Simplifying Life

Here I am on Monday evening sitting down to write a blog post. I deliberately didn’t post on Sunday and may only post Monday thru Saturday for the foreseeable future. For now it seems a good thing to do for Lent. I’ve been spending too much time online lately and waaaay too much time onContinue reading “Simplifying Life”

8th Day of Christmas and A Happy New Year

Here we are! Beginning a new year. A fresh start. Resolutions. New beginnings. I like the idea of making resolutions and aiming for improvements in my life. What better time than the beginning of a new year? I’ve never kept a written diary although I’ve tried more than once in my younger years. Blogging hasContinue reading “8th Day of Christmas and A Happy New Year”

2nd Day of Christmas

I pray your Christmas Eve and Christmas Day events were spent with family and friends, making memories and reliving those from the past, and remembering that Christ is the Reason for the Season. This 2nd Day of Christmas I am focusing on finishing a project and thanking God for the many blessings He has bestowedContinue reading “2nd Day of Christmas”

Just Another Monday

We started the day with Black Rifle Coffee and Breakfast Croissants from CJ’s Coffee Cafe. I didn’t get up until 9 am and it was about 9:30 when we started breakfast. It’s cool and damp out this morning, mostly cloudy and pretty quiet out where we live. We are fortunate to be able to remainContinue reading “Just Another Monday”

So Many Blessings

Our gorgeous morning quickly became a cloudy, drizzly day yesterday and the rainy weather will continue well into the weekend, but somehow it doesn’t really matter to us. We are very thankful for all our blessings: God, family, peaceful home, wonderful neighbors and church communities. The list goes on and on and we try neverContinue reading “So Many Blessings”

A Quiet Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving meal won’t take a great deal of prep time and it’ll just be the two of us here at our house. We are looking forward to some down time with no appointments or errands or any need to be away from the house. As the years go by we are more and moreContinue reading “A Quiet Thanksgiving”

Never Too Old To Learn New Tricks

This photo is a reminder of what I can do when I put my mind, and hands, to it. All of my 4 ounce bobbins ready to ply. I really enjoyed that summer. I can do it again as long as I take care of myself and stay on top of things. Age really isContinue reading “Never Too Old To Learn New Tricks”

God’s Blessings

We have been reaping many blessings from God of late. The rains have finally come, two and half inches so far and more on the way tomorrow through the weekend. I’ve been very blessed to have found three new doctors in the past few months after becoming weary of putting up with less than professionalContinue reading “God’s Blessings”

Another Finished Object

It’s nice to have a FO (Finished Object) amidst all my UFO’s (UnFinished Objects). I’m still working on the ribbing of two pairs of socks and will finish at least one pair before I start anything else. I finished the knitted potholder Sunday afternoon. The lines on either side where I grafted the openings willContinue reading “Another Finished Object”

We Have Eggs!

I hate running out of staples in the kitchen and now that I’ve got two dozen fresh eggs I’m happy! We’ll have some scrambled egg tacos tonight with flour tortillas. The paperback copies I ordered of Dr. Pol’s book came in and I gave Brad one of them to read. I’ll take the other oneContinue reading “We Have Eggs!”
