I think I’m getting over my deli counter intimidation. At least I hope so. There’s just something about clean glass counters covering rows of meat in front of people whose job is to ask “Can I help you?” that bothers me.
Sometimes I feel like, “Sorry to bother you, but would you please get [...]

One of the perks of my husband working for a railroad is free rides. This time we rode the caboose.
They just painted the engine. Doesn’t it look spiffy? It’s from 1941 and the caboose is from 1942. Pieces of history.
This is one of the seats where the men riding the caboose [...]

My 5yo son pointed to an envelope with JENDI on it and said, “What’s that say, Mommy?”
“That’s my name.”
He quickly replied, “No. They spelled it wrong. It starts M-O-M…”

It took me over a year, but I’ve been awarded a bloggy award! So, all of you who haven’t received an award - hang in there! Those of you who have received a bunch of awards - don’t tell me, ok?
My first award is called the Arte Y Pico award and it “was created/made to [...]

Yesterday I started schooling my 5 year old. Technically it’s not homeschool because he is registered with our church academy and we worked out details/evaluations with them. In every other aspect it’s homeschool. He’s at home and I’m in charge. That’s the short version.
This is the beginning for me. All of [...]

On Saturday my husband and I moved our bed to the other side of the room. He suggested that we switch sides of the bed.
I thought it would be no big deal, but boy was I wrong. Saturday night was a night of very little sleep for me. Him? He slept [...]

What is home without a Bible?
‘Tis a place where day is night,
For o’er life’s beclouded pathway
Heaven can shed no kindly light.
What is home without a Bible?
‘Tis a place where daily bread
For the body is provided,
But the soul is never fed.
What is home without a Bible?
‘Tis a vessel on the sea,
Compass lost and rudder broken,
Drifting, drifting, [...]
Posted in Daily Life, shopping on Aug 9th, 2008
My husband figured out that the way he was dressed affected how much service he got at Home Depot/Lowe’s.
When he went shopping and looked like a contractor dressed in his jeans, t-shirt, and boots he hardly ever got asked if he needed help.
Then he went shopping on a business lunch break dressed in a button [...]

This week my husband bought me 2 living things and some chocolate. The chocolate is history so that’s not worth mentioning…except it might still be hanging on around my waist.
He bought me some pretty flowers “just because.” Do you like getting flowers “just because?” Does it make you feel like a stinker [...]
