So the other day I listed some things I wanted to do more of and one was writing. I even said maybe I'd try my hand at poetry. Now, I am definitely not a poet but it was fun to try to just pen a few words together to mean a little something... at least... Continue Reading →
Happy Empty Nesters?
Yesterday was such a lovely day. Both DH and I had tons of work to do. Usually, we go our separate ways to do our work. He goes upstairs to his work area and I go downstairs but yesterday, we decided to sit together to do our work separately. It made for a lovely day... Continue Reading →
The Obligatory New Year’s Post
So, it's a new year. We are almost a month into the new year and I have not done the obligatory new year's post. I'm not really interested in making resolutions or creating a new me or any of that, but I am looking forward to a new year, one that is different and the... Continue Reading →
Silence
Oh my, I have been silent on here for way too long. I guess I just got busy. This empty nest thing has been okay. Oh, I miss my kiddos every day but I'm surviving and even thriving. We had a wonderful holiday season. It went by much too quickly. We all gathered about an... Continue Reading →
Finding a new normal
Well, I've been away from the blog for a bit. I just haven't felt much like writing. I've been keeping busy with sermon writing and worship planning and when I'm done, I have no desire to write. I've been in a weird place but I'm feeling better. A huge interest of mine is alternative medicine.... Continue Reading →

When I started this blog a few weeks ago, I was all about the lasts but now... it's all about the firsts! This was our first weekend as Empty Nesters. It was a quiet weekend recuperating from the big move of our DD, but I think we both enjoyed it. I already blogged about Saturday... Continue Reading →
And so it begins…
Today is our first Saturday as empty nesters. It's still early, only 9:05 am here but it's started out pretty good. We tidied up the patio and had a lovely breakfast out there but then it got hot and we came inside to finish our tea and coffee. I crocheted for a bit. DD needed some... Continue Reading →
That was so hard…
This morning, bright and early we left dd in her new apartment ready to start her new adventure. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done. Leaving my son 6 years ago is another one... We spent a wonderful 5 days with her, moving her in, unpacking, setting everything up and doing a... Continue Reading →
The Adventure Begins…
For my daughter anyway. We made it to her new home and it is lovely. Our 10.5 hour drive turned into 12 with the trailer in tow. And there is a time difference. Yes, my baby will live in different time zone! Anyway, I digress, we arrived at 7:30pm and got the keys, found a... Continue Reading →
