On Reading

Read a wide range of topics, read about things you are passionate about.

Gracious - read the dictionary! I did that growing up. Buy good dictionaries and when a child asks "What does this mean?" Tell, show and help them learn to use the dictionary. Personally, I would use a real one, as I think it helps with learning words.

Pick a subject at random, learn all you can about it. You truly never know when it can come in handy.

Top picture is part of my book collection several years ago. The 2nd is from my visit to the library this morning.

Sunday Worship

Back? Maybe

 October was supposed to kick me back into blogging - y'all saw how well that worked!

Love this girl. Our beloved "AnkleBiter"

Since then I've lost another great-aunt. (My late maternal grandpa's sister.) Three friends announced pregnancies! (More babies for me to love on!)

My brother and his wife celebrated a year of marriage on 1-2-16. I love those two so much.

My family, by a last minute move of God, were able to buy the house we were supposed to move from by December.

Back! Hopefully...

This was definitely a very unplanned break from blogging. But life took a baseball bat and knocked me for six.

Moving/not moving? (So far as I can see? No, not now.)

Tried new things by way of canning - like peaches!  (Just a note - I will never blanch peaches again. EVER. I'll peel them, and use the peels for peach butter later.)

Randomness & Catch Up

wow, I skipped almost 2 whole months blogging. There have been several changes in my own and my family's lives in the past month. Plus, the changes in the world.

For one, after growing up all my life in the same house, we are officially moving. I do mean all my life - parents moved here a month before I was born. Our landlord's kids have been more than generous with the time they've given us to move - over 6 months. Excited for a fresh start, nervous, a little freaked out all describe my emotions right now. Not to mention I'm a little stressed as it's now less than 6 months to go and we have done almost NO packing done!


Of course, I started a new job in March and went full time in late April. It is closer to my desired field.

Sunday Worship and Musings

Sorry for my all too long absence. A lot of stuff is happening at my house right now.
