Where has April gone?! You would think with all the problems due to the virus that time would just be hanging, but it's flying by. My life hasn't changed that much except for church. However, I have felt over the past month or so that I'm waking up more from my grief. I don't really …

Friday File 84
In spite of the rough start to the summer with my car accident we had a good summer. My arm is healed now although I think I will always have some scarring. Thankfully it no longer looks like the VW logo. We stayed at home this summer just making one short trip to the States …
Wherever He Leads I’ll Go
We sang this song in church yesterday, and even though I was playing the piano and couldn't concentrate on the lyrics much they still spoke to me. "Wherever He leads I'll go" - that's not always easy. God called my children and I to move so far away after my husband died. I have never …
Friday File 82
I know I've been missing in action for over a week now, but I have a good excuse. I've been battling the flu. It's never bad enough for me to just stay in bed and get over it. It's just bad enough to make me drag my way through school in the morning and then …
Friday File 80
We've had a really good week. My wrists are slowly on the mend so I've been able to do more handwork. I've been cutting out quilt squares, scrapbooking, sewing and cautiously knitting. Playing the piano is still what causes the most pain so except for playing in church I'm not playing the piano yet. I'm …
Friday File 77
This week seems to have gone by in something of a fog. Getting used to school even with only two weeks off has been an adjustment. It didn't help that we had several dentist appointments to work in around our school schedule. We had another birthday this week. Micah has hit the double-digit mark now! …
Friday File 76
This has been a busy winter break but a good one. I wrote out a list of things to do, and I think I accomplished about 80% of it so I'm happy. It's been nice to stay up late and sleep in. To not have the pressure of school every day. I'm not sure if …
Friday File 75
No sewing this week (insert sad face), but I was able to get in on a big sale at my local fabric store. That means I have enough fabric for several projects. Enough to keep me busy for several weeks! Our family had two firsts this week. First, our oldest son, who now has his …
Friday File 73
Another busy week! But I still managed to sew even if it meant doing it early in the morning before I woke the children up. My son asked me for a gun case for his airsoft gun. I was a little nervous about this project because I had no idea how I was going to …
Friday File 71
Finally I have a laptop that works. So I'm back in business with my digital scrapbooking. Very happy. But we lost my camera chip - unhappy. I've also been busy this week in my youngest sons' bedroom. I've had new wallpaper for their bedroom for months, but I've been afraid of it. I didn't realize …
