More Beans To Cut
One of the irrigated circles Matthew checks, had double crop soybeans on it. Everything happens in groups it seems…. We had wheat to drill, milo to cut, and these beans to cut.

Good-Bye Braces!
October found us at the orthodontist ready to say good-bye to braces! Everything went very well, according to the orthodontist, and the braces got to come off earlier than we were thinking.

Gifts and Gift Packaging
I’ve long loved gifts and gift packaging. It rather goes along with decor and homemaking in a way, I suppose. In both cases, I am putting together things I like or love and fixing them in a way that makes me smile. I’ve wished before that I could run a little gift packaging business. Not […]

From Point A to Point B to Point C
When we got married, I started out driving a 1989 two door gray Blazer that still had a tape deck and I still listened to cassette tapes. I loved my little gray Blazer. My young husband had sold his black 1993 Chevy stepside pickup right before we got married and bought the Blazer for us. […]
