There has been so much happening on our little homestead the last few days. I finished the dollar store wreath I’ve been working on (I’ll post a tutorial in the next few days)… Of course, the crafting didn’t come without some glue-gun ouchies: OUCH! OUCH! ———- The chickens are growing…we now have 48, plus our two guineas (that I think,…

An update…
…another day…. First, thank you to so many for prayers, and notes of encouragement and support. Yesterday, when I thought things couldn’t possibly get worse, they did. It happens that way sometimes. I struggle in many areas but there are a few that have been tough for me lately. I think things will never be the same in my life…and…
Quick Funny….
We all had a giggle when we received the phone book for our new city…. Please excuse the bad photography! Our old phone book was at least four times this size! I’ve never seen one so small.
September 28, 2010
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,…
Making Memories- Letters to Children
For some time, I’ve been writing letters to my children. These aren’t really on anything specific, just random thoughts, memories, things I want to share with each child. They each have baby books and I journal a lot- but these are more casual, I guess. Almost a conversation that I’m having with them at some future date. At the moment,…
Citrus Mint Tea
We haven’t always been big tea drinkers. Five or so years back, I took my girls to a tea house and I have been hooked ever since! I thought I might share a quick recipe, especially good for someone feeling a bit sickly right now (those germs love fall, don’t they?!). Citrus Mint Tea (From Celebrate the Seasons) 3 regular-size…
Welcome to Fall….
Cooler days, cooler nights, beautiful leaves, a season of memories…I’m thrilled, it’s FALL!!!

It’s Been Said…
“A road like brown ribbon, a sky that is blue, A forest of green, with the sky peeping through. Asters, deep purple, a grasshopper’s call. Today it is summer, tomorrow is fall.” –Edwina Falls
Happy Birthday, Christy!
Just a quick note to wish a dear friend a very happy birthday…. with my love,
1-2-3-4 Birthday Cake/ Mama’s Quicker Frosting
“Birthday season” is upon us. This is my absolute favorite birthday cake recipe! It’s pretty generic and can be adapted by adding nuts, or changing the flavoring just a bit. I love Paula Deen’s recipes anyway, but this is one of her best! 1-2-3-4 Birthday Cake 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, at room temperature 2 cups sugar 4 eggs 3…
Celebrating the Sabbath
A day of rest…so nice after a long week!
