More Than A Song

Saw where Dawn posted this, Stacy and I were interested in it so Stacy emailed me some info on it in a google doc. I may make some changes but here is the list for now: */A book with several short stories or novellas (Christmas in Three Rivers) */The first book in a new-to-you series […]

Has it been a month since I posted?! There’s been a lot of things happening and nothing much going on at the same time, if that makes any sense. Lots of little things but nothing too major for my family. My google reader is out of control and I seriously need to cut back on […]

Back in the fall sis Stacy updated our wordpress to a newer version, easier to manage but my old theme didn’t work with it anymore. We found fall looks and then something for Christmas that did really well. But since then I’ve not been able to find a theme that worked right for me. I […]

The turkey is thawing and lots of other food is in my freezer ready to go. All my kids are coming in today and extended family will be here for Thanksgiving day. I’ve still got some spots that need baby proofing and a few groceries to buy. I do believe I’m going to take a […]

This quest to get rid of extra stuff out of my house has left me a bit frazzled lately. I can’t seem to keep up with that and regular work, activities, walking, church, blogging, etc. The latest thing Liz and I have done is to go through quite a few boxes of vhs tapes we […]

We started bible school on Monday….the decorating went better than we first thought. Now I’m just trying to study some each day and get materials and activities together! Found lots of bamboo looking mats and some grass skirt type things in boxes at the church so those got hung in lots of places. Someone made […]

My jury duty for the whole month of February started today, ugh. This is for federal court for the northern district of our state. We had to be there at 8:30 this morning, being sure to bring no cell phones, palm pilots, newspapers, magazines, food, drinks, etc.! I did put a book in my purse […]

This is the first menu I’ve done since before Christmas I think, and it feels good to actually have a plan this week! Maybe this will help me get back into a routine, something I’ve been having a hard time with this month. Thanks to Laura for hosting this each week. Check out her place […]

Our blogs have been down for a week and I just didn’t quite know what to do with myself! It’s one thing to have it available and just be busy or choose not to do it but when it’s not there, somehow the thought of it was making me loony. Thanks to my sis and […]

We’ve been studying parables at church recently and last weekend while watching a movie we heard this quote by Malcolm Muggeridge: “Every happening, great and small, is a parable whereby God speaks to us, and the art of life is to get the message.â€? I’m not familiar with Muggeridge but both of us really liked […]

If you haven’t seen the contest going on over at Nan’s place, be sure to pop by there and check it out. She’s having a Summer Soap celebration and the prizes are some divine looking homemade soaps. There are some really neat sites to check out and pick out your favorites; then you can leave […]

I got something from Lynne last week in this post and then in the last day or so, Debi awarded me with it also in her post! Wow, y’all are being very sweet to me and I appreciate it! I’ve been gone some and am way behind on reading blogs and taking care of things […]

Ooooh, look at what’s being given away at Five Minutes for Mom! We actually saw these about a week ago while shopping in Best Buy. They look great and had a good picture too. I love that it’s flat and would fit in so many places better than one I currently have. Some lucky person […]

I got something from sweet Annie, a thoughtful blogger award…..she’s way too sweet! Also Sandra gave me something similar at her site. Y’all are very thoughtful to take me along up to where you are! Other details for these can be found on this site. “For those who answer blog comments, emails, and make their […]

I hope you have a wonderful Fourth of July today! Fly the flag, eat something fun and give thanks for our country. That’s what we’re doing this afternoon with a small group of friends. I’m glad my hubby has the day off today, although he told me he needed to do some office work later […]
