Stone House Scribblings

Here we are, Elv and I, enjoying our "empty nest". This little house is anything but empty. It's full with only the basics of household furniture and things. So I keep it as clean and tidy as possible. There's no room for messes left from projects or dirty dishes or anything out of it's place.… Continue reading Home Life

I am loving this staying at home. I'm sorry that it came about in such an unfortunate way. I'm praying daily and doing my part. That's what we're all doing: praying and staying.

Proper stove fires keep the house warm and dry,… Continue reading A Sense of Well-Being
