Of Books and Highlighting and Pens
I showed you my basket of pens and markers and pencils and all manner of writing utensils over here in this post. I still really like having it and use it practically everyday. I never used to do much highlighting in books. I did highlight in my schoolbooks some. {In those long-ago days. Peer through the […]
Yarn Along {The Shy Little Kitten}
That Kitty likes this book, I think. The Shy Little Kitten. I love Little Golden Books. When Renae was small she had a Go Fish game. The cards were a larger size and instead of fish on the cards, each set was characters from the Little Golden Books. There was the Saggy Baggy Elephant and […]
Things I Like To Keep In My Suburban
Let’s ramble a little on the subject of some stuff I like to store in my Suburban. My husband likes to tease me about my “Suburban stuff”. Nevertheless, there are certain items that are very handy to just “HAVE” in my vehicle. One of my friends taught me this trick. Years ago, we had […]
Memoir Monday {No. 87}
I think That Kitty is glad to be home from Ohio. He just showed up everywhere. Gray, dampy mornings. Turkeys continue to show up. Thinking about the word amenable. This trait was discussed by Mary and Nancy in the True Woman 201 session I watched this week. It means in simple terms to have […]
Instapost {Sept. No. 1}
Well, technically my idea when I first instaposted was to post ONE picture, sort of like Instagram, and then write what was on my heart or on my mind to record. I was thinking they would be a cross between Instagram and a blog post. I really enjoy Instagram, but generally don’t write long captions […]
In Our Wardrobe {No. 1}
We are having fun with style and clothes posts, so I just started a category for them. Don’t miss the darling, little glasses charm on this necklace. See it? How cute is that?! I wear contacts most of the time, but I got my first pair of glasses when I was in second grade. I […]
A Good Dog and Expectations
“Cooper, when I tell you you’re a good dog, I expect you to act like one.” Cooper was barking loudly, and wildly chasing our mama cat. First, under the trampoline. Next, across the yard, and finally, Kitty scrambled smartly up a tree. I’d walked up just in time to hear the words come out of […]
Yarn Along {All The Places To Love}
Last week I was finishing my Seaside Blue dishcloth. When I finished it I set out this linen color. I snapped some pictures of my collection of solid colors. The golden yellow and coral-y pink found a new home, so they aren’t in the stack anymore. I love how all the colors look together. This […]
Ten Seemingly Ordinary Things That Bring Me Joy
Ten on Tuesday Topic ~ Ten Seemingly Ordinary Things That Bring Me Joy ~ What a fun one! The hard part will be limiting it to ten. Joy has been on my mind lately. It often is, but at some times more than others. There are so many small things in my life that are […]
Happenings on the Farm: Fertilizer Spreading
Summer is waning, even if I don’t want to quite admit it or let it go. Though I did love opening up windows and enjoying the cool air, when our temperatures took a lower swing last week. Fall approaching. That means in the farming cycle that we keep preparing and sliding closer to the days […]
Memoir Monday {No.86}
War Room. Go watch it. Take Kleenex. Beautiful, awesome, powerful message. Jesus and prayer intertwined throughout it all. Playing in theaters in America! Go support it. And I love the faces of law and grace portrayed in it. We need to stand in the gap for our country. We need to fight back […]
Thank-you, Hatteras
This photo and the words below it are what I posted on Instagram as we left Hatteras. We just had so much fun. That sums it up. I’ve had several people ask if we had a good trip and I’ve replied, “We did! It was just so much fun!” I typed out details I wanted to […]
Instapost {August No. 2}
I started using this Gratitude Journal in July. And love it so much. You can see pictures of it over in this post. It was a giveaway post. While the giveaway is over, you can still see the photos and read about the journal. Each month features an area that enriches our lives. July’s […]
It’s Clothes or Fashion or Style, Again!
Just more fun shooting a few pictures and talking a bit about clothes. A friend recently gave this shirt to Renae and I love it on her. She paired the knit scarf with it, as a belt, and her shell necklace came from our Hatteras trip. She found the shell on the beach and […]
