I’m playing a bit of catch-up here… If you remember, I mentioned that we had a wonderful visit with our Alberta girl back in April. It had been a full year since we’d seen her–two years since our df girl and cl boy had seen her. Last week, we met our cb girl and her…… Continue reading family, friends & friends that are family
If you’re not a Star Wars fan, you may have no idea what this means. I will enlighten you: it is a play on “May the force be with you,” the “live long and prosper” of the Star Wars saga. Yes, the Star Wars gurus have given fans an entire day for this phenomenon…so Happy Star…… Continue reading may the fourth be with you
We enjoyed a wonderful week with our Alberta girl! Not a lot is going on around here yet, so we mostly just chatted as we hung out, played games, watched movies and did a little sight-seeing. We each had a ‘date’ with her. We did have a few nice days to walk the beach, too.…… Continue reading time with our girl and makin’ sushi
We are now two weeks into spring. Someone forgot to tell the weather. We have had several snow storms with, perhaps, more on the horizon. Today, the grey air holds a fine snow being blown furiously about by the seemingly never-ending wind. The dreariness of the day echoes my mood. This day would have been my brother’s forty-eighth…… Continue reading i am holding on
I have been madly trying to work on some projects for my new grandlittles. They’ve actually been in the works for some time, but I’ve stalled here and there. A friend mentioned once that she prays for the recipient of the things she makes. I thought that was an awesome idea, and began doing this myself. I…… Continue reading busy hands for little ones
We finished up our Bible Study 101/Psalm 119 study and started a new topic in our Ladies’ Bible Study. We decided to use the Pure Joy Bible Reading Challenge from rachelwojo.com as our springboard. We’ve only done two weeks and my joy has already been put to the test. My Northern boy and his lovely wife just had…… Continue reading new grandlittles & joy tests
Home again, Home again, Jiggedy jig. When my Alberta girl was little she loved to read a book of rhymes at my mom’s home. She particularly liked “To Market, To Market” and would often happily repeat “homey, homey” (which was her version of the home again line) when we’d pull into our driveway after traveling. We…… Continue reading faithful and full of faith
It’s been three years since we’ve had our own tree. (You can read some of our story here, here, here, here and here) Because we have not been in our own home, most of our belongings were in storage and we did not have our Christmas decorations with us. That’s a long time when you’re a kid.…… Continue reading o tannenbaum
My cl boy begs for skinless, boneless chicken. He is the most meticulous meat eater on the planet. Not a speck of fat, a flake of char or minutest of skin will pass his inspection–or his lips for that matter. In fact, it’s not just meat, but anything really. His toast must be browned just…… Continue reading tastes like chicken ~ honey soy chicken breasts
I’m sure for most of us, we have a few favourite Christmas songs, even if some of us get a little grinchy about having to listen to them for too many weeks. It’s hard to deny that most of the Christmas music out there just plain makes us feel good and all Christmas-y-like. When my cl…… Continue reading sounds of christmas
