All Things Home and Family
This post is for Lisl and Jenny and my mom and anyone else who cares about painting and home redo projects. This was a major undertaking for us, both in labor and in decision making. Jenny, they say that imitation is the sincerest compliment. I guess you will know what I mean. To start with,… Continue reading Kitchen Project 2011
There has been plenty of sickness at our house and among our church families this winter. Looking back I realize that we had two bugs here in October. That was the beginning of a winter of poor church attendance but doubtless more prayer for each other. Without sounding depressing I'll just state the facts… Continue reading Sickness
Perfect Sunday afternoon: reading and doggy breath in your face. You might say that I find enough dog hair to clean in other people's houses that I clean. 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
We brought Jack home with us from Nebraska. He is a lot of dog with a lot of energy to burn. Wow! have we ever been having a doggy time of it around here.

Myles Andrew is not nearly as impressed with her as she is with him, apparently. But we are confident that one day they will be best friends.From where Gwen can survey her outside… Continue reading What’s Happening In Nebraska
I am counting today because of Japan's suffering. ~ We have warm, spacious houses far, far removed from the threat of tsunamis. It's not like they in Japan deserve what they're getting right now anymore than we deserve what we enjoy. ~I am thankful for salvation and the freedom to live and share it. ~ I heard… Continue reading Blessings
My day started with a cup of coffee with Elv. It happened to be warmer upstairs in the living room so that's where we sat. I am studying to teach Sunday School next Sunday. We're in Nehemiah 7 where all the family names of the returned Jews are listed. At the end of… Continue reading A Day In The Life Of This Mom
