It’s Great To Be Cooking Again
Oh, yes it is! After three weeks of feeling crummy, it’s great to be thinking about cooking and to be cooking again! In fact, as I was working on this week’s menu, I ran across so many yummy sounding recipes from my recipe box, or thought of things that just sounded good, that I have all of…

I’ve Got My Apron On
I have my apron on for the first time in days. I’ve been humming about today, just a bit, tending to things around my home. The chorus of coughing and sneezing continues here, but I think that all of us, save Dani, are well on the mend today. My husband has been outside today taking…

The Best We Can Do
It’s official. We are now ALL sick! Dani woke up not feeling well this morning. Drats! I’d hoped she wouldn’t catch any of this, but I suppose it was inevitable. I cannot remember a time that we have ever had anything like this in our home. Ever. William has been sick, almost constantly, for a…

New or Used? Hardback or Paperback? – Library Builders
As I’ve been building our Heritage Library these last few years, I’ve struggled with the best way to stretch our very sparse book buying dollars. Experience might tell us that buying paperback books would stretch our dollars further. Carried to the next level, buying used paperbacks would probably be the least expensive way to fill…

Providential Wrist Sprains?
I love when the Lord’s hand is readily obvious in my daily life. It’s always been so, of course. I think of that Michael. W. Smith song, “Open the eyes of my heart Lord, open the eyes of my heart, I want to see You.” Do you make that your daily prayer? I try to,…

Heeding My Own Advice
I am heeding my own advice and holding my plans loosely. After spending hours upon hours revamping our homeschool a bit………..after spending an hour or two with my husband a couple of weeks ago making plans and setting a list of home projects we hope to accomplish this year………..and after promising to get back…

Super Tuesday! – Library Builders
Do you live in a Super Tuesday state? We do! While I very much appreciate the freedom we have in this country to vote our conscience for our elected officials, as well as for other ballot measures, I have not enjoyed the half dozen or so recorded messages I’ve said, “hello” to today alone! Our…

Recipe – BBQ Hamburger Roll Up
This takes just a bit of time to put together, but it is very tasty and is a nice variation on meat loaf. Nothing exotic here, just everyday ingredients from your pantry and fridge. The sauce forms a beautiful, tasty glaze on the outside of the roll. This main dish will serve 8 – 10.…
