Thanks for visiting! If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed using the feedburner link to the right. I had determined to not shop at yard sales this summer.  Most of our stuff is packed away since we are living in a temporary place and we don’t need any [...]

Did you ever talk to God above?
Tell Him that you need a friend to love.
Pray in Jesus’ name believing
that God answers prayer.
Have you told Him all your cares and woes?
Ev’ry tiny little fear He knows.
You can know He’ll always hear
And He will answer prayer.
You can whisper in a crowd to Him.
You can cry when you’re [...]

After she petted the calves she squatted down and looked up under their bellies. I’m so glad that her Daddy was closer to her than I was. He got to answer her questions. By the way, one of them was a boy.

Speaking of cows…

She also asked, Mommy, why didn’t milk come out [...]

I’ll tell you a semi-secret. I liked the movies National Treasure and The Librarian. My man watched them with me even though he rolled his eyes.
House of Wolves by Matt Bronleewe is that same type of story. It’s about August Adams getting pulled (literally) into protecting a rare manuscript and dealing with [...]

This is one of the seats where the men riding the caboose [...]

As I walked closer to the deli counter I noticed an older man scrutinizing the different types of turkey.
The elderly lady behind him said, “You didn’t get a ticket.”
“Huh?”
She repeated loudly, “You didn’t get a ticket.”
“There isn’t any.”
“Yes there is.”
“It’s empty.”
So she walked over and told the employee, “He says you don’t [...]

I wrote my first post on July 13, 2007. In it I said that I was going to wait a while to tell anyone about my blog. I think that lasted a whole week for online friends, and two weeks for real life friends. Oh, well.
“E-mail as a Second Language” was my first [...]

Finally today I will take my kiddos into the “big” pool instead of just their little pool.
I solemnly promise to work on blog posts for the rest of the week - later this evening.
The pool has been open for a week and a half. Whenever we had time to go in it was too [...]
