We have been blessed this past week. 1. Lee got his 1st paycheck!!!!! Now I just have to figure out where to spread it around to make the most people happy! 2. My friend gave us a bag of clothes for James. 3. Lee survived full time school and full time work–sort of! He’s one [...]
James just updated his blog about camp:)
Mark Twain’s Autobiography will be published this year. Make your Own Harmonica A fun idea to help you wash fewer drinking glasses. I tried this cake recently. It was pretty good! Another pretty website for those who are eating gluten free
Twice in the past week, I’ve been somewhere that brought back powerful memories. It’s interesting to me that it’s often a part of a place that brings back the memories. One was the church where Lee and I were married. James goes to their VBS each morning this week. Yesterday when I dropped him off, [...]
Today’s thought about grace is Psalm 103:10–He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. Thinking about this moved me to tears. I am so grateful that God doesn’t deal with me according to my sin. What a mess I’d be in! I thought about parenting and wonder [...]

Every time we had cantaloupe when we were kids, my mom would say, “I can’t elope I’m already married.” One time my Grandma made us cantaloupe pie. We couldn’t imagine how [...]
I’ve been getting to bed at a fairly decent time lately! I’m happy about that. I got in some exercise last week. I gained a few pounds because I was letting myself have too many summer treats! So that has to stop. I’m back to being more strict about the low carbs which means I [...]
MMM! I picked up a Real Simple Magazine at the thrift store the other day. This recipe was in it and we had it for dinner on Sunday. It’s quite yummy 16 buttery crackers (such as Ritz), crushed (about 3⁄4 cup) 6 ounces sharp Cheddar, grated 1 clove garlic, finely chopped salt and black pepper 4 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts [...]
Since James is an only child, I think he has a tendency to get bored a little more easily. We keep busy and he does play with friends, but he’s often looking for something to do. While James was at camp, I made a list of fun ideas. I wrote each on a piece of [...]
