All Things Home and Family
Summer flowers make me happy. When I was washing windows outside today, the scent of the roses blooming in the hot sun came to me from across the lawn. It lifted my heart. Not that I am downcast at all. I could be, I suppose, for we live in a world of ordinary people who… Continue reading Summer Post
We found a minute to go to the cabin to mow the lawn and wash the windows on Monday and Tuesday. The field at the end of Joshua Road was white with flowers. And the woods were abloom with bluebells, wild roses and other flowers that I don't know the names of.It was cool up… Continue reading Summer Ready
In May Amy and I traveled down to Nebraska to help Francis paint her "new" house. We spent the first evening at Gabe's because they were headed off to a wedding in Indiana. (I wonder if recording such little details matters here.) Meet Gwen, Myles on her right, and Jimmy on her left, and the… Continue reading Update Part 2
After these pictures were ready to post, I found lots more of reunions and family stuff. So this will be a two part posting.We made memories. Nice memories of Mom and Dad being here. They faithfully walked the dog every day needing their own daily constitutional. We were their last stop in a series… Continue reading Update Part 1
It's working, I think. After seventeen years of living under the tyranny of "imbalanced hormones", and not the kind you're thinking just now; there are changes. Good ones.(Please go away if you're not actually interested in woman stuff and wisdoms.)Through my life with a over functioning thyroid I learned that God would hear my frantic… Continue reading Roller Coaster
I dislike when people wear "busy" like a martyr or a hero. We live as we choose and we do what we really want to do: work, social events, play, eat, sleep, complain, or have a good attitude. We should not even try to deny it. Right now, we are running at full speed...so much we… Continue reading My Life is Good
This will be a messy Monday post of food opinions and plans, groceries shopping, and maybe a few recent photographs. Lisl said I should say something profound and post my shopping list, as well. We shall see what comes of it. To begin with, on a quest for a better meal plan for… Continue reading Monday
That was Rosie's comment the other day while she was enjoying her work of redoing a mug display at the store. It is a matter of choice, where we work, and if we enjoy it or not. I finally chose, almost thirty years ago, to love the home I own and to own the home… Continue reading "This Is Why I Work Here"
Welcome to the local wildlife refuge. We had a very small gathering that Sunday so Lance and Kristine "hosted" a Crex outing for the afternoon and evening. We all got into four vehicles and headed over to Grantsburg. Crex Meadows is the most beautiful spot in Wisconsin in April. Do go over to the webpage. You'll see… Continue reading Crex Meadows On a Sunday Afternoon In April
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
