Ever since Ethan was introduced to the weight room at the rec center in middle school (part of PE), he likes to go up and work out on his own. He often looks at the ads forbodybuilding supplements and asks me about them. I don’t know enough about them to say “yay or […]

Up from the grave He arose,
With a mighty triumph o’er His foes,
He arose a Victor from the dark domain,
And He lives forever, with His saints to reign.
He arose! He arose!
Hallelujah! Christ arose!

Given the choice, would you prefer to live in the country or in the city?
“Country” could be subjective. I have lived in the country — 10 miles from the closest town, and I would just as soon not live in the country. When you work all day, get […]

With Easter being so early this year, I have a feeling my sister-in-law won’t be setting out the teak patio furniture for us to have Easter dinner on. Alot of us ate outside on the patio last year, but then, Easter was later in the year as well. Looking at the forecast, it […]

I wonder if there is any kind of addiction treatment for blogging? I just started another blog this weekend. Well, actually, truth be told, I reactivated it. Last fall, I bought 4 or 5 different domains, all with “an idea” in mind of what I wanted to do with each one […]

I am sooo glad that it is now officially spring. Granted, I know just because it says on the calendar that its spring, that doesn’t necessarily mean that we wont’ still have more cold weather, even snow or ice. But, I’m am hoping the days of having to leave the bathroom faucet running […]

I feel like we have a new life ahead of us. Ethan graduates next year. We will have our house paid off, the Explorer paid off and the camper paid off by next year (actually the Explorer will be paid off in the next month, and the camper by the end of the […]

Ok. I’ll confess. I had to Google festool when David and I were talking about work the other day, and he was telling me why he hadn’t hung the bulletin boards we had bought a month or so ago yet. He said something about Festool, and I had no clue […]

COMPULSIVE about anything?
Unfortunately, yes. Lots of things. Shopping, eating, blogging. I used to be really bad about compulsive shopping … and I still have my moments. But, I would like to think I have it better under control. We still go to Walmart from time to time, and leave […]

I don’t buy them often, I but I love looking all the different comforter sets that are out there. I was able to find one that was on sale for our camper last summer, that makes our bed area look comfortable homey. I know, what do you need a comforter for in the […]

On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 as highest), how much do you like your own handwriting?
7. With the age of the computer and keyboarding everything, I don’t hand write things as much as I used to, and it actually hurts now to write much at any great length. But, […]

David and I were talking the other night, and I am really excited. I knew that just one more payment (well actually, its more like a payment and a half), and my Explorer will be paid off. Thinking ahead, I thought what I would do then was … I receive 2 checks a […]

Things That Make Me Happy
1. Walking out into the warm spring air.
2. The sun shining without it being terribly hot.
3. Seeing my grandkids.
4. Learning some new.
5. Getting things completed — things that seem to be major projects and have been hanging over my head for awhile.
6. Scrapbooking with a […]

I still haven’t quite figured this all out. Next year, the television system will be going all digital. If I understand right, since we get our viewing from a cable company, we should be OK, and not have to do anything. One company has really promoted this, but its not […]

I love how Ethan interacts with the customers at the grocery store that he works at. Sometimes, I will just stand back and watch him. He has been working less hours because he auditioned for a play, and has had play practice these past few weeks. So, his hours have been mostly […]

Because it is a new building, I have really nice office furniture where I work in the mornings, which is the church. The desks and such that we have at the trucking company have seen better days. I would really like to have a computer desk, instead of a regular office desk. […]

I can be such a duffus sometimes. This morning was a classic example. I don’t even know my own son. How bad is that??? It went something like this …
Every Monday morning, our minister, our youth director, and I meet at 8:00 to go over our calendars, share concerns that we might have, and then […]

Today was a really nice day, and a forecast of warm and sunny days ahead of us. Maybe spring really is right around the corner. I hope so. I am ready for those wonderful spring days. We plan on doing alot more camping this year, and would like to start early […]

I know this is a major step for anyone, and its still one of those “I’ll believe it when I see” kind of thing. But out of the blue lately, David has been talking about building a house. He even has the ground all picked out. No, we won’t be looking at Wilmington real estate, […]

As I am getting older, finding all natural skincare products, has become more and more important to me. It seems like my skin has changed over night. What used to work last year, now drys my skin out. I’m sure soon-to-turn-50 doesn’t have anything to do with it. I don’t wear […]

When we did visit those friends that I mentioned in my last post, they didn’t take us to any Pacific Beach bars, but they did take us up the coast to wine country, and we visited a winery, which was memorable experience. We don’t drink wine, but at that time, we were a […]

We have friends who live in California. The last time I talked to them, they were giving their house a facelift in San Diego. When we were out in their part of the country in the mid-90’s, we spent a couple of days with them, and I thought their house was beautiful beyond […]

Its been a season of colds and flu around here. David was down 2 weeks with the flu; and Ethan missed all but one day of school last week, went Monday of this week, and missed today — with conjunctivitis. The infection he had last week moved to his eye. So far, […]

I look at Ethan, and find it hard to grasp the concept that this is almost our final year. This time next year, we will just have months left, and then he steps off into life, and being an adult, and my years of rearing children will be over. Gone are the […]

I’m glad I had a good day. David sure didn’t. It was most definately “A” Monday for him. Started out bad, and went downhill from there. As for me, it was a nice quiet morning at the church. I got stuff ready for the board meeting tonight. Didn’t have to do prayer cards because where […]
