My husband came home from Minneapolis a week ago, today. By this point, I had purchased our groceries and was buckling my seat for what I thought the week might bring. I can’t believe it has been a week. We’ve taken classes, played games, and eaten almost every meal together around our table. My younger children have suntans from the…

Corona Virus- Quarantine, Day 6
We’ve spent much of our day cleaning in the yard again. We have pressure washed a good bit of the house. We are working to clear trees that have fallen following a season of lots of rain and storms. We planted an entire bed of zinnias and sunflowers. (I’m super-excited about these!) I took photos…
Corona Virus- Quarantine, Day 5
Today’s menu: Breakfast- Grits and a mandarin orange (thankful for fresh fruit in the house!) Lunch- Leftover fajitas (These turned out pretty great! I wasn’t sure since they already had sour cream on them.) Dinner– Taco Salad (I’m trying to use up the salad greens we have in the fridge. This was a pretty great way to make good use…
Corona Virus- Quarantine, Day 4
I had a friend use the phrase, “makeover your leftovers”. That is a good motto for what we are doing in our home, too. Today’s meals: Breakfast- Bran Muffins from the freezer with Little Smokies we found from Christmas, (also in the freezer) Lunch- Chili Mac and saltines (the chili I made yesterday cooked with elbow macaroni from the pantry)…
I’m Here.
It’s been so long. Some days, I think I will stop keeping this little space on the web. Others, I feel as if I have words spilling out- things that are happening, or I want to share. I shared with my children this morning how odd it is to see the calendar saying we are now 9 days into this…
June 9th-15th, 2019
Monday- Today is Sheryl’s memorial service. My thoughts have lingered with her family, and especially her sweet sister who is traveling to Kansas from Alabama. It all seems so surreal. I was just there with her. I can still hear her voice in my head. She is going to be missed. Darby’s Birthday Today is Ms. Darby’s 8th birthday. …

May 23, 2019
Well, this week flew on past. Monday Monday was my weekly Lyme treatment. Those are pretty quick each week. One more treatment and I can go to every other week. I’m honestly a little nervous about the appointment with the hematologist a week from now to begin the process of figuring out how to deal with chronic anemia. The paperwork…
Sheryl
May 22, 2019 I lost a dear friend today. I’ve requested prayer many times over the last couple of years for one of my longest and best friends. She has battled a cancer for years that doctors told her would take her life in months. In true Sheryl style, she lived to see her 50th wedding anniversary, the…
May 6-12, 2019
I haven’t done a week in review in a very long time. Paul has been encouraging me to step back into blogging. I told him I just wasn’t sure I had words anymore. He said, “just start.” So, here I am. 😀 (Even though it is a week behind, lol.) Monday- “The Monday Reset” For as long as I can…
May 2, 2018- Five Years
Time Hop, on Facebook, can be cruel sometimes. While it reminds us of some of the most exciting times of our lives, it also reminds us of some of the most difficult. This morning, the posts are about the night my mom passed. Waiting on the paramedics as they worked, and pleading for prayer. The flood of emotions as I…
Our Week in Review- February 25, 2018
Our Week in Review… A page turn for our family. I know these posts are long- I’m trying to be more careful about remembering the happenings each day. I’m just bringing each of you along on the ride.:) Feel free to just pick a day to read, if you would like! If you are staying for the entirety of our…
