  • Because She Asked So Nicely

    Misty mentioned on the facebook page that she has missed the menu posts. Her comment was so sweet, I decided to just carve out some time to make it happen, at least for this week. Thanks for your prayers for Copper. He had an unusually long lithotripsy procedure on Friday afternoon, and it looks like it…

  • Copper’s Day Off – 8mm Edition

    Today is Copper’s Day off. In fact, he has been home from work for about a week, and he will be home through next weekend. The poor guy has been dealing with kidney stones. We’ve travelled this road before and often, though it’s been awhile since his last episode. It’s been several years since he’s…

  • Early Morning Phone Calls

     Dani was making phone calls early this morning.   Her first phone call was to her older sister, Corin. Looks like happy news, doesn’t it?   She wasn’t the only one making happy calls to family in the front yard early this morning, though.   There was a man in the front yard, too, and…

  • Copper’s Day Off – Licensed Drivers and Moose Tracks Ice Cream

    Today was Copper’s day off, and what a full day it has been! We are in full retirement planning mode here. After more than thirty years in law enforcement, my husband has decided to retire in March. Our budget will be getting a bit of an overhaul and we have a lot of paperwork to…

  • Fall Menu Planning In Advance (among other things)

    Fall will arrive, officially, on September 22. Though it was 90° this afternoon, there was a decided “fall” feel to the afternoon breeze. I filled my arms with a few projects and headed outside to work at the picnic table in the front yard. It was pleasant in the shade, and I was able to…

  • Reclaiming the Menu Plan

    Three drivers, two cars, one husband working regular shifts plus overtime shifts, three kids with various activities taking them in three different directions at once, and the price of gas at almost $4 per gallon have all conspired to make meal times in my home a bit chaotic for the last few weeks. September is…

  • Jesus Loves Me This I Know

    I’ve been trying to write a review of this book for more than a week. I loved the book. I recommended it over and over again (to the same friend), and yet, I couldn’t find the words to write the review. Then it dawned on me. The Lord had shown me so much through the book,…

  • Help for Understanding the Election Process and Electoral College

    The Republican National Convention met in Tampa, Florida last week, and the Democratic National Convention will convene in Charlotte, North Carolina this week. Election season is in full swing, but do your kids understand the election process? Do you? America has a fairly unique process for electing her presidents. Campaigns, primaries, caucuses, party conventions and…
