Date #2

Today was Nate’s day. Robby had an appointment later in the day, so we decided to go ahead and go this morning. We stopped by Dollar General (to get Nate socks, since he hadn’t worn any) and were planning to go bowling, but we weren’t able to because the bowling alley didn’t open until noon (this was about 10am). We […]

Date #1

I have set up days to have a “date” with each of my children, one on one. Today was Bob’s turn (age 12). I told him we had $20, and he could choose what to do. First we went swimming for an hour ($4), and then we went by Unclaimed Baggage and picked him up a military jacket that my […]

Sunday

I meant to comment on Sunday’s sermons. First of all, I enjoyed listening to him, because he grew up in Ireland and has a very Irish brogue. (For those who might know him, or know of him, this is Tom Fittis, missionary to Northern Ireland.) Sunday morning’s sermon was on unity – Psalm 133. I knew I should’ve typed this […]

Happy Birthday to me!

Well, as of today, 35 years have passed since I was born. For the next six weeks, I’m the same age as my brother (though he would vehemently deny it). I made myself a cake – there was some fondant left from earlier in the week – and decorated it. It’s been a very neat day. Our church is having […]

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!

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 […]
