No, I didn’t move to another country and, no, I didn’t lapse into a coma or drug abuse or anything like that… I just haven’t been blogging. And I probably won’t start back at it just yet, either.
It’s a long story.
But not interesting enough to blog about.
Suffice it to say that I’ve just had a sorta difficult autumn time and it’s been pretty much an uphill climb to stay on track… you know, the kind of track [...]
My first pie was probably the best pie I’ve ever made — though my mama tells me that a fresh blackberry pie I made something like eight years after that first pie was the best pie I ever made. I don’t know if either one was really the best — but in my fond memories, or the events that have made the greatest impression on me are those events that were ‘first’s’ — those attempts at achieving perfection with [...]
I’ve been thinking back on my first cake — well, I think it was my first — could’ve been my second. I was making a cake for my mother’s birthday — so, June. I made my first cake in June. I cannot recall the year — probably I was nine years old. I made a cake from a boxed mix and I added blue food colouring along with the eggs and water. Maybe some oil. It would have been [...]
So, yes… another homeschooling year has begun. We’ve already had the usual variety of commitments — planned and unplanned, absences and extra-curricular activities: some sick, some tardy, some cutting class (uh, that would be two of the teachers :-O ), etc., etc.
Three days into the new school year: We’ve already had to revise our expectations — both raising and lowering them regarding courses of study and assignments for different students. We’ve had to do this many times through [...]
I’m so thankful for such beauty, such amazing love the Lord has lavished on us. These are a few of my favourite things…
Good morning, sweet, fragrant roses fresh from the garden…
Good morning, pansies…
Good morning… waiting for the kettle to boil; time for princess grey tea with milk and honey…
Good morning, sweet hydrangeas…
Good morning, little rose buds and fresh eggs…
Hmmmmmmmm. So, all that happened.
It looks like a month has passed since I last made a blog entry. I’ve thought about blogging stuff… actually, I’ve thought about it a lot. But I’ve been thinking I ought to steer clear of controversial stuff — and wow! has there ever been some controversial stuff going on! But then I’ve thought that if I steer clear of commenting on controversial stuff, well, maybe there’s not a whole lot else to write [...]
our daughters… and me
I’m in awe…with more than I could ever have asked or imagined.
my mother, mother-in-love and me
Happy Mother’s Day
Thank you, Mama, for the gift of my life,
for the years of sacrifice
and love you have given on my behalf.
Thank you for you.
I celebrate *you* today, Mother… I thank the Lord for the blessing you are and have been to me. I pray He will bless you with faith, with love, with peace, with health, with hope and with joy today. Thank you for the blessing you are to me, to my husband [...]
Have you let someone mock you and steal your dream?
Our family crowed [sorry, that's a typo. Our family didn't crow around the computer -- we crowded; c-r-o-w-d-e-d]around the computer to view a YouTube video that was suggested to us. So we waited for the video clip to upload….
When she walked on the stage of “Britain’s Got Talent” it was obvious what the audience thought of the contestant, Susan Boyle. Standing there, smiling and obviously pleased to be there, she [...]
I’m seeking to carry on this birthday celebration for as long as I can. Why, I just might even name this blog: The Birthday Celebration Blog! But I doubt it. I mean, I think after a while, it would be rather boring to read about someone dancing day after day bcz she loves that she turned *50* — an age she never thought she’d be — and lives to write about it — or writes to live about it.
Some of [...]
