Back to Normal – if there is such a thing.

November 30, 2008

Well, it’s back to just me and John at the house.  It was wonderful having the girls here and I can’t wait until 12/21 when we pick Lindsey up and have all 3 girls for 10 days!!! Since she was left out of the photo shoot, Lindsey sent me this picture…miss you Linds.

I took Katie [...]

So much to be thankful for…

November 27, 2008

My workshop at school went very well on Monday.
I had a great time helping Agape Ministries help 300 families get Thanksgiving boxes – I worked with traffic control.
Tuesday, Hilary and I had a great time shopping (even though we had to drive through 4 inches of slush for awhile)
Katie’s plane was on time.
I got everything [...]

Such wise advice…

November 23, 2008

Lindsey, our oldest daughter, is a Spanish teacher in NC.  Take a look at her blog for today and remember that no matter what your financial condition in these uncertain times…God is in control.

Christmas in the Air…early…smells a lot like pine boughs.

November 22, 2008

No – that doesn’t mean it is snowing…although Hilary wants snow. My friend, Terry, set up a wreath making/cookie tasting party at the church for 4 PM today…we were using it as a fun time and an outreach to friends and family.  We had 30 ladies there eating cookies, listening to Christmas music and making [...]

Ahhh – Accomplishment!

November 21, 2008

A good night’s rest puts a new perspective on things.  I got a lot accomplished at school and everything is set for the workshop I am teaching Monday.  I got the studded tires put on John’s truck, fixed supper for 3 (ha – easy – leftovers), cleaned the kitchen and accomplished a huge task of [...]

Still Here…

November 20, 2008

Hey! I’m still around, but this has been an exhausting week and I am feeling a bit overwhelmed.  Rest will make all the difference in the world.  Hopefully, I can update things tomorrow. Night…

My Grandmother’s Apron…

November 14, 2008

I had a great day at school, annual physical in the afternoon (all systems a o k), cooked supper and then began putting my Stories in Hand binder together.  It has turned out very nice and would be finished except all of my hole punchers are missing – hmmmm…I can’t get my 3-hole adjusted to [...]

Feeling Like November…

November 13, 2008

The weather has cooled off and it is raining right now…it was spitting snow Tuesday and a little bit this afternoon.  It will be here soon enough.  I feel like this month is flying by and soon it will be Christmas.  I want the holidays to come because all the girls will be home, yet [...]

A Warm November Week…

November 9, 2008

I can’t believe how warm it has been this week – in the upper 50’s-low 60’s.  That is not normal for November, but I’ll take it.  The down side is when we get our normal weather it will feel extra cool.  I had a great week at school – I love my job. I know [...]

Productive…today.

November 4, 2008

I ended up with a horrible migraine Sunday afternoon that continued through Monday…I did go to school, but should have stayed home.  MANY doses of meds did not help Sunday.  I rested after school and did go to One Voice rehearsal, then right to bed.  I have felt better today, although can tell I am [...]
