Yesterday, I came home from church, had lunch, and then as usual I sat down at the computer to work on lesson plans, do research, and study for this week’s homeschooling. I found a great website that had the information I was looking for, printed it off, and then proceeded to another site. While I was waiting [...]

Mistletoe
I’m going to make a confession here that may get me booed out of the blogosphere by animal lovers, but I am not a pet person. I mean, I like them well enough, but I can take them or leave them, with the exception of one very special doggie named Mistletoe, a.k.a. Missy.
Our Westie, Missy, [...]

We had a wonderful Easter celebration together as a family. After church, Phillip, Beth, Spiderman, and Ladybug, as well as my sister Debbie, her son Michael, and his son Little Man came over for lunch and an egg hunt. It was a wonderful afternoon, the weather was a little chilly and windy, but it was [...]

I wanted to share this photo of my sisters and me from my first Easter. The color is a little off, but then the photo is rather old (although I’m not!) so I guess it’s to be expected. I just love this picture, I think my sisters look adorable in their Easter dresses and cute little hats. [...]

Easter has always been a favorite holiday of mine. When I was a child I looked forward to Easter morning and the candy that awaited me when I awoke, I couldn’t wait to see what was in my Easter basket. I never liked the marshmallow chicks and bunnies that are still very popular today, although [...]

It seems to me as if I’ve been away from blogging for quite a while, but actually it’s only been a week. We went to visit Natalie, Joey, Cupcake, and Blue Eyes this past week for a few days, and I’ve been so busy since we got back I haven’t had a chance to blog.
I really should [...]

Well, after weeks (actually more like months) of trying, I have finally gotten my personal photos posted and they actually look normal. No more blurry or grainy pictures, or ones where the people in the photo look like their bodies are warped. I gave up trying to work with the photo editing program on my computer [...]

Just when I thought it was safe to declare Spring is on the way, Winter showed up again to prove me wrong. The high today was around 40 degrees and we actually had snow flurries! The counties in the upper elevations had some accumulation of snow, but unfortunately, we live too far south now to experience that. I miss having [...]

Once again, God has humbled me and shown me that He has my life in the palm of His hand, even when I cannot see, or feel Him at work. He showed me this evening that He is working on my behalf, even though I have not been exercising my faith and trusting Him to [...]
