  • The Memory of a Sound

    I recently purchased this magazine. I say recently, but it was way back in 2010. I have no idea why I would purchase a magazine called Do it yourself, since I don’t do anything myself.  There must have been something that caught my eye on the cover, but now…..who knows? This is one of those… Read more

  • Would you ever do this?

    I’ve acquired new learning.  And anytime I have new learning, I must share it.  It’s just something about me.  Maybe that’s why I teach.  I want everyone to have the same knowledge I have, regardless how inane, unimportant, or disturbing it might be.  And I repeat disturbing. Today’s new tidbit may fall in one or more of the… Read more

  • Pie-an-er

    I took pie-an-er lessons when I was just a girl.  I don’t know how many years I took, or what level I made it to.  Let’s just say I ain’t no Chopin. Or Liberace. Or Elton John. Or even Schroeder. My first teacher was a sweet, soft-spoken Baptist whose home smelled of freshly brewed coffee, who… Read more

  • Breaking Ice

    I have a new BFF today. He’s my good pal. My buddy. My friend. He’s a little furry. And maybe a little smelly. But I don’t mind at all.  Especially today, when he doesn’t see his shadow. I’m ready for an early spring. Here’s some pictures of our world. Yesterday it was 5° at 5:30… Read more

  • Wicked wind

    The weather today is no joke. I went with J-dub to go feed a little. We came upon a herd of yearlings huddled around a water tank attempting to drink from the frozen tank. J-dub grabbed an ax and began chopping ice. I got out to snap a couple of pics and before I knew… Read more

  • Okay guys, I recently joined up on an online Bible Study group via Facebook.  There are some awesome godly ladies in this group and I’m excited about being a part of it.  I have already been blessed and looking forward to future blessings.  Part of the accountability of the Bible Study involves posting a SOAP.  Instead… Read more

  • Got No Power Windows

    Let me tell you about my yesterday. We had to do some work on the chicken coop, so I needed my new, old truck to help haul some old wood for me.  We tore down one side of the chicken coop that was just crappy old particle board hammered together. We’re replacing it with some rustic looking… Read more

  • A Special Lady

    Today, in just a few short hours, my family will be celebrating my grandmother’s 93rd birthday over in Tahlequah, Oklahoma.  I couldn’t  be there, but wanted to send her some happy birthday wishes. {sending happy birthday wishes now} Isn’t she beautiful?   Her name is Mattie Dimple Calico.  If that isn’t the best name in the world,… Read more

  • Before and After #2

    We’ve been diligently working away on our little trailer house on the prairie.   Several months ago, I showed you our first before and after, and now, several months later,  I have another.  It’s a slow process. Although the place we bought and are working on is a D-U-M-P, it does have some good qualities. Like the wonderful… Read more

  • A Chicken Story

    I live in my own little world, and it’s safe here.  But occasionally something will happen that rocks my little world, and I’m reminded of the ugliness on this third rock from the sun. We have some friends who recently bought some chickens.  They didn’t order baby chicks through the mail, but instead went to a nearby… Read more
