Hello September! I’m a tad late in my greeting, but that’s because you months always arrive before I’m expecting it. Yep. Second verse, same as the first. Same ole, same ole refrain. The weeks and days flow away! Spring and summer are my favorite, but oh September all the fun fallish things you begin […]
Some Pictures of Some Cows and Some Other Stuff
Matthew was doing a few chores and checking cattle for his brother who was gone for a few days. I rode along and I took my camera along, as I rode along, and thus, along the way, at one of our stops I took some pictures of some of the cows. It was just a […]
Monday Musings About Haiti and Home
Two of my people were gone all last week. Matthew and Renae spent a week in Haiti. They met up with a team and helped out on a church building project. They arrived home over the weekend, very tired and with lots of stories and adventures and pictures. I was very glad they could take […]
Monday Musings on Pain and Stuff
It’s a lot harder to do things, to accomplish tasks, to fulfill daily routines, when you hurt. That’s not a profound statement. But it’s one I’ve come to know as true over the last couple of years. It’s nearing six weeks since my surgery. I wasn’t supposed to lift anything over ten pounds for six […]
To Whom It May Concern On Monday Morning
{affiliate links included} Just some general chit-chat on this Monday morning. And a refreshing picture of ice water and lemon. Though it seems the ice has all melted. Ha! Tomorrow it will be five weeks since my surgery. I can tell I feel stronger each week. I really felt good right after my surgery […]
Just Taking It Easy
The countdown is on! Christmas is coming! Christ HAS come! Marvelous, wonderful news. My week held a lot of taking it easy, a lot of pom-pom fun, food delivered to us, some frustration with having to ask my people to do things and not able to just do it MYSELF, thankfulness all the same […]
Monday Morning Musings
That Kitty hadn’t shown up for a post for a while and he was shyly wondering if he could again this week. Of course, I said “Yes.” What a week it’s been! Good in a lot of ways. Bunches and bunches of reasons for gratitude. A week ago today, I was busily working to […]
Memoir Monday {No. 100}
Good morning Monday! And hello to ONE HUNDRED Memoir Monday posts. It’s a milestone number for sure! 🙂 Renae was part of a Christmas pageant over the weekend.

Memoir Monday {No. 97}
I was trying to catch up on backing up my pictures and emptying my SD card. Somehow I managed to delete a folder of pictures on the card before I had copied them. I have no idea how it happened. I don’t know that I’d even worked in that folder and when I went to […]
Memoir Monday {No. 96}
I added this holiday sign to the front of my wreath. I really like it there. R & T pulled out pretty dishes one day for lunch and fixed the table up all pretty. We had three of the most beautiful days ever at the end of the week last week. Change and clean up […]
Memoir Monday {No. 95}
Another week! I found these bamboo clothespins at World Market. I’m excited to give them a try. Most likely not until next spring, though we do keep having really, really pretty days. We made cornmeal rolls in the shape of acorns and leaves. They turned a little wonky when they raised, but were fun just […]

We had a lot of gorgeous weather this week and I’ve just been drinking it in. For starters, there wasn’t much wind. LOVE THAT!! We built a campfire one evening. It was just plain lovely. Chilly enough that the heat from the flames felt good, but not so cold that you wanted to huddle as […]
