These pictures have been hanging out patiently waiting for me. They are some different craft things and repurposes that Renae has had fun making. I’d been wanting to take pictures of some of her stuff. Finally, got that done. Then the next step was putting some together in a blogpost. So, now I’m working on […]
Memoir Monday {No. 59}
Happenings and Suchlike! 1. Beautiful weather at the beginning of the week. Becoming cold. This morning we had snow! Hammock out and laundry on the line on Monday. 2. This kitty hangs around a lot. Never sure where he’s going to show up. He’s a cutie. 3. Beautiful sunshine streaming in the window, casting beams […]
A Touchstone of Remembrance When… {Five Minute Friday}
WHEN Linking up with Kate That’s the writing prompt. It turned my mind to a couple of things that have been running through my head anyway. I thought about the beginning verses in Joshua 4. I studied this passage a few years ago, in the Bible study, Believing God. I was inspired with the […]
Memoir Monday {No. 58}
The last couple of weeks have whisked away… My parents and nieces were here the last week in January. Matthew cleaned out feedlot pen and hauled manure for our garden. We had some really pretty, sunshiny weather and the kiddos played outside and rode along with Dad/Uncle Matthew some. We celebrated birthdays. Then, my poor […]
Chocolatey Butterscotch Topped Treats
We have this much loved Rice Krispy treat recipe over here… This is another favorite recipe with Rice Krispies. Different texture and different ingredients, but still pretty simple to make and if you love sweets, these are yummy! We sometimes put this recipe in a jellyroll pan and cut out shapes. This was fun back […]
Sweet and Sour Meatloaf
Meat Loaf and Macaroni & Cheese. This was a very favorite combination for a meal when my sister and brother and I were the kiddos in our home. I still think of the two together when I go to fix one or the other. We liked both things and they were comfort food. This Sweet and […]
Peanut Butter Cup Cookie Bites
Peanut Butter recipes are probably a favorite around here. At least, peanut butter and chocolate together recipes. While I like plain peanut butter cookies, I like chocolate with the peanut butter much, much better! I do love these Peanut Butter Rice Krispies and they don’t have chocolate in them. This recipe for Gooey Bars has […]
Applesauce Jello Salad
I would not say my family is a jello-salad crazy family. I can think of three jello salad recipes off the top of my head, that I, myself, like to eat and have made. I’ve never been fond of carrot salad and I don’t think I’ve ever made it. I also tend to be […]
Home Canned Chili Beans
A few years ago, I canned chili beans for the first. It’s a great winter time project. Since it requires a fair amount of time and heat to have the burner on the stove running, the heat might as well be put to good use compared to home canning that HAS to be done in […]
Peanut Butter Pie
Alrighty! A challenge for myself. I’m going to {hopefully} post a week of recipes. I still have a lot I’d love to have catalogued on here and printed out and added to my three-ring binder that I started. I’m going to shoot for this Monday through Friday {and maybe Saturday} of recipes. I have a […]

We Wait {Five Minute Friday}
At 3:30 my daughter creeps into our bedroom, softly, and awakens me. It startles me and I jump awake, startling her back and causing her to laugh a little and say, “Sorry, Mom.” “Becca threw up,” she says. Our nine-year old niece and cousin, visiting from Ohio, is sick. Poor girl. Away from home. Away […]
Three Things {Blankets}
What could be better for January than to talk about blankets? Our January has been pretty much a chilly one! But this week we’ve had some awesomely warm weather and sunshine and some 70’s!! Woo-hoo! A lot of January, I’ve been thankful to pretty much stay inside . I’ve been thankful for ductwork. I’ve been […]
Memoir Monday {No. 57}
Last week~gone already~ now to remember stuff that happened …. I was inspired by this post called Inspiration vs Comparison a few weeks ago. I may or may not have linked to it previously. I know I thought about it, but not sure if I did. I have a new name for pop. I posted […]

Denim Napkin Rings Repurposed From Old Jeans
{affiliate links included in this post} We recently read an interesting tidbit in our Manners Made Easy book. It said that while napkin rings are mostly decorative today, they have an interesting origin. Each family member used to have their own distinctive napkin ring. Napkins were used at more than one meal and each person […]
