This morning we celebrated World Communion Sunday at church. The observation began back in 1933 in a Pittsburg Presbyterian church as a celebration of oneness. It was open to other denominations from the start, which is just one of the things I love about Presbyterians – the open, ecumenical practice of faith. It is now…
Chilly Saturday
We had some thunderstorms toward morning which meant that Shiloh was by my side of the bed panting from about 5:30 on. I think we need to buy him a Thunder Shirt. I took him out for a walk at a little after 7 and boy, oh boy, was it chilly! I had been too…
The Value of a Homemaker
Hosted by Living, Learning, and Loving Life, Cabin Goddess, and Tea with Dee. For one day, we want to drown out negativity and celebrate the beauty and pride of women.

California Bound
I’m on an unplanned journey to California. A very dear uncle is seriously ill and my parents decided to head to California to see him. They don’t like to fly and I was concerned about them driving all that way so I packed my bags last night and we headed out this morning. This picture…

We would also talk on the phone every chance we got. Our family phone was in the kitchen and those were…
What I’m Into (June 2013 Edition)
I’ve seen several people doing these “What I’m Into” posts recently. I’ve really enjoyed reading them so I decided I’d do it, too. Here goes: Around My Home Early in June David rented three levels of scaffolding and replaced the siding on the peak on the front of our house. This is a project he’s…
