All Things Home and Family
Boys in our lives. So much more than the game is here. They sat here for hours that day plodding through this game. Never mind whether they enjoyed it...they started it, so they finished it. That was the impression I got from walking by and eavesdropping. But a lot can be learned about a stranger… Continue reading

You have it heard it all, over and over, about stoked stoves and drawn up chairs and the drafts in this old stone house. So I won't repeat myself. But yesterday I had a… Continue reading Home, A Hearth and a Stack of Books
I found a lost posting from way back in July or August. We went out to the woods and had supper with the loggers. I think Clark's ended up feeling left out and I don't blame them looking back on this. Havilah looks like Lisl did at this age here.

Winter is well and truly here. Have I mentioned this before? But it is a month early for sub-zero temps and lots of snow. So this is just one of my pins on the map of my journaling here for later reference. This is the year that we had snow in May and flurries again… Continue reading Thanksgiving 2014
