Not really "pilgrim" based... but we LOVE the story, and with us studying Ellis Island, and the Statue of Liberty... I thought it fitting to get them back on the shelf: Balloons over Broadway : the true story of the puppeteer of Macy's Parade / written and illustrated by Melissa Sweet Thanksgiving parade / written by Jodi Huelin (for toddlers) Careful... It could lead you on a "wild" walk through a modern Thanksgiving Tradition! Thank you, Elizabeth. I am looking forward to putting a lot of the titles above on my library cue!

To the only person who makes me cry the good cry: Thank you! You say everything that this mind, my mind, cannot articulate. It is so hard to see the strong become weak... no matter the age. All I can say... HUG HIM! LOVE HIM! Many blessings to you and your entire family!

I have moved...

Type pad has just become a headache. Sometime ago, I would type my words into this space... I would go to add pictures... POOF... It would all disappear into the "cyber" abyss. It has been very frustrating. So... I have settled down on Blogger. If you have time please see... Continue reading

Nexus 7 vs. Ipad...

I have never been one to look down on anyone. I ask for kindness... but even if not I still smile (most of the time.) Yesterday, I had someone say something to me that got me thinking. I was trying to get the hang of this new nexus my husband... Continue reading

A day in the life

You wake up, the day starts. There is coffee to make... maybe, I will get a little computer time? Maybe... not... There is nothing like smiles in the morning from sleepy girls. Oh, and boys... but they do not wake up as early. I love :-) those little snuggles. I... Continue reading

What a lovely day to sit down and enjoy tea. The table was set and the friends were there to enjoy conversation and a round of croquet. I had never been to a tea. Putting it on was an adventure. So many details. My husband was wonderful through the whole... Continue reading

Last year I was offended deeply by an act of innocence. I never brought it to attention... It was not intentional. For almost a year I have dug deep to know why. Why did this affect me so deeply. I think I have uncovered the root. Sometimes, our selfishness gets... Continue reading

Have you ever felt lost? Like you do not know which direction you are going. I feel like that most of the time. I am not sure what is going on, where this life is leading me, why I am doing what I am doing. I just continue on ...... Continue reading

I or Me? That is the question.

Have you ever really pondered when to use I or me? I used to think "I" was always used when you were talking about yourself and another person. How selfish... How lazy... How ignorant? My favorite quote is from a very wise man. "Stupidity is also a gift from God,... Continue reading

Mommy, can you read this to me?

I have to say... I love when my girls come to me and ask that question. I cannot tell you how often it happens. I can tell you it is multiple times a day. It is so sweet to sit with them and read a tale. Sending them to another... Continue reading

Why am I so terrible at putting a post together? Why is it I do not have enough energy to compose my thoughts and get them on a screen? Some might say that it has to do with this: I think it has to do with the health of my... Continue reading
