Another very full day and a question for you...

Today whizzed by so fast. I got up at 5:45 a.m. because I needed a shower. Then I spent a few minutes with my husband over coffee. I should have left at 6:30 when my alarm went off, because I didn't get to work till 7:00, which is a bit too late nowadays. I made the mistake of trying to clean each exam room separately to see if it was faster. It wasn't. Assembly line cleaning is much faster. I get bored, so I do it different some days. It's taking 2 hours now, instead of 1 1/2. When I got home... Sign in to see full entry.

Back again

It is really hard for me to write when I've been away for a few days. Maybe it's better that way as I will leave out some trivial details. Hopefully it will help me to focus on the more important things. I've been busy, as usual, but enjoying a lot of family time and that is good. Last night our family watched an animated DVD made by "Voice of the Martyrs" called Perpetua. It was about a young girl in around AD 203 who became a Christian and then she was martyred for her faith, being thrown in... Sign in to see full entry.

Birthday time again

Today is my eldest son's 27th birthday! My daughter-in-law made spaghetti for lunch and bought a cake ice cream too. I was going to make a pumpkin pie, but when you make it from scratch it takes all day. So, the pies will have to wait till tomorrow. I cooked a large pumpkin in my roaster. I am guessing it will make between 5-10 pies. I need to make one with rice milk, as Gideon isn't drinking milk because it congests him. I don't know how it will turn out. I guess I will find out. It was raining... Sign in to see full entry.

A rainy day

Today was a rainy cold day. I'm glad we live in a semi-arid climate normally, that way, when it does rain I enjoy it. Another great day, busy as usual. Errands and grocery shopping and bank deposits. Tonight my grandson warmed up to me a little more. First we shook hands, then I held him. He is a little insecure from traveling, so he's pretty attached to his mom and dad. It's still hard to believe I am a "grandma", but I'm starting to like it more and more. In the motor home I can hear the rain... Sign in to see full entry.

I had a great day!

Time seems to be something I do not have a lot of extra right now. I do have a few minutes to write, before I have other things I need to do, one of them being spending time with my husband. He just got off work and is in the shower. Home schooling is going ok so far. The children are being very diligent, but I struggle with time to go over all they've been doing. I am still very impressed at the Algebra 1 program I bought and I'm doing it along with them. It feels so good to understand it. I... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

I plan on writing about past and present life experiences and what I have learned from them. I also want to tell stories of things in my past, some humourus, some serious and some trivial. I have done some traveling and want to describe those places and people accurately, maybe in some cases changing names if I see it could embarrass someone. I will write out of my heart and hopefully give hope to some of my readers. I do not have all the answers, but have lived long enough to know there are many trials in life and obstacles. I want to examine life, it's simplicities and complexities and share my observation and at times opinions with others.
