Happy Thanksgiving Friday! If you are an American, I hope you are having a lovely holiday weekend. We are still planning on making our Thanksgiving meal this weekend when Caroline feels more like enjoying it. Other than that, it’s a quiet weekend around our home with puttering and making the most of the days. This …

Happy last weekend of October! I hope you’ve had an enjoyable autumn and were able to make some good memories. I’m so thankful we did our apple orchard outing when we did because Caroline has been sick off and on since then. We’ve had spectacular color this year. I wish we had been able to …

Happy Friday! I hope you had a good week. Ours was good overall. The autumn colors have simply exploded this week. We took a drive yesterday and saw so much gorgeous scenery. It is definitely a great year for the trees. This is not always the case so it’s always such a blessing when the …

So here’s my week. We were sick. We nursed our colds. It’s now Friday. To add a bit more detail, Caroline ended up with an ear infection. She is doing better now that she’s been on antibiotics a few days. And this is much better than the walking pneumonia she had last year at this …

Happy Wednesday that feels like a Tuesday! I hope you had a good Memorial Day weekend. Ours was spent quietly at home. We worked and did small things around the house. We finally purchased a flag bunting for the front of the house. We’ve been talking about it for years and picked up one while …

Happy Monday Morning! I hope you had a good weekend during these waning days of summer. The sunlight has definitely changed in the past week or so. The backyard shadows are coming earlier each afternoon and it’s not nearly as light when we have breakfast. We lit the window candles for the first time Saturday …

Happy Monday! I hope you and yours are well and happy today. We’re hanging in there. Thank you to those who said they were praying for us after my request for prayers last week. To be perfectly honest, I didn’t accomplish anything on my list last week. I was busy all week from sun up …

Happy Monday! I’m writing this morning from my new home office. I say “new” because I’m in here all by myself. David and I have shared an office since the summer I was pregnant with Caroline. At that time in our previous home, David’s office became her bedroom and we’ve shared a small bedroom as …

So we all made it through the first official week of adjusting to the new coronavirus world. Last week was so surreal in some ways I never even updated my weekly checklist in my planner which I do religiously each week. Nothing. I had a few things to work on and that was what I …
