My daughter suggests if I want advice on the computer problem I mentioned in this morning’s post, I maybe shouldn’t refer to my technology-wise friends as “geeks”! My grandson, age 5, knows better than that! He knows which side his bread is buttered on, and knows just who to “butter up.” So I’ll take her [...]

God never stops blessing!
I’m so glad to be home. Missed my hubby and I think he missed me. He didn’t eat any of the TV dinners I stuck in the freezer for him, but ate the entire pot of tortilla soup I made up right before I left. Ahh. He still prefers my cooking! It felt so [...]
What Happened to Summer?

First cut is over; so is second cut. I missed getting to bale any hay in June, but got in on a little during July. What a blessing it is to live in the country!
It’s fair time again; that time of year when I always see kids I taught twenty-some years ago walking the fairway [...]

Twenty Important Things About Our Moms
I’ve been thinking a lot about Ethel and Iona (Jim’s mom and my mom) these days. They’re both pretty special ladies. I don’t think we give the women of their generation enough credit. These were the gals who did it all: lived through the worst decade of the last century, [...]

When I taught school, my students enjoyed singing songs and reciting poetry. Here’s a poem I wrote about April. I’m hoping it will be useful to all you teachers and scrapbookers out there. Please feel free to use it. Just credit the author, okay? Have fun with your kiddoes this month!

Our Grandkids

Grandparents always have a brag book, right? Well, this is my brag page. Our seven-year-old grandson loves to read. Right now, he’s reading Indiana Jones. The size of the book would give most adults cause for pause, but this boy is already on the fourth chapter. He and his Mee-Maw Moo-Moo were the early-risers of [...]

Remember the neighborhood cat? She and the boys are great buds. Here’s the five-year-old with his feline friend.
Legos, Red Chief, and March Madness
Posted in Uncategorized on March 27, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Our grandsons are visiting the farm and we’re lovin’ it. The weather’s not cooperating, though, so we’re seeing a lot of lego creations, reading, March Madness, and the movie Ransom of Red Chief. Every little boy must dream of being as naughty and exasperating as young Red Chief. You can read more about the boys [...]
Prayer Warriors, Friends, and Family

Couldn’t resist uploading this picture. It represents the wonderful friends, prayer warriors and family who supported us during those first weeks after the accident.
First of all, my sweet daughter purchased the gift bag, obviously aware that I needed a lift…the glare makes it a bit difficult to read – it says “I’m too Sexy to be [...]
Blessings from Change!

One of the biggest blessings from my accident is that I appreciate more the things I took for granted just last month. Take my left arm, for instance.
I’ve considered at times what it would be like to have to face the world’s challenges with one hand. I’ve watched my older sister and an aunt (both [...]
