After caring diligently for the baby bunnies, my daughter decided it was time to free them. They hip-hopped happily into the grass and disappeared very quickly. We freed them a good distance from our house, so hopefully they would stay out of reach of our cats. They were very cute little things, but I think they are […]
If You Have A Dear, Dear Husband…
If you have a dear, dear husband that you love, then you will want to celebrate him when his birthday rolls around. If you celebrate his birthday, then you might want to make a cake! If you make a cake, then you might want to make an angel food cake if that’s what your dear man […]
Good Service
Good service can’t be beat. It just can’t. I am all about good customer service! I like friendly cashiers and I like people who smile. I like stores that operate in the framework of wanting to serve the customer. We live sort of in the middle of nowhere and I like that fact, but that also means […]
Some of the Titles I’ve Recently Read
I like to have a book or two or three that I am reading and can pick up and read a chapter or two or three when I get a chance. Sometimes in the afternoon or early evening or at bedtime. Sometimes when I’m tired and just want to sit down. Sometimes when I have […]
Kitchen Appliances
Right before harvest really officially gets under way for us, I am browsing the classifieds on Nextech. I have jumped onto their site a few times to check out the appliances that other people no longer need or want, and have listed for sale. I haven’t been especially diligent about checking and haven’t seen anything I am very interested in […]
Black Cats
Black Cats make noise! Boys like noise! Black cats and boys! What a combination! My husband remembers setting off Black Cats when he was a boy. My boy will remember setting off Black Cats, too. And someday if he has a son that sets off Black Cats, I think he will laugh as he watches […]
Celebrate!
I am praising God today for the blessing of a free country. We may complain and there are directions that I do not like to see our country headed, but as long as we are living in a free country I will thank God for this huge blessing! I am grateful to the men and […]
Let’s Stay Home Today!
I have two kids that I think are pretty terrific. I’m really glad God gave them to us. And it’s really interesting to see the personalities He has given them. If we have stuff going on that takes us away from home more than a couple of days in a row, my kids are ready-more than […]
Sum, Sum, Summertime!
Summertime. The name offers a vision of hot, sunny days, ice-cold lemonade in a sweating glass, fun with friends, curling up in the hammock, reading a book, woven lawn chairs, fresh garden produce, long, lazy days, splashing in the water… I hear the sounds of summer. Sprinklers zinging. Locusts humming. Mowers running. The smell of chlorine from the pool makes me think […]
Three Things:Kitchen Utensils
Three of my very favorite kitchen tools would be: My Pampered Chef Mix N Chop – I use it every time I fry hamburger or sausage! It does a great job breaking up meat. I also like the job it does when I’m mixing up meatloaf or meatballs. It helps cut the eggs and meat […]
Homemade Croutons and More Strawberry Jam
Homemade croutons, strawberry jam and tea syrup. That’s what my morning the other morning involved. Homemade croutons are yummy. Thanks to Kara, I make them instead of buying them now. We don’t use croutons by the truckload or anything, so I really don’t have to make them very often. Plus, they’re super easy. There is […]
Baby Bunnies
My daughter has been a busy and dedicated animal mommy during the months of May and June. Right now her particular babies are three baby bunnies. They are eating and growing!! We really weren’t sure if they would. She has been feeding them milk from an eye dropper and faithfully harvesting dandelions and clover everyday. She […]
More On Wheat Harvest
Wheat harvest is such a major part of our lives. It comes and then it is gone. It goes by at lightning speed and at a turtle crawl all at the same time. There is nothing quite like watching all those golden fields disappear underneath the combines as they eat their way […]
Yummy Berry Fruit Cups
Here is the other fruit cup recipe that I like really well. The rest of my family isn’t as fond of it, but I don’t mind. ‘Cause I really like them! You can go here for my family’s favorite fruit cup. The recipe I have didn’t really have a name, so I made one up. […]
It’s a Dad’s Life
Happy Father’s Day! And a little humor in honor of the day…
Of Harvest and Busy and Animals, But Mostly the Animals
It’s been a busy couple of weeks! Harvest time. Just the words equate “BUSY” in my mind! It’s a good time and a blessed time, though. My cousin and her husband and four daughters and two sons were here for the first week of harvest. My cousin’s husband helped out in the fields and my […]
