One of my very first giveaways, over here in this post, was the book she authored, titled For The Love Of Our Husbands. You can peek at the […]
Memoir Monday {No. 89}
I bought three small mums at Wal-Mart and plunked them in the ground by my backdoor. I absolutely love the splendor of autumn colors and fall vignettes. We have a local greenhouse that always has hay bales and pumpkins and mums and gourds and cornstalks set up in a glorious display. So beautiful. I put […]
Instapost {Sept. No. 2}
This has been my view of the farm since Thursday and I have thrilled and danced in my soul as I looked at it. It’s not the Redwoods. It’s not a view like Half Dome and Yosemite. It’s not Hatteras. Or Ouray, Colorado. It’s not Yellowstone National Park. It’s not a quaint French village. It’s not […]
Wherein There Are Purdy Pictures Of The Mountains
We spent a few days in Colorado at the very end of July and right on into the beginning of August. I posted just a few pictures in this Monday post. We went to Ouray, Colorado. It is called Little Switzerland and it is beautiful. The town is nestled down among very tall, towering, […]
In Our Wardrobe {No. 3}
I wanted pictures of Renae and me all pressed and dressed and ready to head to the Living Proof Live Simulcast. I asked my dear man to play photographer for us and he obliged. We were up bright and early, since we were heading out at 7 a.m. to drive to the city and arrive […]
Quotes to Remember {No. 3}
Being happy doesn’t mean everything is perfect. It means you’ve decided to see beyond the imperfections. I’m beginning to see how the secret ways and deepest mysteries of God and His kingdom are often revealed off the beaten path of organized religion and frequently missed by the too-smart. Sometimes it’s not the professor or […]
More Cupcake Liner Flower Fun
I’ve been playing around some more with paper and paper-y stuff! I showed you cupcake liner paper flowers in this post here. I opened my drawer in my kitchen one day; the one that holds all my cupcake liners and various things. I spied my bright-colored liners in various designs and “Lightbulb!” “Idea!” The […]
Yarn Along {The Boy With a Drum}
Still thinking about Little Golden Books ~ The Boy With the Drum. I love books that rhyme. They’re the best read-aloud kind. I had this book memorized before I could read, and I felt like big stuff, proclaiming that I could read, because I could read/recite this book. 🙂 Makes so much sense to a kiddo! […]

Books Tablescape
Once upon a time in Instagramland, summer was slipping to an end and cooler temperatures were tiptoeing closer and autumn was through the trees and around the bend in the path, not quite visible, but approaching. School sessions and schedules were starting in again and many people were posting pictures of back-to-school and last-days-at-the-pool and […]
Memoir Monday {No. 88}
An end-of-summer/beginning-of-fall look. We late-planted some gourds and pumpkins and they are growing. Tucker picked a few beginners for me. The flowers look a bit bedraggled from the heat and the croquet balls speak of summer days and the gourds hint of autumn. Matthew & I spent a day out with friends. I took a few […]
Of Cake Pops and Party
In January, at birthday time, Renae told me she had an idea. She wanted to have a couple of her friends come over, not now, but in July at her half-birthday, and celebrate then with summery things like swimming and such. That was fine with me. She began to plan and would add ideas […]
A Lovely Lunch
Just a lovely lunch. Every so often….pulling out pretty dishes. Displaying food and then taking pictures. Stepping back to simply enjoy a pretty table! Embracing beauty. Using the pretty dishes I have and love! Enriching life and infusing it with joy in simple things. Reminding me again to take time and use the pretty […]

Skecher flip-flops ~ featured in this post Lilla Rose hairbands Gratitude necklace I used the Pearl Hairband and the Mixed Metals Hairband both for a fun look. The […]
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 […]
