Autumn

The still sweltering days and the sultry summer nights diminished as campfires and s'mores are exchanged for sweaters and homemade soup. Leaves of all shapes and sizes dance off trees to the rhythm of the blowing breeze--red, gold, and brown: a change, Autumn, my favorite time of year. A daddy is raking these colorful leaves … Continue reading Autumn

My Office

Musical instruments are scattered throughout the house. Where’s my mic? I can’t find the cord for my keyboard! What did I do with my alto recorder? I thought I just bought guitar picks, UGH!

Beautifully beholden to bequeath, to bestir beyond breath, on behalf of this behest bejeweled beauty before, behind, and beside our begotten. Beware the beguiler beneath--who befogs, befuddles, … Continue reading Beyond Belief

The First Day of My Summer Vacation…

Thank goodness our kids are grown and married now. It's difficult getting kids to pitch in sometimes, isn't it? Kevin and I started working on our … Continue reading The First Day of My Summer Vacation…

The Kitchen Tool and the Body of Christ

Every day, I thank Jesus that my husband loves to cook! I can do it, but he loves to do it. Yay for me! And a definite YUM for us! He makes up his own marinades and they are never the same. He keeps it fresh and amazing. Our kitchen is filled with cute chef … Continue reading The Kitchen Tool and the Body of Christ
