On being Southern…. My children and I have talked quite a bit lately on being Southern. It seems that we have been surrounded by negative comments about the South and the way that Southerners do things! So, today, I’m listing my favorite things about the South! Sweet Iced Tea on a front porch swing on a hot July afternoon. Fried…

Grits!
This is my sour dough starter after not having stirred it for a day. I just wanted to let you know that you should expect to see liquid settling on top. When this happens just stir it back down into the mixture. Yesterday, (giggle, giggle!), I found a recipe that looked really good for sour dough rolls. I was so…
Beware of Strangers!
This is the wreath from a couple of days back. It will take some time to dry and I know now about how much honeysuckle I will need. This wreath actually took a laundry basket full. I’m going to play with it a little more and I’ll let you know how things are going. *I’ve been asked, btw, if they…
SNAKE!
It’s been hard to get to the computer over the last few days. We’ve had so much going on….the days have gotten away from me before I’ve been able to write. This morning we’re saddened by the passing of our sweet little hamster, Snickers. Last night she apparently had injured her leg while climbing around her cage. We knew when…
Don’t Close Your Eyes
I thought you ladies might like this….this is what happens when you doze off on a Sunday afternoon in our home! Yes, Paul is under there…somewhere! : )
Clothesline, Day 2
This is my clothesline, closed. To be making such an impact on my home keeping in general, it really isn’t that big. With that said, when we are on the land that we plan on having for the rest of our lives, I would like to have iron T-bars ran, stretching the span of a good distance so that I…
Puppy is Clean!
Two meetings down and one left for Paul today. I’ve talked to him a few times and things seem to be going well for him. I’m so glad. He works so hard, it’s nice to see things begin to come together. Today, I’m working on p.j.’s for Jessica. They’ve been cut out and sitting in my sewing basket for quite…
Vandolf is Back!
Oh, the joy of Friday….after a long week, something about this day just makes me really sleepy! We picked our van “Vandolf the White” up from the car shop this morning. It still has some sounds that I’m a little uneasy with, but it runs! Paul is going to take it back next week for a quick check up. Needless…
Mosaics, Day 2
Day 2 of Mosaics….I took the day off yesterday! LOL! Today, we are going to apply grout. Please do not attempt to apply grout until your adhesive is thoroughly dry. This can, and does take some muscle! This is Jessica’s project, but I do have to help at least enough to make sure that the grout makes it down in…
15 Years!
The last 15 years have been the best of my life. I was blessed by God to have found the one person on Earth who really does complete me. Today is my 15th wedding anniversary. These are my thoughts to my sweet: My Dearest Paul, You are the love of my life and it has been a joy and a…
Sock Day!
I‘m still working on managing socks a little better around here but I thought this would give you just a little preview of what “sock day” is like at the Lambert house. This isn’t even half of what we fold and put away in our home when we match the socks. Today is Friday. It feels like this week has…
Fix Our Eyes
We’re up and moving this morning. Paul and I sat up late last night sorting through paperwork and various notes for our upcoming websites. I also enjoyed watching my hubby and helping him make camera cables for a company downtown. You wouldn’t believe how many little wires are inside of a big camera cable. I was amazed to watch him…
