8 Pictures
Sharing my most recent posts to Instagram… Miss Cookie decided to hang out in my office one morning. Bright dandelion cuddled up against the front porch step. Orange juice over crushed ice on the front porch during morning quiet time. Recipe for “Summer Night” posted at the Maverik station… I had to give it a try. And I liked it!…

Community Garden
A few weeks ago I was perusing the list of parks on our city’s website. One that caught my eye was the Community Garden. We have a Community Garden? Cool! I wonder where it is? Right next to the Parks & Rec building, you say? Why, that’s just across the street. I had noticed the pretty landscaping before, but I…

National Forest Day Trip
We don’t currently have a trailer, so we haven’t been doing much camping lately. Maybe we’ll be able to get one by next summer. However, the next best thing is a day trip to the mountains. One of our favorite weekend activities, if you hadn’t noticed, is to head out on a Sunday afternoon drive. This past weekend we chose…

One Sentence a Day – May
The “One Sentence a Day” meme is an idea I got from my friend, Sheila, at Making the Most of Every Day. She and several others had a link-up last month and will be doing another on June 2. I wanted to go ahead and post mine for May now, since it’s been several weeks since I blogged. Sunday. May…

Change
When you do a thing for years it becomes hard to imagine ever not doing that thing. Today was my last day of work with Sonlight Curriculum. For the first time in over 16 years I am not employed by or under contract to Sonlight. I’m having a hard time wrapping my mind around that idea. I’m at peace with…

A New Chapter
Life is always an adventure. Just when I think I have everything figured out, I realize I don’t. But that’s okay. I’m happy to let God be the boss. After almost 2-and-a-half years in the Denver metro area, we sense God leading us back to Idaho. There are many things we don’t understand. We have had some great experiences here…

Along the Way
This past weekend Lyle and I made a quick trip to Kansas. And while I consider that drive (between Denver and Wichita) to be one of the most unscenic areas of the country, we did manage to find a few interesting things along the way.On Saturday afternoon my niece, Kendra, and two of her children went for a walk down Main…

Spring Blizzard
We’ve been enjoying lovely spring weather. It was such a pretty day on Tuesday–with temps in the low 70s–that I decided to eat my lunch on the deck. Rebecca fixed me a grilled-cheese sandwich. “Don’t you want to take a picture of your lunch, Mom?” she asked. Of course I did. That was Tuesday. On Wednesday morning when I got…

Recent Road Trip #2
When we were in Kansas in December Lyle’s brother and niece told him they wished he was available to help with a building project they are working on for their print shop. They have purchased a new building and plan to move their business later this year. They were needing help with planning the layout, which is something Lyle is…
