All Things Home and Family
Our morning started in the wee hours with a fire call. Elv went out quickly, running and doors slamming behind him. I tried to sleep between praying that he and the others would be safe. It was a house fire, nobody there, and quite consumed before they even got called out. But it got… Continue reading Monday Morning
The grand-kiddos have discovered our wide window sills. This is a recipe for pinched fingers but who can resist taking a picture of the party? There is never a dull moment around here. The beautiful Havilah. She doesn't seem to mind that she is the only girl among the troop of boys in our family. She… Continue reading End of the Week Posting
I have been noticing that if I want to have a proper memory book to print of this blogging; I must include more pictures of people in action in our real life. I freely admit I am over doing this but it was such a lot of fun. What they're doing here is brainstorming how to… Continue reading Cousins In a Canoe
It is the time of the year for wild flower bouquets. We gather them on our walks in pastures, ditches, or along woods trails. Yesterday, driving along, and Lisl shouted "Stop, this is what I came home from Thailand for." I had to turn the car around. Fields of daisies, and bird's foot trefoil,… Continue reading Summer Bouquets

Breakfast coming right up. How do we all fit? We don't. So Amy, Brad, and Lance each find a place to put up a tent for… Continue reading More Summer Collages

Perhaps flowers bloom because of piles of snow. Now there's a thought. We have had a few "rainy" days here: relationship issues… Continue reading Summertime Scribblings
The wedding flowers came to our door on Thursday, two days before the wedding. The bride and groom to be were here, for a wonder, at the moment, as well as his parents. Elv was home, too. To have everyone here was not prearranged by us, but perfect timing by God, I guess. … Continue reading Flowers For A Wedding
The Wedding was beautiful. The groom handsome, the bride dazzling. More pictures and details later.
We have been working hard on our up coming wedding. Elv has been faithfully praying with us girls that "things will go smoothly" in reference to our shopping, creating, and planning. And God has been good to us. Little details fall into place as we go along here that prove His foreknowledge of… Continue reading Intermission
We had our first picnic of the season on the patio last night. It was just about perfect. Elv grilled hamburgers and brats while dishes of salads and deserts, by the girls, were put on the table. The pleasant days of early summer are best spent being busy with new jobs, gardening, spring cleaning and… Continue reading Supper On The Patio
