A soul that walks on water leaves no footprints, but will make waves."
I did manage to accomplish a small project yesterday. I posted it on my Girls In Stitches site and I’m quite pleased. The only missing component on this wall hanging organizer is a way to hang it. I am thinking I can just stitch little loops on the ba…
On Tuesday night we had put the boys to bed and all was well until we heard Aron let out a blood curdling scream. I ran upstairs expecting to comfort a bad dream or something but as I got to his crib I smelled something and it clicked in my mind what it…
We’ve been marching along in hopes of pounding out some great times among the wiles and woes of the world. Existence is not all we are offered and I’m making good on my share in the joy bin.

Well, I posted Mattie Kate. She looks pretty lonely there, but we’ll make her some friends or maybe someone will wish to give her a home elsewhere. I am sort of having doubts about that though.

Some of you may remember me posting this little challenge last year. I have been horrible about keeping my promises. Well, not horrible, but frightfully slow. Yesterday, I mailed off two of the three promised items. My promise was to have it to them…
It’s been a busy day. We started out early so that we could get Kris to the airport before we took Owen to school. As I’m getting the boys dressed Kris yelled up the stairs to tell me that there is ice on The Stones River Bridge on I-40 and traffic is…
