Peace

Peace.
It does not mean to be in a place
where there is no noise,
trouble,
or hard work.
It means to be in the midst of those things
and still be calm in your heart.

Book Review: From High Heels to Bunny Slippers

 
I just finished this wonderful book. I was surprised at how much of it pertained to me. Since I have been out of work just over a year in caring for my son I figured the transition from work to home was complete. I took this book out of the library on a whim and [...]

Maybe Next Time

 
My Dearest New Hampshire,
This coming weekend is Labor Day.  I know we normally spend the weekend together but due to a number of reasons I cannot make the trip.  For this, I am deeply sorry.  We had so many wonderful things planned; hiking, sight-seeing, sleeping in, ATVing, fireworks (see above) and campfires (see below). As much [...]

But aside from playing in the grass and walking all over, there wasn’t [...]

What’s in a name?

I have been bitten by the bug. That would be the “Blood Bug”. There is rumor that my husband has Indian in his blood. We’ve been trying to track down the exact tribe (if that is even possible) and we are also trying to dig up his family tree.

All This Busy-ness

There’s been so much going on lately.
Baby T has turned 1 year old. I started school for children’s writing. My hubby and I have been taking some culture-type classes on Monday nights. And there has been a number of different events from weddings to union picnics. Summer is really crankin’ at this point and I [...]
