That some of us are still sick. Being sick helps me to remember that health is a gift. A gift is something you just get for no special reason. You have no control over how they come, who gives one, and when you will get one. Despite all the healthy fads out there; I suspect… Continue reading Second Saturday In a Row…
Pussy Willow and Lace
The Pussy Willows are out/blooming/in evidence. So now we have a down payment of spring in hand. And I have discovered how to combat wasting time being sick. This crocheting project is just the thing. Anybody need a large table doily? The husband and son are impressed: husband that I am not bored, and son… Continue reading Pussy Willow and Lace
Projects and Messes
Charlotte asked me this question.But I want to know, how did you do projects like that when your kiddos were small? Till I make sure my men are fed, have clean clothes, and habitable living quarters; there's not much time left for painting projects. Which makes me depressed, because it takes FOREVER to get one… Continue reading Projects and Messes

I really don't think I should have to at home, do you? I don't get terribly much support on this right now. Lance was NOT impressed with sharing… Continue reading Sunday Afternoon Domesticity

He is as good as gold MOST of the time...like for traveling. He was perfect all the way home. Even when… Continue reading What’s Happening In Wisconsin
Tablescape For Spring
Perspectives
Well, there is snow in Wisconsin. Lots of it. Almost two weeks ago the children and I headed down to Nebraska and I blithely informed Elv that I was seeing the last of snow for this winter. How wrong I was! There was snowfall in Nebraska, too! I was going to come home to… Continue reading Perspectives
More Nebraska Days
We are having a windy, sunny day. The clothes on the line are whipped dry in a few minutes, and thunderclouds range close by, so we're keeping our eye on the weather. The men have gone off to town to buy worms to go fishing. They took Lance's pick-up so that they could… Continue reading More Nebraska Days
