All Things Home and Family
When my friend called me last week and asked me if I'd like to help make noodles; I had no idea I was going to come home with six bread bags of a finished product. When I arrived at her house yesterday morning she had a large yellow lump of dough resting in her bakery… Continue reading Homemade Noodles
Frances is studying United States civics this last year of her formal book education. Right now she is learning about filibustering. I am not sure why this should be such new idea to her. Children are adept at it. I recall the bedtime routines. You send the children to bed. The story has been read,… Continue reading Filibustering
My Journal Of This Week So Far… Slightly More Than The Usual Entry Just For Practice Sunday 1/2/11 I woke before dawn. I could see the stars out my window even without my glasses. The feather tick had slipped again and I was cold. I tugged and got some back. Elv threw his covers back… Continue reading A Post About Whatever Is Happening Around Here
This is just a post to prove that we've come into a new year and added one more adventure to our lives. The Lattin's homestead in Winter Wonder Land.They still had the Christmas decorations up at their house.We had a quiet Sunday afternoon of fellowship with Herb & Susan and their friend, Ray.

We coated peanut butter balls, coconut balls, shortbread, kringles, and pretzels. I didn't mean to have a one track mind; just did, that's all. Charlotte made those cookies with the jam… Continue reading Christmas Cookies
Years ago the local dump was at the end of the road where you backed the pick-up tailgate over the edge of a smoggy pit, shoved the trash off, and then drove away. Everything went in there and slowly burned or rusted away. A bulldozer nearby made sure it was confined and neatly buried eventually… Continue reading Trash Disposal
...But only for two weeks. I love our fig tree of living green all winter in a land of snow and cold. It's twenty below this morning!I am just looking for a more spacious feeling in our house for over the holidays while the married children are here.
