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
Woods Evening
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
One Of Those Days
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
Sunday Evening Picnic
Sixteen, Summer of 2012
I remember being 16. I was finally considered old enough to join the Youth. Such a big deal it was in 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
Buck Mountain Acres Accomplishments
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
Summer Campout 2012
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
Playing With My Camera Phone and Picasa 3
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
A Day In My Life
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
In The Garden
We put the "wedding arch" in the garden this year. No weddings in sight anyway, and we needed somthing new and different this year. We planted flowers and vegetables and tomatoes this year. The tomatoes are a sorry sight and I have no hope of seeing them improve. I put… Continue reading In The Garden
