Spring days seem to drift in and out so very quickly! I have lists and lists of projects I would like to tackle. Little boys are learning to read and write. Older children are working on their daily tasks, and blossoming into the adults that I’ve seen a little glimpse of here and there through the years. Time is indeed,…

There is a day, that arrives at some point– you may not even notice at first, when you realize your children are grown. On this day, I have watched my oldest son, Joshua, put in a full day’s work in our yard. He has cleared years of under-brush left growing by the previous owners of our home. It’s been hard…

We’re preparing for new chicks! Twenty-six of them to be exact!! They are supposed to be here by February 1st. I hadn’t even thought about them until yesterday when I happened to glance down at my calendar. I have a list of supplies which need to be assembled. I don’t want one of those, “I had to place my chicks…

Otherwise known as “how to start a conversation in the grocery store”….. I know we can’t be the only ones who stock up on sale items!! o_O

Working on our “secret” project! My Mom came out to visit this weekend. I can’t wait to show you what she made for one of the girls, but it will have to wait until a little later this week. This weekend, she came to help with our annual chili day. Normally, we make enough to have several meals in the…

Under SIXTY DOLLARSr! Can you believe that’s all the car repair cost us?? I’m not sure I’ve ever had a car repair bill that low…what a blessing! So now, we have our big blue truck back in the driveway and we’re now looking for our next family vehicle. Up until this week, we were pretty sold on just replacing our…

I *detest* car problems. In 2003, we were hit by another car that totaled our 15 passenger van. Since then, we’ve pretty much been a one car family. Generally, this doesn’t cause too many issues. Paul works an awful lot, but he and I enjoy store trips together each week. (Consider it a purposeful date, LOL!) I’ll tell you, one…

It has been a long, long weekend. I feel like an egg that has been cracked and fried to a crisp. It seemed this last weekend, every time Paul and I turned around, something else strange or horrible was happening. I’m thankful for the friends who have sent me little notes to tell me they are sorry for one event,…

We have waited on this day for a week! Paul has been away on business. This is day seven– The day he returns home– The day I’ll be able to see my sweetheart’s face again– The day things return to normal (if there is a normal around here, LOL!)– The day I will get some sleep. Having a husband that…
Around the house…
Little boys playing in the woods… Tiny tots on the swing… A lazy kitty….

The first week of September is always a sweet time in our area. A few of the leaves are beginning to change and fall. The temperatures aren’t horrible during the day and the evening is becoming cool and crisp. On this day, we’ve opened our windows to allow the breeze to flow through our home. This morning, that seemed like…
