What’s On The Menu This Week at Copper’s House
The next few weeks will be busy in my home, as I’m sure they will be in yours as well. For us, it’s not the time to be fussing with new recipes, or trying to introduce new foods to the kids. Family favorites. Tried and True. Easy to Fix. That’s the rule we’ll keep through…

Saturday After The Ram Follies
We’ve recovered, for the most part, from last night’s ram escape/capture escapade. We’re actually giggling about it a bit today. That is, giggling despite the fact that Dani has a painful left side, and my back tweeks a bit now and then. I’m glad that a few of you caught the fact that we pursued…

Six Week Raisin Bran Muffins
Many years ago, I became acquainted with a gal, a dear sister in the Lord, through the church our families attended together. Our lives then were very different, and yet they were very similar. In many ways we were kindred spirits, but the Lord had blessed us each so very differently, it didn’t seem as…

Lessons From The Homestead – Sheep Trials
I’ve told you before how I look at the Scriptures where God compares us to sheep much differently since we’ve owned the creatures. It’s interesting to make the comparisons. They are lovely to look at, and I really do enjoy them. The ram we own now we’ve had for about 2 1/2 years, and…

I Want To Talk About Books
It’s Thursday, and that means that it was Library Day at Grandma’s House. Corin and my grandbabies drove out here in the rain and it was so wonderful to see them! I love their sweet, smiling faces and the sight of them coming up my porch steps to my house! They are treasures, each and…

Foggy Day, Family Fun Night
(edited – My apologies!!! Apparently the link to the past post about my beautiful lamps (see below) was broken. The link is now fixed. Again, my apologies. ~ Cheryl) We woke up to a foggy, gray, drizzly, dreary day outside, but inside my home was warm, dry and cozy. I pulled out the Christmas CD’s…

You Can Take The Cop Out Of The Patrol Car………..
……….but you can’t always take the patrol car out of the cop. Or something like that. I went for a “quick” run to town with my husband mid-day today. We wanted to have the hardware in Dani’s laptop checked out and to pick up my husband’s air compressor (which was in for warranted repair work). …

My Husband Has Mondays Off
My husband has Mondays off, except for when he doesn’t. Take today, for example. He’s off, but he’s not. Technically, he is off from work today and tomorrow, but the county has scheduled him for training both days – from 3:00 p.m. until 1:00 a.m! At least he was home with us for a bit…

Christmas Read Alouds – Library Builders
We have quite a few Christmas books in our Heritage Library. Some are for the very young, and some are for the grown ups. At least half, though, are great read alouds for the family. We really don’t have nearly as many books for this particular holiday as I’d like to have, but every year I add a…

Remembering Our Priorities
My boys and I conquered the mega-shop yesterday. We were gone for six hours, including a quick lunch at McDonald’s. Not so quick that Will couldn’t take a quick romp in the play area, though. We moved quickly through all of our stops, though we didn’t rush. In all honestly, we couldn’t rush as the…
Got any book recommendations?
