Our homeschool group offered spring soccer for eight weeks, beginning the first week of April. Yes, I’m just now, nine weeks later, sharing photos. Why? Because I snapped over 300 photos and for some reason, the folks around here want clean clothes and food, so I put off editing photos. Even today, I found myself …
I stopped at the large window in the master bedroom of our parsonage. The view wasn’t anything majestic; no mountains, ocean or rolling hills to see. My view was a red brick church building and an asphalt parking lot. I stared at the empty lot, watching the breeze rustle the leaves of the bushes in …
I don’t do a lot of outdoor work. I have terrible seasonal allergies – nasal and asthma. I also have very tender skin. I burn easily and I break out easily to grass and, of course, the dreaded poison ivy or oak! Despite all of that, today I was able to do a job that …
I have already shared with you that Leslie turned nine last Saturday, May 17, but I didn’t share the photos of her party. She was blessed with so many cards, gifts, and cash! My children are rather picky when it comes to cake. Some of them don’t like store bought cakes. I used to make really …

The recital lasted two hours and included forty-seven different songs! Mitch didn’t play …
We have a very busy weekend ahead of us, so I wanted to drop in right away and say that today, my sweet Leslie Anne is nine years old! She was the first child born after my dad died. Her precious little face and soft cooing gave me something to smile at through my tears. …
Today, my son took the final test of the year. We have officially ended our school year! I have averaged the grades and everyone passed! And no, I don’t pass my kids even when they aren’t learning. But then, they always learn. I’ve noticed that as a homeschooling mom, I am able to quickly see …
I had a wonderful and very busy Mother’s Day weekend! One week ago, my husband decided to attend his alma mater’s alumni banquet which was the Friday before Mother’s Day. The Bible school he attended is out of my home church, (Victory Baptist Church in Benton, Arkansas) so, it seemed logical to just stay the …
“Do you want to just do it alone?” I snapped to my dad as he was helping me with a chore. He had made some innocent comment to me about my method of packing (or something) and those sharp words were my reply. I never imagined that those would be among my final memories with …
