A few photos of what we’ve been up to, and this isn’t even the half of it!!! Blessedly full days here! Dani has done some sewing. We “raised our hands up” and sang along with the Newsboys in the car. …

Recipe – MooBockOink – or – Rolled Chicken Breast
And it’s not really “MooBockOink”. In reality, you must make the noise of a cow, a chicken and a pig, in that order, and in rapid succession. Got it? Corin’s kids got it. We had tons of totally allowable snorting at last night’s dinner table because, you know, they all had to say “MooBockOink” a…

A New Week Begins
Do you look forward to Mondays? I do. I’m sure a lot of my joy in Mondays comes from the fact that my husband is home on Monday. I do look forward to Mondays for other reasons, too. After a day of worship, fellowship and rest on Sunday, I’m ready for the fresh, new…

What We’re Cooking This Week
Monday evening we’ll be celebrating Corin’s recent birthday with a dinner here. I asked her what she wanted for dinner and she said, “Surprise me.”. I decided on a dish that I’ve not made for quite a few years, but that’s always a hit. It was named by my daughters “MooBockOink” when they were…

Wednesday, Wells & Water
My husband and I had a wonderful time out together last night. I asked him, as we were pulling into the restaurant parking lot, what made him think of a dinner and movie night. He said he’d just remembered that it had been months since we’d been out just the two of us. Ah,…

Lots! Explained and Defined
The days have whisked by, but they have been so very full. Blessedly full! As I mentioned the other day, there has just been LOTS going on. It’s spring, afterall, and spring always brings a change of pace for just a brief season. Lots of projects that have waited for warmer weather. Lots of…
