I sure want to thank all who wrote all the wonderful posts, the kind words and share great ideas and inspiration on the other blog. I’m so blessed by all the different comments, links and reciprocal blogs. It’s with joy that I look forward to the days ahead. I smile today bcz time has a way of sort of working things out… or the LORD in eternity works things out as we walk along day by day. So, I also smile as I see the passage of time and all the ways the LORD works. At the close of this…

more changes before the day’s over…

… than I thought.   I don’t think there are enough hours in the minutes of this morning to do the work necessary to make this a recognizable blogsite…….. but maybe after this gray morning clears… and the sun comes out (really!) I’ll be enthused to work on this mess. For now, I think I’ll take the wise advice and go in the kitchen and fix mochas for whoever wants to sympathize with me. I know I won’t be drinking them alone. ~smile~ Thanks to all who’re sympathizing with Glenys and her former website fiasco. If there are anymore links to…

after a major malfunction… maybe I am up and running again? With a simple click… that’s all it took: click. I sort fo felt like Ann(e) of Green Gables… I looked at the brooch and it… slippppped from my fingers and sank beneath the rippling waves. I effectively erased the other blog completely. Ooops. The sun’ll come out tomorrow bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow there’ll be sun Just thinking about tomorrow clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow… ’till there’s none When I’m stuck with a day that’s gray and lonely I just stick out my chin and grin…

Another Saturday Morning February 11, 2006 It’s early… one of the kinds of mornings I treasure so much… spending time with one child—the little early-birdie who brings the sunshine in!   Standing at the counter, and he sitting on the stool with the cutting board pulled out to form a table for him next to the toaster, we enjoyed tea and toast together. I’m purposefully etching the moment into my memory… for the days are fleeting. I’ve browsed the paper (yes, the paper-paper—-I remembered where I’d last set my glasses and thankfully, didn’t have to ask for the billionth time to…

May 6, 2005   ”  …There’s a Florida woman who lost 170 pounds on her personally designed “Backwards Diet.” She ate/eats for breakfast what one would have for dinner and for dinner what would typically be eaten at breakfast in addition to cutting out sugar (me: weep), caffeine (me: gasp!) and soda (me: sniff).  Now, I don’t know how she’s done this and maintained it for five years—or her stated clothing size, for that matter — a size 1 (!?!?) — but it’s really quite impressive.  But I was imagining what sort of special date she’d enjoy some evening… Hmmm, oatmeal…

July July 23, 2004 Growing up in California made me a Californian—but, seriously it’s hard for me to think that now living in Washington makes me a Washingtonian—this is just home to me. But I don’t feel like a Washingtonian.   Now, yesterdays’ blog may have been confusing—as it sounded as if we were in California.  Since California’s not in the real world anyway, how can one be very sure about anything when discussing the country of California.  It’s sort of like the whole place is a cinema or something.  Well, maybe a sinema.   What with all the make-believe and…

Go get your cup and read on. Blogging’s therapeutic for me, and I pray encouraging for you. Each days’ blog is a bit of journaling of slices of life here in our home and ways the LORD’s working. Someday my children will read “mom’s blog” and catch a glimpse of some of what was “important” each day, some of the “snap-shots” of the day, what was going on in the world and what really stirred up my thoughts. — May 27, 2004  I read with great interest articles pertaining to homeschooling—specifically, lately, articles featuring homes-chool graduates.  Since we have another home-school…
