people get bored”, and she was right.  She usually was.  I, for one, very much enjoy the “dailies” in my life, and never tire of them. …

It rained, buckets and buckets and buckets.  The wind blew.  Hard.  The weather man reported gusts up to 80 mph, and I’m fairly certain we had a couple of those pass through because of the damage done.  The animal pens were flooded, with no dry ground for the animals to stand on for hours at…

My mom says to tell you all thank you so much for the birthday wishes.  Her internet is close to being back up.  Currently it’s slower than dial-up, and sporadic, but when it’s up, she’s able to read a few comments before it crashes again.   She’ll be back again very soon! Running water returned…

Sproul, Jr.  Dr. Sproul has compiled contributions from twelve other notable authors on the biblical theme of the covenant family.  The book is divided into three sections that reflect the covenant family:  Fathers, Mothers and Children, followed by three valuable…

I’m at a loss for words.  Okay, okay…..the words are still all there, in my brain, I just can’t vocalize them.  It seems I have laryngitis, a bit of a sore throat and a pretty good earache.  Corin and the kids came over today anyway.  I’m so glad.  We’ve missed a couple of our Thursdays…

When I opened the blinds in the schoolroom this morning, I was greeted with such a beautiful site.  The ground was white with frost.  My beautiful black goats, striking by contrast to the frosty ground, were out calling for breakfast.  The sky was just beautiful as the sun was working its way up to the top of…
