Every week I see this road when I go to church. Something about the power lines and poles they resemble crosses – lining the road to the church DIY Guy asked me why I was in such a good mood lately — I had already been pondering that myself. My explanation is that the … Read More
The reveal

My Prayer

Jean had surgery on Friday, and was getting up to take that first walk after surgery late yesterday afternoon when a blood clot raced to her heart and took her life. I … Read More
A good attitude
We really didn’t plan for this to happen, but it did. Although we laughed and joked during our girl’s ordeal on the bridge, we all felt sorry that this happened.

Nesting
While eating dinner tonight I couldn’t help but notice a great deal of activity happening near the pine trees on the edge of our yard. It seemed as if rabbits were appearing out of nowhere – popping their heads up from some brush, then running off. I think I counted this happening 5 times. DIY … Read More
