Today I’m linking up with Erika and Shay for this month’s Let’s Look post. During last weekend, I wasn’t thinking about the fact that it was going to be the topic for a blog post. So I’ve been having to think back and remember what I did all weekend long. And I did take some pictures, but not as many as I would have if I’d remembered I should be documenting it. It was a pretty great weekend, though, so I’m happy to be writing about it. 😄 Read more
April Favorites! 2020

I am amazed that April went by as fast as it did! That probably would not have been the case if my daughter Cara, her husband Paul, and my two granddaughters Helen and Edie weren’t staying with us during this period of stay-at-home. And speaking of that, every one of my favorites this month centers around activities with family. Read more
Book Talk: Jan. – March 2020

I read seven books during the first three months of this year. Five were fiction, one was a memoir, and one was a Bible study. Here are my thoughts on each one. Read more

Let’s Look Inside My Purse!
I’m linking up with Erika and Shay today for their monthly “Let’s Look” series. Obviously, we’re looking inside our purses. When it comes to purses, I’m not one to spend a lot of money. I also don’t change out my purse very often. For that reason, I usually go for a neutral color. It’s not unusual for me to employ the same purse for years at a time. You got that right…YEARS.

March Favorites! 2020
March 2020 was definitely a topsy-turvy month to say the least! The vast majority of people are living restricted and facing uncertainty. So many are dealing with illness, whether battling it personally or on the front line helping those infected. Yet even in times like these we can find things for which to be grateful. So, yes, I’m still posting my monthly favorites in which I focus on people and things that have brought me joy throughout the month. Today is April 1st (uh-oh…April Fool’s Day), so it’s time to look back at March. Read more
Memory Lane Monday – March 23, 2020
This is a very different Memory Lane Monday post. It consists of a succession of memories, starting from a few years ago up to very recently. Together the memories tell the story of our family’s situation today. Ready? Read more
February Favorites! 2020

Holy cow! We’re already one week into March, and I haven’t even posted my February Favorites yet! Now that Old Man Winter has made his exit, the days are passing more quickly again. I need to highlight my favorites from last month before it’s time to look back on THIS month! Read more
Memory Lane Monday – Feb. 24, 2020

I usually post my Memory Lane Monday post on the third Monday of the month, but last Monday I worked in the vegetable garden all day. The weather was gorgeous, and I needed to get my sugar snap peas planted. By the time I was done, I was too pooped and achy to focus on writing my post. A memory was on my mind that day that I wanted to write about, though, so I just saved it until this Monday. I think it’s kind of a fun one, too! Read more
