All Things Home and Family
Actually, the week started last Saturday instead of thinking in the usual way that it starts on Monday. Or that's just my way of notching my stick, I suppose. Anyway, it's Saturday again. Last Saturday at this time Elv and I four-wheeler-ed up to our lamp-lit cabin and clambered down the snowbank… Continue reading The Week In Words

It's a long 12 hours to Newago, MI! It's… Continue reading A Week of Events
I lost my cell phone. It happened in one of my crazy moments. I had called a sister to "share" (air a gripe, to be honest) with her and get something off my chest. Let's just say that I didn't consider discretion and patience as the better part of being virtuous in the heat… Continue reading The Lost Cell Phone
