I love me a good ole chocolate malt. But not all chocolate malts are created equal. Not at all. I’ve had some chocolate malts that were called chocolate malts, but really all they were was a chocolate shake. Which is good, but not nearly as good as a chocolate malt. Not nearly. The malt flavor […]
Blogs..
You know what I like about blogs? I like how a blog lets you peek into someone else’s world. It gives you a glimpse of their life or world. Of the things they like or do. It gives me a taste of things that I don’t do at all. Or it lets me empathize with […]
Under The Rubble
I can not imagine being trapped under the rubble of an earthquake. I can’t imagine needing serious medical help and not having any help available. I’m sure no one ever visualizes this happening to them. And, we can’t go through life expecting the worse. Not only does this make life miserable, but it exercises a […]
Too Many Miles
Sometimes, in life there are just too many miles in between. My parents and youngest niece, who live in Ohio, were just here for a visit! It was so much fun. It went way too fast. As always! And right now I just feel like there are way too many miles in between. I’ve lived […]
A Daily Duty Ditty
There are dishes to wash, There is laundry to fold, The dust and the clutter are getting quite old, Stuff to pick up, and then put away, Food to prepare day after day. Did you brush your teeth? Did the pets get fed? Bring down dirty laundry and please make your bed. Lists to check […]
Goals
A few things I would like top see accomplished this week: Family Goals Try to get my kiddos to bed earlier Finish reading “Little Men” aloud. Somehow our reading out loud has been lost in the rest of our hustle and bustle of farm life. Sort through my kiddo’s clothes Personal Goals Take at least […]
Believing God
I am in a Bible study group right now and we are working through the study “Believing God” by Beth Moore. If you’ve ever done this study, this will sound very familiar. There are five points we are memorizing and studying. God is Who He says He is. God can do what He says He […]
Wind
I have this thing about wind. *stage whisper-I do not like it very well.-* NOT VERY WELL AT ALL. I know that sometimes we need wind and it can be used for energy etc. etc. BUT I DON’T LIKE IT VERY WELL. I am all about its gentler cousin known as a breeze. A nice soft breeze. […]
Saturday
I need a Saturday after every day of the week. As in…Monday, Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday, and so on. It’s so nice to not have to think about schoolwork. Or laundry. Sometimes I do laundry on Saturdays, but often I don’t. It’s nice to catch up on things that need catching up on. Some […]
The God of Harvest Praise
The God of harvest praise, With loud thanksgiving raise, Hand, hearts, and voice, The valleys laugh and sing, Forests and mountains ring, The plains their tribute bring, The streams rejoice. Of food for man and beast, Jehovah spreads a feast, Above, beneath: Ye herds and flocks, draw near, Fowls, ye are welcome here; His […]
A Club
I think I’m going to start a club. Are you interested in joining? I can’t quite decide what to call this club. Maybe everyone can toss a name in the hat and we can pull one out or vote or choose the sixth one according to alphabetical order. Some ideas I have thought of are, “The […]
Fear and Insecurity
Fear and Insecurity. I do not care for either one. AT. ALL. Unfortunately, they like to come to call. And having been taught to be a kind and proper hostess, I invite them in and offer them a cool drink. They never decline my invitation and settle in for a lengthy visit. Fear begins speaking first. […]
Summer’s End
It was hot this summer. Over a hundred hot most of the summer. It was also dry. Not much rain at all. One really great thing about hot and dry was it dried laundry that was hung outside and it didn’t usually take too long. That was nice. Something else I was and have been […]
Empty Boxes
The ice cream sandwich box is empty. You would assume that I know this because I removed the last ice cream sandwich and ate it. However, I know this because I moved the empty ice cream sandwich box as I was rearranging some things in the freezer. So instead of being the lucky one that […]
Stuck..
I baked a pumpkin pie today. It just sounded yummy. So I baked one. It’s now cooling in the refrigerator. Along with the Cool Whip that is thawing out from the freezer. I baked it with a pie crust shield on it. I really like my pie crust shields and they really work. After I baked it, […]
Nothing New…
This thought has been chasing around inside my head. Nothing new.. As I kept tossing the idea around to start a blog, I would contemplate blog names. Kinda like when we were thinking about names for our kiddos, but different. I would think of one idea, then another and so on. Then I started googling some […]
