I’ve known people who cannot for the life of them understand why I want to live in the Midwest. To those people, I say, I don’t like big bugs, hurricanes, earthquakes, or poisonous snakes. Maybe it’s in where I grew up. I grew up on a small farm in Illinois. Yes, there is a placeContinue reading “I’ve known people”

In the Bleak Midwinter…Car Stuff
Ok. Odd title. However, if you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I suffer from “BSOS” or “Bright Shiney Object Syndrome” aka ADHD. So…it came to my attention the other day and I was reminded of it today, that some people don’t know what to do in a Midwestern winter. That gotContinue reading “In the Bleak Midwinter…Car Stuff”
Finally Done???
I start with the view from my couch/bed. Sad, and yet so happy to have gotten the storage unit cleared out!! Woohoo 🎉!!! Celebration! Well, yes, except that I’m too pooped to party.

No Extra Cloak or Pair of Sandals
Do you remember this advice from Jesus in the Gospel? He tells his disciples to go out and spread the good news, but not to bring any extra provisions. Why? Because God himself will provide for them. Wow! That’s a pretty amazing concept! So, as most of you know, we have been on a longContinue reading “No Extra Cloak or Pair of Sandals”
Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow
Tomorrow we are leaving our temporary home at the shelter. It has been 90 days and we need to move on. We have made many friends here who we will be sad to leave. However, it is time.

Never Just a Cake Mix
Today I decided to use up some of last Summer’s homemade peach jam. But what to do with it? I have, on occasion, used baking mixes. Mostly they are a base for something tasty. That was the case today. I don’t exactly have my own kitchen right now, so I have to borrow one toContinue reading “Never Just a Cake Mix”

The other day we had a pretty strong storm here in Wisconsin. However, when the clouds moved East, the sun shined in the West and a beautiful rainbow appeared. It reminded me of that very first rainbow and the promise that went along with it. God has not abandoned us, even though the mortgage companyContinue reading “A Rainbow Promise & Chocolate Sauce”
