We took a long awaited weekend get-away "up north". Not to raise the controversial question of whether or not it is OK to leave everyone and everything behind for three days and just be alone as a couple; I would say this. It works for us. We rejuvenate ourselves and our marriage with quiet and… Continue reading You Make My Life the Best, And I am Grateful
Diffusing the Fragrance
It's a rainy day. Elv is puttering about much needed tire changes on the Jeep and pickup. I am sitting at my computer trying to write. It is not working. After three hours of scribbling and backspacing; I have a few disconnected paragraphs about something which I am only partially in the know.… Continue reading Diffusing the Fragrance

We took a Sunday afternoon drive the other Sunday and… Continue reading Some Thank You Spots On My Planet

Glue… Continue reading Francis and I Made Some Spring
Signs of Spring at the Stonehouse

No more logging today for sure. They'll load the machines onto trucks and move to spring stumpage. Every work… Continue reading Signs of Spring at the Stonehouse
Family Collage
A day at home and a new wall word to play with! Yes! The piano wall needed some help. I have been too preoccupied with other more important things. This morning it suddenly became most important to clean up this house...and the red wax that got dumped several weeks ago on a precious doily now… Continue reading Family Collage
