Wow, I just knew I’d be back over here in a day or two after my last post but then things went wonky. I started trying to decide whether our little churches should continue to meet on Sunday mornings. We are a predominately elderly (over 70) congregation but we are also very small. I had...

Christmas In July – More Traditions
Yesterday I reminisced about Christmas traditions, specifically ornament making. I have so many other traditions I could share and maybe I will but in going down memory lane I'm reminded that traditions are fun and important too but they shouldn't consume us or close the door on new ideas and traditions. Sometimes as we grow... Continue Reading →
Christmas In July – Traditions
In keeping with my Christmas in July theme, I've been thinking about Christmas traditions. I have so many from when I was growing up that I just adore and have incorporated into my little family's traditions as well and I have traditions that we have started new to my little family. When my son was... Continue Reading →

This actually sent terror through my heart. My baby girl, going to Chicago without her dad to protect her?? What kind of crazy... Continue Reading →
Not So Empty Nest

Okay, maybe not grand... but I think they like me and that's grand! Our sweet little Chief passed away almost a year... Continue Reading →
I guess it had to end eventually…
We got up early the next morning and headed back to the airport for home. Vermont was beautiful. I wish we had had more time to explore but we had a wonderful time. Our flights home were easy. We spent the first flight just talking... like for real! The whole way we just talked and... Continue Reading →
It’s THE Day
The next day was all about Graduation day for my DH. OH! Let me know back up just a bit... Just before dinner the night before, I received texts from family that their flight had been delayed almost 2 hours! They were already getting in really late so now we are worrying about flights again...... Continue Reading →
More fun adventures!
So much fun! That's what we had on the next day's adventure. DH had some time off so I rode in with him and sat in the car for a while waiting on him. Yep, we're that couple... the one that sends selfies to each other when we are waiting around. Anyway, after about an hour... Continue Reading →
