My youngest daughter graduates this June and my homeschooling journey will be over. It seems like only yesterday that we started and the time has flown by way too fast. So much that has been a part of my life is changing, leaving me that I am filled with mixed, bittersweet emotions. It is once again... Comment - Like

The first snow of the season always brings an excitement. As long as the roads aren't too messy and unsafe I enjoy a white winter and having the ground entirely covered. We've only our first real snow of the season in the past week -- a few inches with more possibly this weekend.

We've started getting ready for Christmas and are enjoying putting up the treasured decorations, some of which have been around for a long time and the same for years. This year we've started with the indoor decorations first. At last it's snowed, our first real snowy day. It's also got very cold, s... Comment - Like

This is a first for me, some thing new to me. I had never heard of these OR seen one until this autumn season when we went to the Pumpkin Patch a few weeks ago. Can you guess what this is? Comment - Like

This has been a rough year, especially the past couple of weeks, some of which I wasn't expecting, some I knew was coming but was not ready for. How do I adequately describe my mother-in-law and put a 30 plus year relationship into words? I can only try: Dear Mom,
You came into my life over 28 year... Comment - Like

Well, the summer has flown by faster than any other it seems. It's been a rough year so far but things are improving a little bit at a time. I've been working all summer, hibernating in my air conditioning, organizing my boxes of books, sorting, scanning images, writing descriptions ....

This has seemed like a long scorching, sweltering, suffocating summer. I've hibernated in the air conditioning. With little rain and plenty of heat, at the end of July, we've already had 14 days of 90 degree temperature, high humidity but only 2.5 inches of rain. Not like the two previous su... Comment - Like

Mom's birthday party was a wonderful time with her and all the rest of my family together. My family isn't as large as it use to be so this was indeed a special time for all of us. Her brother, my uncle, who will be 91 at the end of this month was there. Dave's mom, my mother-in-law, who is 85 was a... Comment - Like

WE LOVE Paula Deen. Her Broccoli Salad recipe is a favorite. It's so good and just right with all the hot weather we've been having. I would never have thought of putting raisins in a salad like this or that I would like it BUT it is delicious.

I've been in slow motion the past five months and I'm in slow motion still, literally walking slow. I was not planning for bursitis to settle in my knees but this is where I'm at. I go back to the doctor tomorrow for a recheck and possible different medicine. My garden has never looked worse as I ha... Comment - Like

Growing up in the time of convenience, pre-packaged food my exposure to a "pantry" or any one who kept much of one came from knowing my Grandmother and Aunt who cooked from scratch.
