Our aunt, Sue (whom we fondly call “Baby-Sue”), brought 7 of her children down for the evening to get hair cuts and visit at Ju-ju’s house.  It’s always a treat when they come down!    And this time I actually remembered to pull out the camera. Ridin’ the wagon down the slab’s a favorite pass… Read more

Oh, did I ever want to beat a horse!    With gas prices as high as they are, we came up with the bright idea to minimize our grass cutting by letting the animals out in the yard several times a week.  It does help to increase the time between cuttings and it is less wasteful… Read more

I was just pondering this statement I recently heard as I was preparing supper: Foolishness is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Do you agree?  Best run before I burn something.    Let me know what you think. Read more

Today’s been a great day, but it didn’t start out that way.  I was up rather late last night waiting for Daddy and Bruce to get home from a business conference.  Needless to say, I was not very happy when my shadow, Missy, started waking me up much earlier than I’d planned.  I finally gave… Read more

This past week the Lord Blessed and provided Daddy with a new job!  He’s been “unemployed” for quite some time now and though at the onset we were all rather apprehensive, this time of uncertainty has been very good.  I’ve had several days for the reality that Daddy will soon be working a “regular” job… Read more

My cousin, her children, a friend and her young brothers all came down for haircuts (Lynn has a salon off our house) and just good ole visiting late into the evening.  The kiddos had a ball and I thoroughly enjoyed myself right along with them!   You should’ve seen those 4 boys chasing the chickens with… Read more

  I know, 2 posts in one night, but I couldn’t help myself.  These wacky birds have kept us in stitches for several weeks now!       Read more

Okay, I’m standing in the grocery store in the cleaning supplies aisle and out of the blue I have this thought:  “You need to go ahead and buy the toilet bowl brush.”  Now, I’d been telling myself for several weeks I needed to replace that very necessary household item, but as I’m standing there, I… Read more

We have this very special friend, now residing in California, that’s great to have around (especially at a close bowling match ).  We received word a few weeks back that “Chip” had no choice but to rest on his head to keep from falling over.  Imagining the awful headache, Bruce took it upon himself to create him a stand.  We’ve… Read more

Waiting’s been a theme for me and the Lord for a while, a lesson I’m becoming more and more grateful for as time goes by.  This past January, while doing a word study on “fixing” your heart on God, I ‘stumbled’  upon the following verse and quickly grew to love it. Isaiah 30:18 – And… Read more

That fox was back last night and met with an unfortunate, but necessary demise. When I went out to lock up the tractors at about 9:20 I could hear before I was out of the carport that the chickens weren’t calm.  (Chickens “announce” when they lay an egg and that’s how they all sounded but… Read more

Yesterday was my greatly loved brother’s birthday.  He’s 22 and that just blows my mind.  Why, I’m not sure,  but it does.  I remember when he was born, the only one born after Daddy went into the Army.  I was 4 and thrilled.  My grandmother came and picked me up (I don’t remember if my sister went with us or not),… Read more
