This evening we started making strings of popcorn and cranberries for the living room tree. Snow White was entranced. She stuck with it until I told her it was bedtime. She told her great-aunt Genny, “I helped you because you needed lots of help!” By the way, she did her own hair-do, in case you […]
The tree in our upstairs guest room is decorated with ornaments made of spun and molded glass. Today, our son and daughter-in-law came by to help decorate the tree. It took all afternoon, but they stuck with it. The twins are fascinated by the whole decorating process. Today was no different. It’s fun to watch […]
After two years of homeschool, our youngest daughter now goes to public high school. When she gets home, we usually take some time to chat. Coffee was the order of the day, today. Chilly out. Surprise for me…she’s finally agreed to my taking her picture and posting it to the blog. 🙂 ~~Mom
They’re five! We had cake and ice cream this evening for the twins. Lots of fun! They practically squealed when they saw the pile of presents. Snow White’s favorite presents? Dora’s friend Boots the monkey and her blue feather boa! Rose Red and Snow White…happy birthday girls. ~~Ma

The twins couldn’t wait to see the candle lit. We are very blessed to have Beulah / Mom / Grandma / Great-Ma with us. A sweet and lovely […]
This past week, DH and I celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary. It’s harder for me to get out than it used to be, but I didn’t want to miss our annual trip. For ten years we have been celebrating our anniversary by visiting daylily farms and finding new plants we would like to add to […]
Today we went to my Dad’s house to celebrate Father’s Day with the entire family. Dad was in the hospital a few weeks ago with chest pain and ended up getting a stent before he went home. It makes today all the more special, as we thank God for Dad’s recovery. Any time we visit […]
