You know what I like about blogs? I like how a blog lets you peek into someone else’s world. It gives you a glimpse of their life or world. Of the things they like or do. It gives me a taste of things that I don’t do at all. Or it lets me empathize with […]
Under The Rubble
I can not imagine being trapped under the rubble of an earthquake. I can’t imagine needing serious medical help and not having any help available. I’m sure no one ever visualizes this happening to them. And, we can’t go through life expecting the worse. Not only does this make life miserable, but it exercises a […]
My Favorite Dishcloths Ever!
My Grandmother sent these new dish cloths to me with my Mother. These are my very favorite kind of dish cloths. My Mother taught me how to knit them several years ago, but I haven’t actually made one for a long time. My Grandma spends quite a bit of time knitting dish cloths and hands them out to […]

Too Many Miles
Sometimes, in life there are just too many miles in between. My parents and youngest niece, who live in Ohio, were just here for a visit! It was so much fun. It went way too fast. As always! And right now I just feel like there are way too many miles in between. I’ve lived […]
Trivia
Is anyone as cluttery as we are? I think, probably not! As I dashed around the house this morning, cleaning up clutter, here is what was on the shelf in the kitchen, under the phone: my cell phone-this is it’s home-, some pennies, dimes and nickles, a cute notepad-also it’s home-, a string of beads, […]

Five Grandchildren
My son opened a picture shop quite a while back, where you could buy pictures he had drawn or place an order for a picture you wanted drawn. It was open for quite a while and then his mother wanted the shop area straightened up and cleaned up, so the picture shop closed. Recently, he […]
A Spelling Study Session
Studying spelling words can take some strenuous thinking sometimes… Sunny smile… Thinking hard! This word is hard… Let’s see, which letter comes next? I think I got it! Almost finished… The beginning of each week we have a trial spelling test. Twice a week it’s spelling study […]
A Visitor
We have a visitor at our house! She is a little visitor. She is my sister’s youngest daughter and she lives in Ohio. We are so excited for her to be here because Ohio is a long ways from Kansas! This is the first time she has come without her parents. Her sisters have both […]
Milo
Genesis 8:22 As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, will never cease. We definitely had the heat this past summer! A lot of heat and little rain. We can tell a difference in the crops in our fields. But, as long as […]
The B-17 Inside
We took a ground tour of the B-17. It was really neat. We got to walk through it and all around it. My kiddos really enjoyed it and walked through it a couple of times! The ball turret was something else. A man climbed into it and was basically laying down with no room to move. […]
School
Last year we used BJU Press as our curriculum for our homeshool. We really liked a lot of things about it, but at the same time missed some of the things we had previously used. A lot of our stuff for school has come from Timberdoodle, and I still like to shop there. They have super-cool-fun stuff. […]
Pumpkin Patch Pics
Here’s the rest of the fun we had at The Harvest Farm and Pumpkin Patch! I had a terrible time getting the pictures inserted into my blog post. My format for editing and posting blogs seems to be messing up. It’s frustrating. I love electronics and computer stuff, but I like it to work right! I don’t […]
Hog Wild
It’s always a good day when you get to have lunch at Hog Wild! I got to ride along with my husband this morning while he did some errands. I also got to go to the mall and we had lunch at Hog Wild. All of that put together definitely means a fun morning! The […]
