Getting Ready for an Arizona Wedding Reception
The newlyweds have arrived in Arizona! They’ve left the cold, chill and frozen ice of Canada and have traded it for a month of sunshine. The cabin (VRBO) will be their abode and our second guests! Welcome to the cabin – a cozy 1 bedroom retreat in the country. My husband built the barn doors and installed them. There are two barn doors. Both openings into the bedroom can be closed off with the sliding doors. The kitchen sink, counter and bottom cabinets still need to be built and installed. (I think that will be next week.) It’s such a nice comfortable place! (Click on this link to see…

A Well Lived Life
What do you consider a well-lived life? Many of us will have different answers with, I trust, being a borned again, surrendered Christian serving the Lord Jesus with all our heart at the top of the list.

Mark 8:36 But what else as a mom, wife, homemaker do you consider to be at the top of your list of important things? What do…

Recently, my 21 year old son, Wesley purchased his very first fixer upper. What a Really Bad Fixer Upper Can Look Like The pictures I am going to show you are horrible, disgusting and totally uninspiring to those who might think they want to get into the rental market. I am not over exaggerating the case but this is probably just about the worst fixer upper we have ever bought. Sometimes your children can make a…

Sharing the Gospel Boldly
Sorry to be missing once again from my blog but it has been yet another very busy week. We are currently in the high country on our annual ski trip that we take. Today is a relaxing day for me as I decided not to go skiing. It’s been two years since I’ve went (last year I had vertigo and couldn’t make it) and my leg muscles were letting me know it. It’s such a fun sport though. Here is the large group that went this year (missing some). We kind of dominated the mountain. 🙂 One of the things that makes us stand out so much is all…

Make 2017 Your Best Year Ever
Happy New Year! It’s quite shocking to think how quickly 2016 went by, but here we are – January 3, 2017. What will we do with this year? How will we make it count? Are we making the most important thing the most important thing? Is this the year we can finally lay aside all our grudges and differences and just choose to be happy? Instead of focusing on what others are doing wrong, could we change our viewpoint and look for the good in each other? Life is too short to dwell in the mollygrubs. It’s easy for us ladies to let our emotions rule us and especially as…
