There’s one good thing about not feeling well- it always makes me appreciate good health so, so much! We all ended up with colds and coughs by last weekend. It was quite a cacophony of coughing for a few days. My son was pretty much feeling better by the beginning of this week, but he had started with […]

1. Head colds are absolutely no fun. 2. That feeling you get when you think you’re going to sneeze and then you don’t? It is very detestable. 3. Listening to other people cough gets old. Coughing yourself gets old. 4. Tired. Of. Kleenex. 5. I would be a very good advertisement for Advil Cold and […]
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 […]
Father and Son
My husband and son = father and son My father and brother = father and son All too soon my son will be walking beside his father and be taller… All too soon.. All too soon….but not yet. Not yet.
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 […]

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 […]
Wouldn’t It Be Nice..
Wouldn’t it be nice if there were never bad moods? Wouldn’t it be nice if there was never impatience? Wouldn’t it be nice if schoolwork always went smoothly? Wouldn’t it be nice if there were always smiles? Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone always spoke kindly? Wouldn’t it be nice if deer didn’t get in […]
Time Flies and Flies and Flies
Today is my mother’s birthday. It is also my oldest niece’s birthday. Today she officially becomes a teenager. Thirteen. It makes me laugh. My daughter is twelve and my niece is thirteen. It makes me laugh because there is no way they can be those ages because I am only twenty-two or twenty-three. Somewhere around […]

Paint and Rain and Kindness
We went to sleep last night to the sound of rain! A thunderstorm moved in last evening and the rain is still hanging around this morning. I don’t know how much rain we’ve gotten so far, but after the hot and dry summer we had last year, the rain sounds so good. We haven’t had […]
What Is Love?
What does love mean to you? Love can be in a sweet smile. Love in the squeeze of a hand. Love in a caring tone. Love is a friend so you don’t have to be alone. Love flows from a gift given at just the right time reaching out to warm your heart. Love […]
If/Then
If you have a wife that is somewhat colorblind… Then you might not want to put her in charge of picking out paint samples… If she picks out a paint that she thinks is white… Then you might want to check and see if it has a blue tint to it… If she starts to […]
