My mom, who is now in her sixties taught a class when she was sixteen years old. I taught in my teenaged… Continue reading Summer At Home
Just words. It is a warm summer evening and I am down stairs where the AC keeps the atmosphere pleasantly cool. Brad is here with me finishing up a gun rack that he has been working on for a couple of weeks. This is one of his first wood working projects… Continue reading Post Without PIctures
There are always bouquets of flowers now on our tables here at home. Of Abbey’s house. We helped Abbey move into a house sitting job last week. We moved in a bare minimum of needs in furniture and ktichen gadgetry and planted a wee garden in the back yard. … Continue reading A June Posting
A friend observed to me today that though one or both parties in a marriage feels like he or she is not in love anymore, that doesn't mean the marriage is over. There are no convenient excuses to make this true. Marriage is 'till death do us part' and a lack of the warm fuzzies… Continue reading Be Of Good Cheer

This year I wanted only one thing!Real bicycles are back. You know the kind that you can sit up straight and tall and survey the passing scenery with the wind in your face and peddle up the hills and coast them down. Love biking! Bikes are back, baskets, pretty paint, real leather covered seats that… Continue reading Thank You! To My Indulging Children
The paper whites frame the old stone house just now. I don’t remember when we planted these flowers as bulbs, in fact, I nearly tilled them out one day several years ago. Maybe they needed to have the soil disturbed, because each spring since then they’ve given us quite a show. Elv has decided that… Continue reading What’s Happening At Home
