Better late than never, right? It’s still Monday for a few more minutes…
The counting of the multitudes of His blessings continues, as if I could ever actually count them. I may have lettered on my high school Math Team, twice, but I could never count high enough to count my blessings in anything [...]

Ugh, I hate losing entire days of my [...]

This is Minnesota and we live in a rural area with a lot of wetlands- they don’t spray for mosquitoes around here. A toddler, a preschooler, or anyschooler, or even a mom or dad with multiple [...]

Mercy was playing on the table (yes, I know, I said on, because she was) with the potato heads and some rubber duckies, when I heard a concerned “Mom, get your coffee off the table!”
Seconds before, I had noticed how close she was to my 3/4ths full cup of morning coffee. I was already moving [...]

I have a story to tell, but it needs more writing. There has been another asthma flare-up, and like He has done so many times before, the Lord has taken such good care of us and our girls. I’ll try to get it up for tomorrow. For now, [...]

381. that brilliant orange display of His creativity (Orioles are my favorite birds, I think, it’s so hard to choose a favorite…)
382. listening to the Loons call from the lake across the highway well into the night these past few nights (Loons are another favorite, see? it’s so hard to choose, but then, I don’t [...]
