All Things Home and Family
We made our yearly sojourn to Copper Falls last Saturday. We took the same hike we always take on the very much man-made and maintained trail, complete with bridges, steps, and railings around Brownstone Falls. Happiness is playing where there are trees, water, and skies for this family.
We live from lists at our house. Work lists, item lists, camping lists, load lists, grocery lists, packing lists, wish lists, and happy lists. I am hopelessly forgetful and disorganized without them. Grocery needs that are not on the list don't happen. I have gotten our family onto list making. Elv makes… Continue reading Lists…For Life @TheStoneHouse
I posted this picture on Facebook and kept thinking it was on blogger. It’s time to put the last post down further on the page. So this is my paltry offering today. Our week was good/busy with work and plans. Frances is on her countdown, operating from lists she’s been making. Packing to go overseas… Continue reading Woods Evening
I am glad today will soon be over. Not that anything bad happened…it was just a day when I could cry over things. Things that tomorrow won’t seem like anything. “Horror Moans” is what our daughter-in-law says. Aren’t we all glad that our salvation is not gauged by how we feel? We split… Continue reading One Of Those Days

Though I’m glad that age/grade segregation is not so important and functional now-a-days, being homeschoolers, I always hope that our children enjoy the little epoch entries of growing up through the… Continue reading Sixteen, Summer of 2012
Instead of being at the A. Kauffman family reunion, our family was off to the North Shore for a weekend of work and play. We received several texts from you Kauffman people and we enjoyed them and appreciated knowing we were missed, so don’t get me wrong when I say that our weekend was very… Continue reading Buck Mountain Acres Accomplishments
We camped all weekend with church family and friends. This is a picture post of same. Think: boats, canoes, fishing, children, circles of people, hamburgers, frying fish, lawn chairs all over, life jackets on children all day and otherwise laying around all along the shoreline. Kub and Ladder Golf and Foray Chess. Laughter, good natured… Continue reading Summer Campout 2012
Benny, the baby around here who keeps us all on our toes. He is about to be joined by a new brother or sister and have his world changed forever. We are all smiling about this. So far he thinks we are his, exclusively, for entertainment, play, or comfort depending on his current… Continue reading Playing With My Camera Phone and Picasa 3
I want to write yesterday down, not because it was extraordinary or special, but because there was nice variety and fun little incidents along the way. The day started out ordinary enough with our coffee time before going our separate ways. My day was cleared for just one major project. But I’m getting… Continue reading A Day In My Life
