More Than A Song

As I mentioned the other day, I received my Michael W. Smith Christmas cd in the mail and have been listening to it this week! It has some really nice songs on it and several of them are instrumental; when I heard them I thought what a nice cd to have playing in the background […]

Yo mama, that’s who! Elizabeth came home over the Thanksgiving break; had lots of studying to do, visiting family, sleeping, laundry etc. One of the last things I think she washed was her Easter dress from this past spring. She put it in my machine on the hand wash setting Sunday afternoon and then fell […]

Mostly we get bills or junk mail but last week I got real mail! These came for me last week….. I won the Amy Grant book maybe a month or so ago and had almost forgotten about it (from so many books blog) The other one was one of Katrina’s book give aways. (It’s signed […]

Recently I showed a picture of some fabric I’d bought and I’ve been working on this project trying to get it finished. I’ve been sewing for a long time but quilts/blankets are not something I really know how to do; I’m just now sort of learning. Mine isn’t very fancy and won’t really be that […]

Last week’s meals didn’t all get cooked as planned! So I have a few carryover meals from then, and maybe this week will be a little more normal. Hope all of you had wonderful Thanksgiving feasts and time to visit with family! Check out tons of other menu ideas at Laura’s place…..most of them are […]

I’m not sure about planning this week, some of our plans as far as meals seem to be up in the air! But maybe at least this will give me something to shoot for. Monday…..night off! Tuesday…..chicken wraps and fruit, if my child makes it home this night! Wednesday..Shrimp and wild rice casserole, veggie Thursday…..Thanksgiving! […]

We don’t always get a lot of the spectacular fall colors that other parts of the country get, (maybe because we’re a little too far south) and this year the color has seemed slow in coming. We haven’t had a ton of cool weather so that might have something to do with it. But I […]

A few months ago I bought a new coffeemaker…..my kids that were home visiting told me I needed a newer one, one that could be programmed the night before. So I did get a new one; Stacy kindly took me to Sam’s and I bought one just.like.hers., because she says I want to be just […]

“woof, woof, woof, woof.” That was a mighty fine game I saw on tv today! Our Mississippi State Bulldogs beat Alabama! I got to hear this quite a few times. My daughter, the Alabama student, asked me yesterday if we were ready to get beat! Fun game for us E, sorry you missed it. “Who […]

“A purple sky to close the day, I wade the surf where dolphins play, The taste of salt, the dance of waves…And my soul wells up with hallelujahs” I was listening to this on my ipod yesterday while walking and remembered this picture I’d taken a little while back. It’s not great photography because it’s […]

I’ve noticed over the last year and a half that when Kathryn or Jeremy read books to Katelyn, they read aloud whatever is on the cover and title page before starting the book. So if they’re reading Pajama Time, along with reading that title they’ll also say, by Sandra Boynton, Workman Publishing. Or Goodnight Moon […]

Several of you commented that you wanted to see what I bought when I went shopping last week. I’m sad to say that I found nothing, absolutely nothing! I had a great time being with Stacy and going in different stores but for some reason I just couldn’t find anything worth getting. We went to […]
