All Things Home and Family
Mom and I walked together every day last week. On Monday after we got home from the airport Mom, Dad, and I walked out to 95, solving the worlds problems in our conversation as we walked. Tuesday it was just Mom and I. We took the road the other direction. Wednesday I was at Shilah's… Continue reading Visiting The Idaho Folks
These pictures are of Jenny's wedding flower project. I'm longing for green grass and flowers! Can you tell?
What a flood of memories this picture brings. I remember trying to stop time for this one day. Too many changes were happening too fast. Lisl was about to leave for Thailand.

I warned the girls last week that spring cleaning was about to begin and we'd do the worst first. The girls didn't seem to mind the idea, so even with several phone interruptions… Continue reading Spring Cleaning

Bring all the children with you. If you are the proud possessor of a colonial trade skill,… Continue reading Living Colonial History
Yesterday I was able to enjoy Jube's smiles on a web cam connection. At five months old, this little guy is being introduced to his Marmee electronically. I wondered with sorrow if he would know me when he's two years old and lands in America for the first time in his born life. Well now… Continue reading Of Smiles and Giggles for Marmee on Webcam
