All Things Home and Family
I've been inspired lately about groceries and suppers and tomorrow's lunches. I'm motivated by the need for healthy eating, because we tend toward old people's problems like diabetes. I'm also motivated because we have quotas to meet: money, calories, and other amounts, like proteins and carbs. Every bite in the end has to mean something… Continue reading Beautiful Plates (20 Minutes)
It's got to be happy today for writing. So I brought out the lemon greenery. Yesterday I fluffed our bedroom. Which means that I dusted the shelving and night stands and the log headboard. Those statements do not come close to what really I did. We had dust, and static fit to kill all over… Continue reading Write for 20 Minutes
Shep was howling on and on. We finally woke up to a strange orange-y glow coming through the windows. Actually, it felt orange-y glow in the room. Warm, like a fire. Finally, after three weeks of living in this cold, little house, I felt warm, but something was terribly wrong. As we left the room,… Continue reading Twenty Minute Scribble
Never once thought of writing today. Here it is after nine. We listened to our son tell us about lessons he's learned from marriage from the pulpit this evening. The Sunday evening committee's assignment was given to three of the men from church. He did a good job and I feel certain that he is… Continue reading 20 Minutes of Words
It was a wedding invitation. I finally got down to actually studying this parable. The detail is rich, you guys. You have to know a bit about Jewish weddings in the first place to understand what really is happening in Jesus' story. Also, the two invitations, and the seriousness of not accepting them becomes clear… Continue reading Another 20 Minutes
It's Thursday. A home day. Home days are meant for homekeeping around here. Sometimes that means cleaning and organizing or kitchen work. Most of the time that means reading or creating more messes. Today I started out with studying mostly just sitting and thinking about our Sunday School text. I am the teacher for the… Continue reading 20 Minutes
But it's still in handwriting in my journal. And I don't expect you to try to read this. You can if you want, but don't. It'll be meaningless. The page before this one is better. But it's too personal about prayer and things and nobody's business. I did have the strangest communication by text today.… Continue reading Twenty Minutes
What Am I Doing Today? It's Tuesday. There's sewing circle today. I don't work on my job today, so I could go. I could stay at home and sew up my own comforter top that's all laid out on the guest bed upstairs. I could sit here by the fire and watch the birds at… Continue reading 20 Minutes #2
I'm really not good at challenges about writing daily, but for once here's one that maybe I could meet. Thanks Shilah. House plants help me to keep hope. I like winter, but I think what I like about it is the hyggelig vibe of winter. The places of warmth, comfort and beauty that become important… Continue reading 20 Minute Scribbling
January is the month for store orders. Glossy catalogs. Shopping and planning ahead for another four seasons of gift retail in Hayward Wisconsin. Keep in mind that the gift store at Northwoods Outdoor, is not the main theme here. But that doesn't discourage us girls in the least. In fact, maybe it comforts us and… Continue reading January Things
