A few more things I wanted to post from our Christmas memories for 2014… First post over here… As Renae was leaving her mother’s helper job one week in December, the mama she helps, gave her a homemade Oreo Truffle to try. She thoroughly enjoyed it and thought it sounded fun to make them. So, on Christmas Eve […]
Christmas Memories Made {Christmas Eve}
Some 2014 Christmas memories made by our family of four ~ Christmas Eve and Christmas Day we spent mostly at one of our very favorite places ~ home! We dug out a few memories from the cedar chest ~ this blanket I cross stitched when I was very young and used for my babies. […]
Jesus Loves the Little Children
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, the little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head….. Born unto Mary, born poor as can be, Born to this world, so children might see. Jesus loves the little children, All the children of the world…………. Each sweet child face, Babies born and unborn, […]
I Can’t Wait to See the Baby
I want to see the baby in the manger, yes, I do, I want to gaze upon him with a child’s eyes and view, I want to see him all wrapped up in his swaddling clothes, I want to gaze upon his little fingers and his toes, I want to smooth his hair, all downy, soft, […]
A Few Words and a Personalized Pillow
Just popping in to put a few words out in blog land. We arrived home Tuesday evening. Once again we traveled safely back and forth over all those miles and highways between Kansas and Ohio. We are thankful. Even though our December plans have ended up completely rearranged, we were glad we could […]
Simple Spiced Wassail
Tis the season! Of cold weather and hot drinks. Here on our farm we like the occasional coffee, hot chocolate with a touch of coffee, and sometimes hot tea. I also like to make wassail during the Christmas season. It’s so pretty and there’s something cozy and homey and Christmasey about it simmering on […]
Detailed Nativity
When we pulled out our Christmas decorations and nativities and set them up throughout our house, back in December, Renae took one of the nativities we have and detailed it and set it up in the basement. Then she had fun posing it and taking pictures of it. I loved what she did with it […]
Oh, the Weather Outside Was Frightful…
Oh the weather outside was snowy and frightful… {not to mention cold} To the young and brave at heart it sounded delightful…. {but not to those who are old} So mittens and coats and boots and some scarves, Socks and layers to go out in the yard… Bundling and layering and a cry of, “I’m […]

Mary’s Ponderings and Praise
She held her newborn baby And she gazed upon His face, His little nose, His tiny ears, His cheeks her fingers traced, His thatch of hair, His baby hands, She snugged him up so tight, And noticed how the stardust, Shone around Him, ah, so bright! She wondered at the miracle, This miracle of birth, The […]
The Baby in the Manger
GAZING AT THE BABY IN THE MANGER I want to see the baby in the manger, yes, I do, I want to gaze upon him with a child’s eyes and view, I want to see him all wrapped up in his swaddling clothes, I want to gaze upon his little fingers and his toes, I want […]
