Along with posting stories from my past, devotional thoughts, and photos of the family here on my blog, I also want to keep you abreast of the latest news in our fair city.

We enjoy homeschooling. (Most days.) One of the more difficult aspects of homeschooling for me would be completing all of the “hands on” projects. When we do the actual lessons and bookwork, all of my materials are readily available. When we do science projects or art projects, things are not so ready or available. I …
We had survived the broken leg that my poor nephew, Stephen, got on the Saturday we were in North Carolina. We had survived a busy Sunday morning getting everyone ready and out the door for church on Sunday. We had thoroughly enjoyed hearing the preaching of Bro. Bobby Roberson in the morning, and Shelton Smith …
On July 26, Melanie and I had made plans to go to Olive Garden with two of her friends. I’d already heard many nice things about Angie and Wendy, but it was so nice to put a face with the name. Right as the server was bringing our salad, Mel’s cell phone rang. It was …

I hope this post doesn’t come across as “sickeningly sweet”, but if it does, I apologize. As I opened up my Bible this morning, I found an added blessing. Terry had slipped me a card inside! I was so surprised to find it, and the enclosed note he had written! Here’s a photo of the …
We have two sweet kiddos living right across the street from us. I know that they’re sweet because I go to church with them! Nicholas and Maria have been a blessing to my kids. They ride bikes together, play at the “big tree” together, and jump on the trampoline together. One day about a week …
Here are a few of the photos I promised. I’ve got a lot more to come!Packing… Here I am making a “moving sale” sign. We earned $100 on our moving sale and we were only in business four hours. We were pleased. Here is a photo of the packing process…the boxes started piling up! Okay, …
