All Things Home and Family
Last weeks roses are dried, but giving us just as much home beauty as ever. I just remembered that they ought to be sprayed to last. If I preserve them by applying a protective spray I can display them most anywhere. I am thinking about laying them among the old books on the hearth above… Continue reading Winter Roses In Wisconsin
We had a visiting minister this past weekend who hit the nail on the head for us in a timely manner. In a text to Elv last week I suggested that perhaps God has something in store for us this the weekend. Did He ever! We learned out of Ephesians 3 the good news that it… Continue reading It Is Not About You
This post is dedicated to the boys. This is the famous copy of Calvin and Hobbs that one of the girls gifted to Brad when he was in second grade at Christmas time. I don't actually recommend this as a way to get your struggling second grader to read better. But I'll confess it worked… Continue reading The Little Boys
Last night a log home over on Lac Court De Oreilles (Couderay Lake) burned to the ground. It was a big, bad fire. There were two cars in the garage, but nobody was home.

Not in the freezer or in the pantry, nor even in the refrigerator. It simply wasn't...anywhere. Brad… Continue reading Scribblings

I don't know why.Does this picture take your mind far away from the nasty Influenza? I hope so. If… Continue reading Mid Winter Dreams
Long, quiet January days are here, along with the flu. We have a puzzle out on the coffee table that Carolyn started Sunday afternoon. Brad is a very organized puzzle piecer. Amy is working on it now and then while she is sick just because she is too miserable to even read. A chickadee finally… Continue reading January Days At Home
"Information, an Idea, and a Verse that came to me in the course of this day pulled themselves together into a New Years resolution/prayer for the year. I don't usually like to make resolutions, just like I don't like to follow goal charts. They are both made to be broken or failed.In passing her desk… Continue reading "God’s Gonna Listen to God"
