A New Year – 2022! Looking for Blessings
I cannot even believe 2022 is here already. Life seems to be on fast forward these days. So many beautiful things happened this year. There were trials and pains but we’re still standing! God saw us through and He promised to never leave us nor forsake us. He promised all things would work for our good and that, my friends, is what I’m hanging on to. I want to be able to focus on all the good things God has done for me. If I do that will I not learn to see and recognize Him in the ordinary everyday? In the moments that are special but maybe not glittery…

It’s Time to Celebrate! A Party for Our High School Graduate
I love to commemorate the milestones in my children’s lives and so when my kids graduate from high school I like to give them a very special party. It was only a few days before the party that my son who we were celebrating, accidentally burned our barn down. He was one disheartened young man looking at the destruction caused by the fire. I am so thankful that he wasn’t hurt, nor his sister who was trying to help! All of our tables and chairs were burnt in the fire and we had to go buy more tables. We rented the chairs. I was prepared with rectangular tablecloths but when…

A Drive-by Gender Reveal Party – Twinkle Twinkle Little Star How We Wonder What You Are
Well as things go, my daughter who was married back in 2019 in a beautiful field by our home, is going to have a baby. What an absolute thrill for us. We received a little wrapped package in the mail. Inside was a note attached to a baby pacifier announcing the special news. ♥ Serenity decided to have a gender reveal party. Now I never did find out what I was having. All 6 times it was a complete surprise and so far all my children have opted to be surprised too. But my daughter and my son-in-law wanted to know. Serenity decided to go with a twinkle twinkle little…

Little Packages and Commercial Ice Fishing
The end of 2019 brought us a little present. Our 2nd grandson was born! Marrion Kenneth was born on December 28, 2019 weighing 8 pounds 2 1/2 ounces and measuring 20 1/2″ long. Born to our oldest son Seth and his wife, Jessica, Marrion Kenneth was named after Seth’s grandpa who just happens to be my dad. My father is a very special man and at this point there are 4 grandchildren (including great-grandchildren) that bear some part of his name. Seth’s middle name is also Marrion! Hope is quite happy with little brother. We got to go visit and meet little Marrion. It was a nice time! While we…

The Reception – Part III
The wedding was over, some light refreshments had been offered to our guests, pictures taken and it was time for the reception to begin. While the wedding was going on the people we had hired to serve the food were setting up the tables. Unfortunately, it was too breezy to do it any earlier; we were so thankful that they could do it. Some of the family stepped in and showed them how to set up each table so that was a blessing. We just couldn’t have done everything without the help of different ones! May they be blessed! If you would like to hear some of their playing, you…
