This has been a cool week - cool enough for socks and sweater - but bright and sunshiny most days. I can handle a summer like this. My garden is loving in. We've had just enough rain that I haven't had to water the garden yet and loads of sunshine. On a sad note, my …

Beautiful Rose
This has been on my heart and in my mind for quite a while to introduce you to a lovely friend of mine - Rose. Several years ago the Lord took her home to heaven, and I have missed her ever since. I first met Rose when I became engaged to my husband. She was …
Toilet Paper Holder for a Small Bathroom
So all over Pinterest you see these list of hacks that you just have to know. I do not claim to be a creative person on my own. I can follow a pattern or a recipe and maybe do a little embellishment, but mostly I need lots of direction. Which is why I was so …

Library Time 31
Well, I can now say that I've read the entire "Hunger Games" trilogy. This week I read Catching Fire and Mockingjay. Of the three Catching Fire is my favourite. I just found Mockingjay to run from problem to angst to battle to wound from battle to angst to sorrow to angst without any real let-up. …
