Let the river flow…

So, we live on the Bearcamp River in NH. Every year we have lived here the river comes up within 3 feet of our deck and we get some water in the basement. Thanks to the sump pump it is usually not more than 1-4 inches…We had rain all day Monday and Tuesday. When I [...]

Productive Day…

I got quite a bit accomplished today and it feels good. The bathroom shines and the kitchen/dining room floors are clean. Pippin slipped out the door and took a run to the river. When he returned he left muddy pawprints all over the floor. Thankfully that was BEFORE I had mopped. He spent a long [...]

Headed Back…

Well, our short jaunt to NC has come to an end. Surprisingly enough, me the photo queen or papparazzi as my daughters call me, took ZERO photos. We really didn’t do anything photo worthy, just enjoyed the company of many friends. Right now we are sitting in the airport waiting for our flight to Boston [...]

NC – Hooray!

We’ve been at my sister’s a few days; however, her computer would not let me get on WordPress to write, so I decided to connect my computer to her internet cable today.
It has been great being with Lindsey and Melodie. We enjoyed a wonderful supper at Carrabas Saturday night and went with Lindsey to Elevation [...]

Saturday School…

Today went OK for a Saturday at school. We had good attendance; in fact, 4 classes had perfect attendance. My kids did OK until about 11:30 am and then they began to get antsy. It was a good thing we were done at 12:30 pm. I made a quick trip to Portsmouth to pick up [...]

That is not my daughter…

Hilary was in San Diego last week (Wed-Sun) for a national student government leadership conference. She is the only girl on ENC’s student government next year, so for the costume night they were to dress up as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (dwarves follows the rule I teach my kids in school, but Disney [...]

Recipe Mess.

So, are any of you those people who have all their recipes neatly filed and can find any one of them at a moments notice? Well, I have had great plans over the last 2 years, but not a completed project. I took all my old cooking magazines and cut out the recipes I wanted [...]

In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps” (Prov. 16:9, NIV)

John and I had some meetings yesterday and then spent some time at the Mall at Rockingham Park. I can’t tell you the last time John and I have shopped together at a mall.  I bought a Time Capsule at the Apple Store! I had been saving birthday/Christmas money to get an external hard drive [...]

Love them Like Jesus…

I got an AlertNow message from the school at 5:30am. It wasn’t a snow day, it was an important staff meeting. Over the last few years I’ve gotten a few of these calls – we received two this school year when the school was broken into. It always gives me an uneasy feeling because you [...]

April…

This desktop calendar is called “Signs of Spring” by Mistica. I think it is about as close as I’m going to get to seeing Spring for awhile…Happy April!
