This past week, the kiddos came to stay for a few days. During that time we celebrated Thanksgiving together, launched a very successful surprise birthday party for Matt and had family pictures taken by our in-house photographic genius, Danielle. We were not disappointed on any level with the joy we felt as we got together [...]

Today, I heard from a friend that she had found her diamond earrings. She was elated and rightly so–they’d been missing for a long, long time! In her words, “That’s what happens when you clean out drawers you haven’t touched in years.” I know what she means. Having moved recently, I’ve had the opportunity to “find” things [...]

It’s been so long since my last blog entry that I wouldn’t blame people if they never visited my site again. I’m sorry people, I’ve been mondo busy with the move-in and work, so that I have not found the time to write much lately. I’m hoping that changes soon and we can get internet [...]

On Tuesday, September 15, 2009 the crane arrived to set our modular home on its foundation. What a thrill for us to see this work done. Below, are some shots of the work in progress. I hope you’ll enjoy seeing these as much as we enjoyed capturing them on film.
The crew arrived at 8:00am and immediately [...]

A couple of weekends back, Matt and I went to Rochester to help Megan and BJ paint their dining room and archway. BJ, Megan and Matt painted, while I watched the babe. What fun it was. The paint is a creamy orange concoction that Megan and her dad mixed themselves. She calls it pumpkin mousse, [...]

Dennis, from Butters Homes, called this morning to tell me that half of our house is being delivered TODAY! Can you believe it? The other half to arrive Monday, August 31st. Very psyched today. PTL!
As you’ve probably heard, ground has been broken on the other side of the yard at the [...]

Not too many weeks hence, my nephew, Derek Trout, graduated from college. He’s since moved to Kentucky, to attend Asbury Theological Seminary. I’m just so darn proud of him.
Here are a few pictures of the graduate to enjoy.
Derek, with his beautiful bride, Jessica, poses for the camera. I’m betting cousin, Matt, is behind the scenes [...]

Good morning, Troops!
Your sister in combat is posting this message from the front. The front of the lawn, that is. Months ago we began the battle for a new home, most recently taking our encampment from one side of the lawn to the other. Since the relocation, Bob and I have gone on vacation in Maine and returned, only to [...]

11:38am today, I’m on lunch, but my mind is still at the office. I pull into BK’s parking lot and multi-tasking, per usual, I grab the current crazy book I’m reading in snip and snaps between life, and I exit the car, thinking the whole time that I have tons of paperwork in the back seat [...]
