Family night at our home has been renamed by Isaiah. On his own, he started calling it “Happy Night”. Each week (usually Tuesday) we play together something as a family, talk, laugh, giggle and always end it with ice cream. Of course the kids favorite game for us to play during Happy Night is Hide-N-Seek!…

I am busy getting ready for my honorary “loyal lurker” (her words, not mine) to come with her family for dinner tonight in our little log home. She has blessed me with sweet friendship, many prayers and much laughter and I can’t wait to hug her neck in person! Anyway, Emma (15) has loved photography…

Saturday evening I was cleaning up the kitchen after coming home from the yard sale. I was tired and exhausted – it had been a long day…..I still had to feed the kids and get everyone ready for church in the morning….. Baths, clothes set out and shoes and Bibles set by the door were…

It All Goes Down Hill from There

Emma met a young man at camp a little over a year ago. She had never shown even a bit of interest in young men, until him. His name is Alton and he lives kitty-corner across the state from us (daddy especially liked that when we first heard of Alton!). They have corresponded for the…

By the time Emma and Dw were leaving for Africa Emma had bought or had donated through yard sales & thrift stores 207 little Beanie Baby type stuffed animals. Many were actually Beanie Babies.

If the slides are not “sliding” close the “x” at the right corner. It seems to close at will, even when the entire group of slides have not passed through. Just so thankful for the ability to post these pictures as a slide show!!
