Stone House Scribblings

She hadn't really truly stopped writing blog posts. Although it seemed so. It was a problem of feeling that there wasn't anything new to say. It was always about selling the house or memories or trusting the Lord. All around the same tree over and over. Her journal was catching the words about thoughts and… Continue reading Hiatus

With our  house on the market for almost two months, be assured that my second guessing is alive and well. I'll be sad if it sells and not unhappy if it doesn't. I'll also be annoyed if it doesn't sell after the whole parade has gone on down the street for nothing. We have been… Continue reading Still Ours

Summer is the time for reunions and weddings and maintenance projects and tourists and travel and vacations. It's also the time for morning coffee on the patio. And for soaking up the sunshine. And campfire gatherings with the kids and grand-kids. This summer we have our house listed. If you wonder how that affects our… Continue reading Summer Things

It's a no-garden summer. There are a few flowers that I only have to spray for bugs and mulch for no weeds. Those are  once-and-done chores. So here I am with time to weed the gravel on the lane and pick out the weed barrier pieces that have appeared where the gravel went thin. The… Continue reading Summer

This week makes more sense to me. Work and projects are up and running again. And the Gladys Rose is outperforming herself. Angelie and I gathered a lot of the blooms and made rose water again.

So I missed Emilee's wedding that took place on the beautiful north shore. We both tried to do a few chores… Continue reading Stalled Out

Every day is another step. About trust. We each have our way of walking this out. Elv tends to consider plans for all the possibilities. "If the house doesn't sell"; we will do this plan or that one. He is never completely stalled out. While I have to trust relationships and "what will people think?". … Continue reading Trust

Everybody headed north after church lunch to Cheney Lake. Elv and I got there first around three o'clock finding the beach completely ours for the day. Instead of counting little heads near the shore all day, like we used to; we are watching big children playing and swimming off the old row boat out near… Continue reading Summer Solstice Day on Cheney

Which title makes me smile. Everyone loves a personal testimony. It's truly a little mental journey of mine involving my need to overcome and get over myself complete with my own "come to Jesus moment". And like any other testimony, you get to take it or leave as you like. I doubt I'll make many… Continue reading My Testimony
