Taking A Look Q. What is your favorite thing about Spring? A.  It isn’t winter! That little joke is dedicated to my friend Anita in Arizona. She thought it was funny so I’m hoping you do too! Here, in Upstate South Carolina, winter was 365 days long. It came in cold and wet, and it… [Read More]

Memories - hold some, let some go!

After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, it came to pass that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, saying: 2 “Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them—the children of Israel. 3 Every place that the… [Read More]

A Look Back At November 2017

December 6, 2017 by admin 28 Comments

Are you astonished that we are now in the final month of 2017? This has been quite a year and I am beginning to “look back.” I think it advantageous for each of us to do a review, of sorts, of our time. Last year I knew, with no shadow of doubt, that my ‘word’… [Read More]

  Mom’s Day 2017 I want to do something a bit different this year but as I sit here I’m not sure where my thoughts are headed. It may be a post of rambling and rabbit trails and if that’s how it turns out then that is where it is supposed to go. For some… [Read More]

our three-day, 1200 mile road trip

July 27, 2016 by admin 42 Comments

Several months ago I received an email from The Ark Encounter – inviting us to visit the new spectacle in northern Kentucky. Five years ago, we went to the phenomenal Creation Museum and loved it! That is when we learned that plans were being made to build a true-to-Biblical proportion replica of Noah’s ark. I… [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.
