No grudging

“Practice hospitality to one another without grudging.” (I Peter 4:9) I just had an amazing weekend!  Two of my children came home from college, the weather was beautiful and I got to practice hospitality to over 55 people in our home!

No Tricks….just TREATS!

CheriGENERAL

It was a TREAT tonight to meet the newest member of our neighborhood . . . “Coby” is 5 months old, 55 lbs, and a rescued Burnese Mountain Dog. Which, if you remember from this post is one of my favorite dogs. When I take care of the horses next summer, we get to take care … Read More

This is just wrong.  But it is very real. I’m trying to remember why I moved here.

“Old School”

CheriGENERAL

Ryan at “This Is REVERB” asked readers to post something “old school” on our blogs.  He claims it is like “salve for the soul”.  I recently posted some (embarrassing) old school stuff here from my high school years, and even some of drummer boy’s old school (literally) stuff here. It’s hard to read, but the date on … Read More
