Happy Birthday
Again this year, what I think of on February 16 is my friend Cheryl, whose birthday is today. Wherever you are, Cheryl – Happy Birthday! I hope one day I can find her again…
Cake Decorating
The kids and I have been watching Food Network, learning about cake decorating. They have shown cake competitions a lot recently, and it looked like so much fun! So I looked up a cake recipe and a fondant recipe, and tried them out. Fondant makes a cake MUCH easier to cover than regular icing, and it looks much smoother. Here’s […]
Pray for Candace
My friend Janne brought this to my attention. My mother’s heart goes out to this family. Their little daughter Candace, 7, has come down with a serious aggressive infection that is eating away her bones and muscles. In a few short days she has gotten sick, and had several surgeries to remove the infection. Her situation is very very serious. […]
30 years!
My brother called me today to wish me “Happy Birthday” – I’d meant to call him, but had forgotten. February 11, 1976, at home, both of us accepted Christ as Saviour. God is so good!

Rae’s hair, Sunday
I didn’t get pictures Sunday, after all, because her hair fell out of the buns in the night. I guess I didn’t have the scrunchies in tight enough. Bummer.
I bought seeds for my garden.. and other things…
Ok, first of all, Robby came home today with a dozen roses (which are now on my table in a Coca-cola pail) and four rose bushes (which are now planted in the rose bed after a couple hours of work). Secondly, I bought seeds the other day for this year’s garden. I got the following: marigolds, “stringless” beans, cucumbers, spinach, […]

Amazing, really…
I got up around 7:30 this morning. Theoretically, we were supposed to be leaving around 8 to go with Robby out of town. However, it is now 9:46 and I haven’t heard anything from him. But that’s beside the point. Since I was up anyway, and hungry, I went in and actually COOKED breakfast – eggs & toast – and […]

Ooooh, sugar, sugar….
This week I’m avoiding sugar. With Nate’s birthday Thursday and party Friday and the weekend… I ate way too much and ended up miserable. That never *used* to happen when I ate sugar. Guess I’m getting old! So, trying to even things out, I’m not eating it this week (M-F). ‘Tain’t easy, McGee. So far, so good though. No sugar […]
John Luke – 2 months (almost)
I put him in the high chair, and first, he wasn’t sure what to think… then he wasn’t so sure he liked it at all… then he thought it was ok… then:
We went swimming
Saturday, at the local indoor pool. It was great fun! We hope to go again.
John Luke!
I cleaned up the walker Nate used and put John Luke in it… his feet don’t touch the floor, but he’s so cute!
