I had cream to use up last week, so I pulled out my great-grandma’s recipe for cream pie. It is easy, yummy, and unique and fun to make. I didn’t have pie crusts in the freezer, so first there was pie crust to make! Plus, the bonus of then having pie crusts in the freezer! […]

Hello Happenings!
I’m amazed at how long ago the beginning of a week can seem. When I flipped through to see what pictures I had taken this past week, I thought, “We did that just the beginning of the week?” It seemed like it was much longer ago! Hello to painting fun and art class and creating […]

A Few Things I’m Finding Delightful Today
We had a lovely rain yesterday. We could still use more rain, but we’re thankful for anything we get. It was gray and drizzly most of the day. It made for a cozy day. It was lovely to see the sunshine this morning and have wonderfully cool air. This is the kind of weather I […]
My Beloved White Fence

Hand-Knitted Farmhouse Dishcloths
When we were in Ohio, we visited my Grandmother. She is almost 92 years old. Earlier this spring she wasn’t very well at all and we really thought she would be in heaven right now, instead of still on this earth. She slowly improved though, till she was no longer just in bed and no longer needed […]
Thoughts on Abundance and Waiting in Line and Jehovah-Jireh
Last night I went to Wal-Mart. And waited in line. First at the pharmacy so I could buy some Sudafed-and I will break in here to state that I wish people would just be honest and do what is right. I get really tired of having to stand in line, show my driver’s licence, and sign […]
