This is a frequent topic of conversation around here. The girls want to know what this was like when we were young or what that was like…. inquisitive little minds that they are. And as you know … times are a’changing in this world of ours. Having cellular service every where you go and the [...]

I was downloading some pictures this morning and found this one (and a bunch of others like it) on my camera. Not a single one of them are clear images (they’re all fuzzy-wuzzy) probably because my little Luby was trying to sneak the shots without waking these girls up. The dogs are NOT allowed on [...]

In an effort to overlook my earlier plea for prayer until the point at which I can clearly discuss WHAT the heck is up around here… I’ve decided to focus on the silver linings of the week.

My husband and I are together, out of town, with our girls this weekend. He is attending a continuing [...]
