We spent some time on the east porch Saturday afternoon. The twins found the cat brush and they had a great time grooming Zak. The first few strokes were a little hesitant. Zak is so compliant and easy-going that it didn’t take the twins long to relax and enjoy brushing the kitty. The girls also […]
Saturday we enjoyed a day at the farm. I sat in the sun and watched everyone cleaning the yard, pulling weeds, digging out honeysuckle vines, building the base for the chicken coop, and other general garden/yard work. It’s hard for me to walk over uneven ground, so I was happy to watch. The twins were […]
Happy birthday to my wonderful husband! Right now, he’s riding 57 miles on his bicycle for his 57th birthday. I don’t have a picture of that, so here he is making bread on Christmas Day. He’s a man of many talents. And he makes delicious bread. ~~Rhonda
The grands spent the night Tuesday. Cheered me up a lot. I gave the twins these hats that were supposed to be for Christmas. They love them! ~~Rhonda
This has been a difficult week. My mother passed away Tuesday morning. The evening before, one of my dearest friends from college also passed away. Today is visitation for my mother and tomorrow the funeral. We appreciate your prayers for our family and for the family of my friend, Lynn. I wish I had more […]
The week before Thanksgiving, the twins stayed over night on Tuesday, so they could get haircuts on Wednesday morning. My friend comes by the house to trim our hair and she was happy to do the twins, too. Before she arrived, the twins had breakfast. Pancakes with sprinkles… “Pink’s my favorite!” “I like blue.” Sprinkles […]
Merry Christmas, Family and Friends! We pray this finds you well and enjoying God’s many good gifts and blessings. In January, we savored a week of lovely weather in Florida, while home was hit with an ice storm. We were glad to get reports from friends that all was well at our house, though we […]
Our son and his family came over for supper this evening. We celebrated the twins fourth birthday. I was frosting the cakes when they walked in. Excitement reigned! But they were adamant! NO flowers on the cakes! I was lucky to get them to relent to my using any other color but their favorites…blue and […]
This one has been stating all week, “I don’t want to go back to my house! I want to stay at Pa’s!!” Several times a day. Any time she thinks about it. Interjects it into unrelated conversations. Just wants us to know… This afternoon we’ll see how that goes when she, et al, move into […]
I was able to get out in the yard for a while this afternoon. Really enjoyed the autumn sunshine and the beautiful foliage colors. The leaves are turning quickly this week. The bright yellow gold of the hickory tree was beautiful against the blue sky. DH raked enough leaves to pad the wagon and we […]
