A Mended Heart

Wow...what a weekend I had last week! Busy, highly emotional, and rewarding all in one. I don't have a furniture or home project to share today but I do have a 'heart' project. Last week I received news that the son of some old friends who was also the grandson of another set of old friends had ended his life. He was a gifted and much loved young … [Read more...]

Bless his heart……

Good Morning!! If you had been awake at 3 am, you could have called because my eyes were WIDE OPEN!! Honestly, this season of a woman's life is NOT meant to include children who need to get up at 6 am for school! God knew what he was about when he said...."woman, thou shalt not have any more children after (a certain age)". I made that up, so don't … [Read more...]

The Weekend is here……….I Love Monday

Ahhhh....the weekend. 72 hours of people around me constantly.....hmmm......good,bad,good,bad.....how to tell? It has it's moments though. Last night my hubby and I were able to go out to dinner to a local, out of the way place. It's an old house and you sit on the porch and eat. It's down a country road and as it got darker, we couldn't even see … [Read more...]

Burning The Candle at Both Ends

Wow! I can't believe tomorrow will be a whole week since I posted! You can see the title and realize I have been doing just that!

The reception was last night and went very well.....hordes of … [Read more...]

A Third Eye

            I am sure I am experiencing a medical marvel. There must be a third eye in the middle of my forehead. I can't see it.....nor can other adults. But it is apparently perfectly visible to anyone over 12 and under 21. I know it's there because of the way the children look at me when I say stupid things like" don't put your index finger into … [Read more...]

Back to work

The house is quiet....just the way I like it! Kids at school, two big mugs of coffee consumed and a little of the tiredness is going away....I didn't get much done yesterday....that is by my standards......due to the invasion of the body snatchers...also known as carpal tunnel syndrome. I injured myself and started this problem about five years ago … [Read more...]

New Beginnings

I think I have read this opening line in almost every blog I've viewed.... "I've never written a blog before...." .....sorry, you're reading it again! Oh well.... I guess I should let you know why this blog has been started.  It is simply to save my sanity and the physical lives of those around me.  Now THAT is certainly a much more … [Read more...]
