It's springtime now. The grass greens a bit when it rains and the spring bulbs are all coming up blades of green. Brad went to Nebraska and we miss him. We miss him for him. We also miss him for his chores. When Elv brings in firewood he makes a good job of it to last… Continue reading Spring Stuff
I rearranged the refrigerator art this morning. Gwen handed me a new piece while she was here this week so it was a good time to update anyway. Jube's beaver and Havilah's big yellow duck stay. I'll add in more as it comes. We enjoy it. There are two Thankful magnets. Elv met me here… Continue reading Gratitude Upgrade
March came in with ordinary winter weather, then promptly turned lamb-like. It was too early for spring but we all lapped it up anyway, heedlessly enjoying the warmth and disappearing snow. I walked around the house as soon as the snow was gone to find that the tulips and lilies were pushing shoots. Maybe that… Continue reading Intermission Post
Who knew that old, well-used furniture, curtains, fixtures, and our dilapidated house would become "in". What a bonanza. My ship came in without any effort whatsoever. Thanks Pinterest! I just have to laugh. While the denizens of all things popular in the world of homemaking are having a field day using markers on… Continue reading It’s Better To Laugh Than To Cry

This crocheting project is just the thing. Anybody need a large table doily? The husband and son are impressed: husband that I am not bored, and son… Continue reading Pussy Willow and Lace
Charlotte asked me this question.But I want to know, how did you do projects like that when your kiddos were small? Till I make sure my men are fed, have clean clothes, and habitable living quarters; there's not much time left for painting projects. Which makes me depressed, because it takes FOREVER to get one… Continue reading Projects and Messes
We tell our children that tomorrow's world is going to be much different than today's. We tell them that they will have worse or more intense evil to face and to teach their children against. It's a scary future if you get to focusing on the news or listening to too much VCY America radio. Being… Continue reading Wake Up Call For Us Moms
I remember when Princess House and Interior Decorating were all the rage for home makers. I was invited to parties and I even went... to covet mostly, I admit. Normal people couldn't afford the wonderful household pretties these companies offered. At one of those parties I bought a set of small square mirrors. I still… Continue reading Princess House
