This post was supposed to be about “Adventures in Plumbing” but life interfered. So, while I did change my old showerhead to a new one, I did not have time to replace my leaking kitchen sprayer. Why you ask? Because I was doing that dreaded task of helping child #2 get all of her informationContinue reading “Adventures in Life”

Green Pepper Casserole
Years ago when my children were young, I tried to find a way to make stuffed green peppers that they would like. Everyone loved the filling, but not all the green pepper. So, I figured if I made it with strips of peppers, rather than whole peppers, maybe my children would eat it. Originally, IContinue reading “Green Pepper Casserole”
Adventures in Carpentry
What did I do today? Why, I played carpenter, among other things! Child #3 needed her bed fixed. She shares a bunk bed with her twin sister. As the occupant of the lower bunk, she has two boards running along the sides of her bed with a few 2 x 4’s running perpendicular to holdContinue reading “Adventures in Carpentry”
Epiphany
Tomorrow is Epiphany. It is the day we celebrate the three wise men coming to see Jesus after His birth. They are bringing him most precious gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. What do we bring to Jesus? I am reminded of “The Little Drummer Boy.” Oh, how I hated that song! I always foundContinue reading “Epiphany”
The Annual Squish-A-Boob and Our Favorite Creamy Dip
Today was the day of my annual squish-a-boob test, otherwise known as my mammogram. Yeah, it was THAT day! I used to go to a clinic about twenty miles away to see “Rose” but she retired earlier this year. Nooooooooooo! I loved Rose. She made the annual squish-fest into a non-painful event. No black andContinue reading “The Annual Squish-A-Boob and Our Favorite Creamy Dip”
The Light
Have you ever noticed that when there is total darkness, your eyes will focus on the smallest light? Interesting, isn’t it? Think about that. Where is our focus? Why, the light, of course, as should be. Why then, when we are lost and broken do we take our eyes off of the light? How doContinue reading “The Light”
New Times/New Challenges
Christmas break started last Tuesday for child #3 and last Wednesday for child #4. It has been an interesting time. Child #3 is struggling, and with Christmas and the weekend, there hasn’t been a lot of resources for her. Also, there’s the fact that child #2 and I have not been feeling extremely well. WeContinue reading “New Times/New Challenges”
Seeing Jesus
I was picking up prescriptions and a few other things at the pharmacy a couple of towns over from home. It is not in the best neighborhood, but is fine during the daytime. I try not to go there at night. I tried a different pharmacy a few years back, but the pharmacist and techsContinue reading “Seeing Jesus”
A Merry Mistake
This past weekend child #4 wanted to make a favorite cookie of ours – snickerdoodles. She started out just fine, and then made a critical mistake. Instead of adding brown rice flour, she added brown sugar. A lot of brown sugar. So, what to do now? Well, I wasn’t about to waste all of thoseContinue reading “A Merry Mistake”
