For the Doers
Today is Labor Day. I don’t want to take up this little blog with the full history of Labor Day, but I did want to share this interesting summation of this last holiday of the summer, that I came across from Country Living magazine. “Simply put, Labor Day celebrates Americans who labor. It is a…

It Made Me Sad
Like most people, my husband and I run our standard errands on the weekends. They usually include a stop at the car wash, a run to the hardware store, and, of course, a stop at the grocery store to stock up for the week. Last Sunday, as usual, we made our way through the aisles…

Start it Right
It’s going to be a busy day ahead at our Christmas Market. I’m heading out the door to get an early start on some things, and I almost skipped writing this little blog. I figured you all would understand, and then I realized, um, I always have time for Jesus! I’m guessing He knows what…

Real or Fake Tree?
Oh, the variety of Christmas catalogs have started to arrive 🙂 . Last night when we picked up the mail there was an advertisement for Balsam Hill. If you are like me you can waste hours just looking through this catalog. I love to look at the beautifully decorated spaces, they put Christmas literally everywhere…

The Faces of Innocence
Yesterday was our annual fishing tournament at our church. It was truly a fun-filled day with great weather, great food, and loads of families enjoying the day together. In addition to our “anglers”, we had an option for people to take an eco-tour and spend some time on one of our local islands that provides…

Happy Birthday Dad
Yes, Happy Birthday to you Dad. You aren’t physically here in this world, but not a day goes by that I don’t think about you and wish you were here. My dad was kind of so/so about birthdays. I always got the impression he could take ’em or leave ’em 🙂 . He wasn’t much…

Old Home Week
So as I’ve mentioned, our granddaughter is graduating this weekend. We’ve made the trip back home to celebrate with her. Of course, when you make trips like this you plan things out to meet up with friends and family. It will indeed be an old home week, well at least a few days anyway. We’ve…

Sunsets
I started this little blog last year as a way to share Father’s love through the sunrise and sunset pictures I’ve taken over the many years. My original plan was to write a book, (that may not be totally off the table), but God kept nudging me, and as the home page of this little…

A Mother’s Day Prayer
As we celebrate today the gift of moms, I wanted to just offer this prayer. Being a mother is one of the most treasured gifts that God gives us. There is really nothing like it, well, maybe being a grandmother, but that’s for another day 🙂 . I’m blessed with two beautiful and amazing daughters.…
