Cheeseball. It’s just a yummy snack. It intrigues me how cream cheese can be so tasty as a salty type snack and so delicious in a sweet recipe. It’s all about what you add to it! We tend to fix cheeseball around the holidays, it seems. But, I also fix it some in the summer […]

Yarn Along {Lizzy and Jane}
Completed!! I gave myself a quiet, little challenge in my head to finish my purple dishcloth from last week AND knit up another one, all finished, before this week. I managed it!

Memoir Monday {No. 83}
Summer swings along. Fieldwork to do. Tucker has been helping out a good bit with the irrigation system checking and running the tractor some, too. The girlies stayed and it’s fun to watch Renae care for them. They swam with us and Miss A. was so fun to watch. I continue just to notice […]
In Which We Climb a Lighthouse
The Hatteras Light! I’ve climbed it twice. Eighteen years ago with my brand-new husband. This year, with my husband-of-eighteen-years and my two half-grown children and my sister and her husband and my three, getting-too-big-and-grown-up, nieces. Eighteen years ago, it was free to climb it and there was a volunteer at the top to talk […]
Three Things: Flip-Flops
I do love shoes. Let’s talk FLIP-FLOPS!! What says summertime more than flip-flops? Flip-flops are funny and make me laugh when I really think about them, but they sure are easy and handy for hot weather. Here are my current three favorite pairs of flip-flops. I’ve had lower back issues for a long, […]

I borrowed a few colored pencils from my son and added […]

Summertime Yellowy Lemon Wreath
One of my friends’ daughters posted a picture of her beautiful lemon wreath on Instagram. I loved its bright cheerfulness. Soon after, I was moving the flowerpots around on my porch and simultaneously watering them and moving them some more. I’ve rearranged the porch a few times this summer. In part, because of wind […]

Progress on my dishcloth from last week! Yay for progress! I was going to highlight something of Renae’s, but didn’t get that done.
