Getting Ready for the Holiday’s
Has it only been a week since we came home from Pennsylvania? So much can happen can’t it, in just a short time? I arrived home from Pennsylvania only to be laid up in bed for 3 days. I had become anemic and did that ever bring me low. Absolutely no energy and just wanted to sleep and sleep and the headaches were horrible. Thankfully, I was able to see a naturopath who prescribed some tinctures to help with the situation. I’ve had so many bitter tasting substances in the last several days. Yuck! But I’m on the mend, thank the Lord. I’ve been working on a family cookbook. Last…

Greetings from Pennsylvania
We’re still in Pennsylvania enjoying the Thanksgiving holiday and we made it here almost without incident. A flight at 2:00 a.m. (I’d like to know who schedules planes at this time of the day!) caused us to try to catch a few winks wherever we were for any length of time. It was there at Dallas/Ft Worth airport that we had an unpleasant incident. My son found an ipod and headphones on a seat. The airport was completely deserted as it was still too early for any flights, so we knew the owner was nowhere around. So my hubby went to the gate where we would be boarding our plane for…

The Lovely Prospect of Family Pictures
Getting a family picture for us has never been easy. Maybe because I have 4 boys??? But for some reason, my kids could never just stand there and have nice bright smiles. Oh no, they had to tickle, pinch or push each other into position. Then I would get involved and… well maybe we should just leave it at that and suffice it to say there were red eyes for the pictures following. Today is the day we get to do it all again. I know we’re ALL looking forward to it. haha I’m trying to reassure myself that things are a little easier since the boys have gotten older…

A New Pantry! So Exciting!
When my husband moved our energy system (inverters & large battery) out to the shed he built just for it, he got the thought to build me an additional pantry. I couldn’t imagine how it would work but he had it figured out in his mind. In my mind I was thinking about the wash basin, the large tool box he has for working on cars and the 2 freezers in the way. Where would they go I wondered since the entire garage is completely full? But there was a way. The washbasin is no longer and the freezers still have a space in a different location and since the…

A Trip to Illinois
I’m thankful for the last several days Justus and I were able to spend in Illinois with my parents. The start of my trip didn’t go so well. We left the house at 4 a.m. but then we ran into this situation… A semi trailer had caught on fire. No one was hurt but the freeway was closed and so we sat. When we arrived the officer was just putting out pylons otherwise we could have been through and made it to the airport on time. But we didn’t and our flight was missed. So we had a nice long (5 hour) layover in Chicago. But the reunion with my…
