While I was in Florida helping my parents, I was able to get some work done, but not necessarily work that you would see. I did get the blog posts, a couple of podcasts and videos done but I also got a few of Kinzie’s sports videos edited and to family members. Although I am

My visit to Florida has had its shares of ups and downs. My parents are exceptionally stubborn and independent. Dad’s recent health set-back has made it perfectly clear what they have diligently ignored… they really just can’t live alone any more. I have been here providing support for them for a couple of weeks and

I am about to embark on an unexpected detour in life for the next two weeks. I suppose the timing was unexpected but the detour itself is not. Both of my parents are 81 years old, both have had strokes and Dad has suffered several health setbacks over the years. I believe they are beginning
It truly has been a rainy week, and I’m glad. It has rained five of the last six days for a total of 2.65 inches. Most of them were not storms, certainly not the kind of storms that causes damage anyway. My dogs are not big fans regardless. With the recent fireworks and occasional thunder
This week, life was much more normal after all the storms. That doesn’t mean that things didn’t happen around here! Any time there animals in the mix, something interesting is bound to happen.

For four days last week, my granddaughter, Kinzie and I, worked the kids camp at our church. It’s four days of chaos being skillfully guided by seasoned volunteers who know how to handle the children. I believe the grades are third through sixth with others who belong to the volunteers. Kinzie bravely spent all her
The first half of the week seemed to be pretty slow news wise, but picked up toward the end of the week. I candled the duck eggs and ended up pulling two more, leaving 24 to finish incubating. I harvest some peas from the garden and was pretty excited about it because I had never
Piglet Gets a New Home Read More »
The piglets have been darling and I spend several minutes a day out in the pen just observing and enjoying the antics of Wattles nine piglets. Even though aspects of having pigs on the farm have been stressful, these cuties have lightened my heart tremendously. But, this week, I have more new babies. I now
