Ramblings…Stream of Consciousness

May 30, 2008

I’m sitting in the library staring at a blank page. I don’t exactly have writer’s block; but, nothing is coming easily to my mind this morning. I’m going to do a little stream of consciousness writing like we did in college. Have you ever done that? It’s just writing whatever thoughts [...]

My Day Book

May 27, 2008

Outside my window… a light rain. It rained all night. Everything is so lush. I can see a bird flying about and the song of a few more.
I am thinking… I’ve got to get ready for that yard sale! I’m in more of a mess than I started with. There is just too much stuff [...]

Happily Ever After….

May 27, 2008

This is my Lowell. He’s the man whom I’ve been living my happily ever after with for the past 22 years. We have had good years and bad years, good months and bad months, good weeks and bad weeks, good days and bad days. We are committed until death do us part to live [...]

Together…Forever…No Matter What!

May 26, 2008

I saw this sign recently; and, I thought that it describes my marriage to Lowell perfectly.  On the 24th of May, we celebrated 22 years of marriage.  Prior to that, we “went steady” for four and a half years.  So, for the last 26 1/2 years, he’s been my man.  We were in high school [...]

New in My Shop!

May 22, 2008

Harvest Lane Cottage
I have a new handmade crocheted cotton dishcloth in my shop.
 
I’ve been busy making items to sell in my little cottage business. 
I just love hand crocheted dishcloths!
There’s just something so old fashioned and homey about them.
I offer these cloths in unbleached natural cotton as well.
I’ll add photos soon.
In the meantime, leave a comment [...]

Simple Devotion…The Word is Alive!

May 22, 2008

“Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and sympathetic?” Phil. 2:1

I think that having friends is one of God’s most loving ways of giving us encouragement. Friends can give a listening ear, a word of encouragement, an understanding nod, [...]

Cottage Remnant…Finding God’s Will

May 22, 2008

I invite you to visit a new blog I’ve found this morning.  It’s called Cottage Remnant.  I read her post about finding God’s Will for her life.  I thought it was insightful and thought that you might like to read it, also.
Enjoy!

Use it Up, Wear it Out, Make it Do, or Do Without…Scrapbooking

May 21, 2008

Hello Friends,
I’ve noticed lately that a couple of my friends are using the phrase, “I’m a user not a collector.”  Many of us who like to scrapbook, whether it be Creative Memories or an eclectic style, like to collect supplies.  There’s always a new set of paper that would be just right, a cute sheet [...]

Just Something to Think About…Possessions

May 19, 2008

“It is preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else, that prevents us from living freely and nobly.”  ~Thoreau
How true!
I watch one television show weekly, Extreme Makeover, Home Edition.  Last night they did a two hour special In New Orleans.  They built a house and a church.  They also showed pictures of the widespread devastation that still calls [...]
