The Mountains

Whoooa. Now that was fun. Four-wheelin in the mountains with our two teens. Graham and Dw had been able to go before, but it was a first for Emmy and I. The scenery was breathtaking and we had a blast…and for those of you who don’t live in the mountains…soak in the beauty! As I…

Elijah is snuggled with me in this big ol’ chair as I begin to type this. He just kissed my arm. Precious baby boy. So glad mommy’s home and you can bet your boots, this mama is so glad to be snugglin’ with him. A few days ago we were eating dinner and Isaiah happened…

“Why Do You Keep Calling Me?”

I am supposed to be doing something else {even have the 5 little ones at my moms to get it accomplished – thank you mama!} but I am compelled to tell you all a brief story. Yesterday morning I received a phone call on our house phone. Seldom does anyone call it, since we use…

Memorial Box Monday – Our Elijah

July 26, 2010 Linny Saunders25 Comments

It’s Monday again – and what a wonderful week-end it was for us. We had precious old friends arrive – 3 families…all from my youth group days many, many years ago. And what a blast we had! Is there anything better than laughing with treasured friends? Not much in my estimation. I can’t help but…

Thanks a Million

Whoooa! Now that was stinkin’ fun….. Really and truly, yesterday I was giddy and giggly waiting for it to go over a million. Probably because I am just a Mom of Many, who has lived most of my life quietly serving the Lord alongside my husband, a total homebody – who would rather take…

Sally – Please Sit in the Time-Out Chair

I’m tellin’ you… Some people will go to any length to win something… After posting three comments that had me laughing late last night from my Virtual Twin, Sally, she then sent an email with these three pictures attached… My Sweet, Beautiful Twin, ummm, yeah, great picture, but like who can read the Site Meter?…

Sometime Over the Week-end…

Sometime this week-end a monumental event will occur {at least monumental over here at this Place Called Simplicity}. A few days ago we noticed that the Site Meter counter was nearing the “big one”. {Right sidebar, beneath Live Traffic feed.} The thought of having had one million visitors here at Our Place Called Simplicity in…

17 Years Ago Today – Our Emma

July 22, 2010 Linny Saunders87 Comments

Seventeen years ago today I woke up in the night and couldn’t sleep. I was eight months pregnant and had just been {finally!} allowed off bed rest the day before. I had been on complete bed rest for 3-1/2 weeks because I was already dilated to 4 at only 7 months pregnant and I was…

“Cause Paper Doesn’t Wash Off”

July 21, 2010 Linny Saunders28 Comments

Kids are hysterical, aren’t they? Sometime yesterday a certain someone wrote on the wall in the little boys room….Quite certain they stood on the window seat to create this sudden artistic flair…. Who exactly found a marker and “went to town”? Hmmm. Let’s look for clues…. Upon closer examination we find a bunch of “E”s…
