This week we had to go clean our house that is for sale. It was dusty and dirty from sitting for so long.
The feelings that came the last time I walked in that door were not as strong this time. I carried boxes through that door with my engagement ring on my left hand. I [...]

Cleaning the House For [Hopefully] the Last Time
Sunday Poem ~ Did You Ever Talk to God Above?
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 [...]
…Run and Squeak and Squawk With The Animals…
My 5 yo son mentioned to some one that “We almost have a zoo! We have a cat and a rabbit.”
He has no idea. He has never been to his cousin’s house. Their dad is a veterinarian.
Anyhow…
This is what’s been going on at our house with our 2 animal/3 kid zoo.
The rabbit [...]
A Little Red Caboose
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 [...]
I’m Stuck In a Mattress Rut
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 [...]
Do The Bunny Hop
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 [...]
How Not To Make A Top Bunk Bed
Putting clean sheets on a top bunk bed is difficult for me. That’s putting it mildly.
It’s almost as many contortions as 20 minutes of Pilates, but it’s worse because there is no one telling me what to do or being ridiculously cheerful.
Kneeling on the bed to strip the sheets is easy enough, but I [...]
It’s a Technological Age
Kailani at An Island Life hosts Aloha Friday every week. “In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing heavy or [...]
Sittin’ Pretty In Her Rocking Chair
Time once again for Show & Tell at Kelli’s!
I’m pleased to introduce you to Melanie, my one and only china doll.
In the summer of 1990 my aunt sold Princess House products [I think that's what it was] and had brought a catalog to our house. There were several dolls that I thought were [...]
The Nest At Our House
This is the nest at our house.
These are the eggs that lay in the nest at our house.
This is the duck that laid the eggs that lay in the nest at our house.
This is the bush that sheltered the duck
that laid the eggs
that lay in the nest at our house.
This is the gander that guarded [...]
