    Four years later

    Four long years. I miss him every day. Just about everything has changed for me, except the love for the Lord that my sweet hubby infused in me. Dave lived with unwavering assurance that God would walk with us through every high and low, and that is exactly what has happened. I will forever be…

    Refreshing my bathroom

    It has been about a month since we moved to our new home. It feels like a refreshing retreat! We sit out on the deck in the morning, drinking coffee, and enjoying the trees and the sound of birds and the fresh air. I feel so blessed. I wanted to extend that retreat feeling into…

  • Moving, moving, moving!

    Moving, moving, moving!

    Packing, moving, cleaning, painting, unpacking. Repeat. This has been my life since last December! First I helped my mom move from a four-bedroom house to a condo. That took about six months.

  • Baby (non)quilts

    Baby (non)quilts

    It’s true. I haven’t made quilts for my two future grandsons, due next month on March 4 and March 13. For that matter, I haven’t made quilts for my granddaughters either, who are nearly 3 and 5. Poor kids. But, I did manage to make some simple baby blankets for the new babies. Very simple.…

  • Time for a baby shower

    Time for a baby shower

    My blog has been quiet but I’ve been busy, busy! Since Christmas I spent loads of time helping my mother pack up her belongings and move from a big house to a condo. That left me sore and tired, I can tell you! But, thankfully, not too tired because during that same time period, I’ve…
