I love puzzles—all kinds of puzzles. Sudoku, crossword, word search, maze, word match, word scramble. But most of all, I love jigsaw puzzles. Back home on the farm, it seems we always had a jigsaw puzzle in the process of being done. Especially during storms when school was called off, Mom laid one out on […]
I look back at the seven years of homeschooling our children as my most chaotic and rewarding time. Looking at this picture from 1992, I now see the unique personality of each. Aaron (7 years old) tried a few months of first grade. He had fun initially, but when he returned from a 3-day hospital […]
I love Fig Newtons, and I have a funny memory involving Fig Newtons and my mom who can always rationalize things for the good. The grocery store is Mom’s favorite of all stores. She could spend hours reading labels and making sure she got the best deal for the money. One day, as Mom and […]
Our son and daughter-in-law gave my husband and me a very unique Christmas gift this year. We each received an analysis of our spirit animal. This is a big thing right now. Who knew? A lady who used to be an FBI profiler looks at a picture of a person and can tell his/her personality, […]
I have fond memories of traipsing through our woods on the farm in Pennsylvania to find the perfect Christmas tree. Each year, we promised ourselves it would be even more beautiful than the year before. I’m not sure that we ever succeeded. However, in our eyes, it was perfect in every way with one branch […]
So…which of these does not belong? The first child always suffers while the parents try to figure out the parenting thing. I could say the counted cross-stitch pattern was at fault, but I’m not sure. All I know is that I spent hours on that stocking and never saw a problem until I proudly hung […]
My husband beat me to it this year as he leaned over me and said, “Happy Thanksgiving, my love.” It made me stop to think of all the tiny blessings we miss each day. I am truly blessed that I live with my tech support. With two laptops, a desktop with dual monitors, an iPad, […]
Recently, we have seen and heard angry people on the news. Some people have experienced it within their own families or within their circle of friends. Makes me wonder what happened to all the kind and considerate people. However, my faith in humankind was restored recently in a strange and wonderful way. The day ahead […]
Our playhouse in the apple orchard on my childhood farm is my most favorite place of all. (You can just barely see it behind the family picnic.) I must have been five years old when our Uncle Bill helped Daddy build the house and tow it up the knoll to rest under a large apple […]
Have you written out your New Year’s resolutions? Time’s a wasting as they say. The first full two weeks of the new year is in the history books, and we are racing through the month. What’s holding you back? Have you given up on making resolutions? Cecil Murphy, author of 90 Minutes in Heaven and […]
