Yesterday, a new class begun, Right after the schoolbooks were done, Time for Shingling 101! What good helpers! They had so much fun, Laying out shingles, Till the job was done! Up on the roof, Way up in the air, Dragging shingles, Going after nails, Laughter and Chatter, What could be better? Working and […]
It’s Coming Along…
As I upload these pictures and peck away at my keyboard, I am listening to the sound of shingles being laid on the garage roof. It sounds good! My husband is definitely needing to find a stopping point for the time being and move on to some of his projects for the farm. It will […]

Big Toes, Coughs, Garage Work
My big toe hurts. It hurts because part of the toenail got ripped and then came off way too far back. Makes for a sore toe. Amazing how something like a toenail can be such a bother. When it’s doing its job and everything’s good I don’t even notice it or think about it being there. […]
We Are Little Builders
This song has been going through my head: We are little builders building block by block, But our sure foundation is the Solid Rock, Not for wealth we’re building, nor for praise of man, But for our Redeemer doing all we can. We are little builders doing God’s command, Not like unbeliever’s building […]

Indebtedness
Have you ever felt totally indebted to other people? I know I have felt very grateful and thankful for people and their kindnesses at different times in my life. But I have never felt as indebted as I do right now. There have been so many people who have stepped up to the plate in […]
Wood Flooring
Just a few pictures.. My wood flooring in the kitchen is starting to go in!!! Yay for a willing, helpful brother-in-law that has quite a bit of experience at putting down hardwood! And owns a floor nailer. Handiness in a nutshell!
My Basement Kitchen
My kitchen area… This kitchen area doesn’t necessarily have a set of dream cupboards in it, but they work and they are an improvement over the old metal cupboards I had at our old house.

Some Things I’ve Learned From Moving
A list of a few things that moving has shown me: Moving is a lot of work. We have a lot of stuff. Maybe not all that great of stuff, but a lot of stuff. Too much stuff. Getting rid of some stuff. Feeling rather humbled and responsible and a little overwhelmed at the stuff […]

Moving = Busy
I have been missing my blog world. I have been missing jumping over to the blogs I like to read or checking into a couple new blogs from links or twitter. Moving seems to give a whole new meaning to busy. The middle of last week we started the actual moving process, so everything else was put […]
Progress Pictures and a Peterbilt
I’m throwing a few pictures on here of some paint and progress we are making on the house. They aren’t the best-it’s kind of hard to photograph some of the rooms very well. At least for me. bookcases and books that we moved into the upstairs… It is a blessing to be able to move […]
