June 1, 2023 by admin 3 Comments

The Background 17 On one of those days, as he was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with him to heal. 18 And behold, some men were bringing on a bed a man who was… [Read More]

Lessons From a Goose!

May 3, 2023 by admin 4 Comments

Consider the Goose The other week I was sitting on the back deck, as I often do, staring out at the lake. There was something new on the landscape! Out in the lake and on this low water island there sat a goose. I said to my husband, “They’re back and she’s laying on eggs!”… [Read More]

The Garden Children’s Bible – A Book Review

April 13, 2023 by admin Leave a Comment

What a delightful bible! Thomas Nelson has hit a homerun with the first-ever International Children’s Bible (ICB). The bible is hardcover and durable, colorful and pleasing, and very easily read by elementary-aged children. The book includes the Old and New Testaments, Helps, Maps, Notes Section, Reading Plans, and a Dictionary. Lenny & Lucy Are cartoon… [Read More]

I Always Go Back To Hope!

April 3, 2023 by admin 16 Comments

I’m Stuck On Hope! I do love the Season of Resurrection Hope – aka Easter! Nothing speaks Hope like an empty tomb. On Friday this week, we will grieve. On Saturday, we are quiet and pensive. On Sunday morning, we celebrate. Jesus is alive and well and sits on high in Heaven. What a glorious… [Read More]

Dear Ma, Happy birthday! If you were still here on earth, you’d be 97. Let me give you a run-down of the past year. Maybe you already know all of this, but I’ll tell you anyway. Lowell & I are as fine as good wine! We love living in our tiny home and traveling about… [Read More]

Wonderful Want some WONDERFUL news? This declaration right here…in 48 days Spring arrives! Winter is long, dreary, and cold where we live, and Spring is normally luxuriously long.

It’s To Die For

January 31, 2023 by admin 16 Comments

But, Is It? You’ve heard the expression, right? Someone suggests you just have to try such and such because “it’s to die for.” Personally, I don’t like the expression because at 72 years old I want things “to live for!” Can I get a witness! But, Today… I want to share something with you that… [Read More]

On Grandparenthood

January 23, 2023 by admin 22 Comments

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly! I am a much better Mimz (Grandma) than I was a Mom. That is my true confession. Don’t get me wrong – I was attentive, caring, engaged, and present for my three. Even as a single Mom I was all those traits; however, I went “on tour” for several… [Read More]

So, this happened yesterday at home. Hubs was tend So, this happened yesterday at home. Hubs was tending his garden bed out in the corner of the common area and almost stepped on this Momma lake turtle, laying her eggs. He went away and returned hours later and found she had dampened the area and laid sticks on top! He framed it out in pic 3. 60 day incubation and then all those wee turtles will find their way back to the lake!!! How cool is that? #lakelife #tinyhousebiglife #fromfarmtoflat2tinyhouse
Yellow doors scream, "You are welcome here! Come i Yellow doors scream, "You are welcome here! Come in! Rest and peace are found within these doors!" 5 years ago this month we left this house, our home for 30 years. We raised one son here, and for A LOT of summers, the old squeaky screendoor opened and closed with the joy of grandkids. Fireflies,  a front porch bat, pussycats, dogs, goats, turkeys, and oinkers grazed the 14 acres. The ring of a blacksmith's anvil clanged for years as my husband designed and created beautiful ironwork. The best goat cheese hung from cheesecloth in its kitchen. Puzzles took shape on the old dining table, and Mexican Train domino challenges snaked along its patina'd surface. Blueberries were picked. Grapes  simmered and bubbled into homebrew! But seasons change. Kids grow and leave home. We grew and left. Happy memories.  Love grew there, and for that, we are forever blessed. Sweet, sweet memories.
