Welcome Home, Outside, Fly-In, {Hello Monday}
Hello random object pictures! I enjoy shooting them. Hello Tiger! Our son’s favorite cat. He is annoyingly tame at times. Like when I’m weeding in the garden and he is trying to sit in my lap and his tail is right in my face. Hello to our kiddos arriving home! Happy, happy to have them […]

Memorial Day Weekend {hello monday}

Just For Laughs
I headed up to town last night to do the weekly cleaning at the doctor’s office. I swung by my mother-in-law’s, dropped off a couple of things, and headed along the dirt road out to the highway. I sat at the stop sign waiting for a pick-up to go by so I could pull out. […]

I May Not Have a Green Thumb, But I’m Still Excited About My Rosebushes
We have rosebushes!!!! I do not have a green thumb or even come close to having one. Not even the tip of one. So, I’m all about plants that do well here in Kansas and don’t require a lot of tender nurturing. Cause they aren’t going to get much nurturing from the winds that like […]

Marriage Musings
Sixteen years. I sit here and stare at the cursor blinking on the screen and at the words I’ve just typed and I laugh. I rejoice in the blessing of years. I laugh at the absurdity of how fast sixteen years can fly by. I smile when I remember my wedding day. I laugh that […]
Seasoned Potatoes
This is a yummy and simple potato recipe. It takes a little prep and a little planning ahead so it has time to bake. I’ve also microwaved the potatoes, but I like to just stick them in the oven to bake away! This is one of those to-taste recipes. There aren’t amounts for the seasonings. […]

No disappointments. No feeling rushed. I love the days when life flows over obstacles instead of bumping into them. I […]
