Encouragement in Womanhood, From Mary, the Mother of God
Advent rememberings. Advent is a good time for rememberings, for remembering what God has done in our lives, to sit with your children by a cozy fire and tell them what God has done. Telling of the Egypt he has taken us out of, as a new nation of believers, aliens, countryless awaiting for our … Continue reading
Seasonal Greetings: Part ll
A small note before I post today’s thoughts; I will be working on getting my youngest daughter started on a blog of her own, and my other blog, the Sheet Diet, that has been terribly neglected and is ready for resuscitation. So I may not be posting much here this week. Do not be alarmed, … Continue reading

Dirt, a school teacher (college level, no summers off), often has holidays like Veterans’ Day and Independence … Continue reading
Having A Happy…
Thanksgiving Day proper was the best. I spent the day taking care of some two hundred seventy-five gladiola corms, my canna tubers, and my dahlia tubers, they all got separated, cleaned up and packed in sawdust. My begonias weren’t ready yet, still very damp and then I went to my pile of strawberry plants, … Continue reading
Seasonal Greetings: Part I

Amazing
I am most amazed and impressed not by people who make a ton of money in their chosen career, or singers, actors and models who become famous and are worth over a half a billion (yes, with a b) dollars, nor by ordinary people like you and I, who slog through ordinary things, but by … Continue reading
