Traditional Thanksgiving
That's what Elv said he wanted this year... a formal meal in the early afternoon.So: Clark bought the biggest turkey out there not unlike Bob Crachit's own, long ago described in the pages of A Christmas Carol by Dickens. He marinaded it in apple juice and other goodies, of which I have no clue, for… Continue reading Traditional Thanksgiving

In living rooms and around tables. Rows of shining faces along long tables laden with… Continue reading Thanksgiving Week
A Thousand Word Picture
This picture tells Elv a lot of things. Which machine, which pickup, which job, the circumstance of having the travel trailer on the job. I put it here for the record. The date is July 2013. It wasn't a very good piece of stumpage. I saw the color: red geranium, red pickup, red processor… Continue reading A Thousand Word Picture

The sun rose an orange ball behind the moving fog everywhere. Lovely November morning...the perfect harbinger to freeze-up just around the corner.

Miracles are happening all the time...are we seeing them?" - a friend from church shared this during Sunday School" You must be willing to be expended emotionally… Continue reading Selections From The Weekend
Hearth Moments
Mid afternoon at home by a crackling, flickering fire, just me with a cup of coffee and the computer. It is a surprise quiet after a fortnight of wedding rush and work. As we were leaving the reception hall today the last of the chairs and tables had been parked in the hidden away places… Continue reading Hearth Moments
The Table At Home
Because Lisl showed us her pretty table on her post , I decided to show her/you, ours, as well. I love the colors of fall decor. Warm and cozy, earthy colors. The birds are enjoying the deer tallow hung there in the window. It's a yucky, butcher-y looking thing and I don't know why I… Continue reading The Table At Home
