Monday Nate got his braces off. To toot his horn a bit… he was released an entire year early because of great hygiene and the use of a new kind of appliance called Damon Braces. Dillon had them too and he was released 6 months early. Nathan’s work was more extensive than Dillon’s so the both did very well! We… Read more →
Such a glorious morning, the kids and Daddy Jack are all in bed. I have vision of pie making dancing in my head. Our Mystery Guest, Raccoon Girl/Boy just rumbled by my window on its way to bed…wherever that is. Fresh from terrorizing the ducks in their little duck house I am guessing. The chicken for today’s chicken soup is… Read more →

The Dutch Elm ( Elder) Tree we planted to mark the end of the book series is glowing red when the sun hits it. I walk closer. Is it a trick of the… Read more →

She seemed attached to her current situation and I hoped she would stay there for her sake. As it turned out later she did need a new place and Nathan being the sort… Read more →

Golden Butter Cake with Chocolate and Milk Chocolate Butter Cream Frosting! Weeee! This time around we decided to light the Happy Birthday Candles.

Everything else gets picked up and sweet talked. He is great at gardening too. He let me document a little of it when we transplanted this puffball… Read more →
We took advantage of great weather to rip all the dead morning glory vines from the Don Juan Rose Bush.

Something it should be too soon for. The smaller … Read more →
