There just hasn't been time or energy enough for blogging lately. I hate that, but what's a girl to do? I spent weeks preparing for Christmas and then weeks more recovering from it and blogging has fallen by the wayside. Oh, to have the ability to do it all! What a joy it would be to be … [Read more...]
One Girl’s Opinion of Homeschooling
I'm very new to homeschooling, first of all. I homeschooled one of my daughters for kindergarten a couple of years ago, but this is my first year homeschooling all of my school-age children. I have one in 6th grade, one in 2nd, a kindergartener, and a preschooler taking … [Read more...]
What the Duck Man Taught Me About Jesus
I don't like ducks very much. Come to think of it, I'm not fond of birds in general, but there was a day when I was at least very tolerant of ducks. They seem harmless enough when you don't know them very well and I'll even admit they're kind of cute, but as I've come to know ducks better, I'm … [Read more...]
Please Don’t Let My Obituary Read: She Had the Cleanest Kitchen Floor Ever

I finished it two weeks after my last post, but then it was time to get ready for a week of youth camp and then I had company coming in and...well, I'm afraid my … [Read more...]
Back to the Hoosier Cabinet…and other things
To say my Hoosier Cabinet was dirty would be the understatement of the decade. I stand by my contention that it's been sitting in a shed for years and it had thick layers of dirt to prove it. Simple Green and I scrubbed away at every inch of that thing multiple times and I dirtied every rag I had to … [Read more...]
The Work Begins…
I started work on the Hoosier cabinet on Monday. The heat was brutal, but it felt so good to finally get the process started. I pulled my cabinet out and cleared it off. (My dear husband was already becoming far too comfortable with piling stuff on top of it, so I knew I couldn't delay this project … [Read more...]
The Hoosier Cabinet
Sometimes people have absolutely no idea what a treasure they have in their possession. And that usually works to our benefit! I was sleeping in a couple of Friday mornings ago when a friend called to tell me she'd seen a Hoosier cabinet at a yard sale on her way to work for just $40. I have to … [Read more...]
