What a wonderful weekend we had!!! Kelli and the girls arrived Thursday afternoon, Tabbi and the boys came over Thursday evening, and Jon came from Muscatine later Thursday night. We spent Friday together celebrating Tru’s 7TH BIRTHDAY!!!! The kids had a great time playing together, and we took them to the pool for a couple […]
Timely Pursuit
Time is such a precious commodityin my daily life. When I plan outwhat I need to accomplish in a day,there never seems to be enough.Yet I find myself frittering away whatseems to be vast amounts of it anyway.And it seems that the things I careabout the most get sacrificed in theface of either the urgent, […]
Bad News
It’s been over a week since the earthquake in Japan. Yesterday we started air strikes in Libya. This week our friend Pat received bad news about her health. Yesterday a young man in line school fell from the top of a 35′ pole and died. He left behind an expecting wife and two children. So […]
Sidewalk Prophets–You Love Me Anyway
I heard this song for the first time today, and it really hit me. Hope you like it! I’m thinking about taking down my website and just posting anything new on here. Any input?? It’s not expensive to keep the website, but it’s not free either. I hesitate because I will lose the rights to […]
Senior Discount
It’s great to be 55!!! I went to Hy-Vee yesterday and got 15% senior discount on my entire purchase (every Wednesday). Then today I was at Pamida and asked the checker if they didn’t have a certain day that they gave a senior discount. She said, “Yes, on Thursday. But it’s every other Thursday, and […]
Productivity

Psalm 77
Our entryway is textured and will soon be painted. Bruce will come back on Monday to start on the bathroom. Feels SO good to see some progress. I have a big change at work…our biggest account was bought out by another company. Working with them requires a lot more data entry than it did before. […]
Babysitting
Our contractor came Friday and the plan is to start our bathroom remodel around Thursday. Lots of stuff to clear out by then. On Saturday we went to Megan and Greg’s and got to babysit with Oz for the evening. We hung out there today till around 5:00. Jon did some electrical work, and we […]
Sinuses
We can now see our garage doors! That’s the only change on the outside, but there is progress inside. The entryway is drywalled and still being mudded. We’ve also started dismantling the bathroom, and Bruce will be back to do that job when we’re ready. Now both Jon and I are on antibiotics for sinus […]
Sunday
I got inspired by the construction today and did some work in my cupboards…one of my favorite things 🙂 I bought some racks and first stacked some of the stuff under my sink. Then I used a rack to reorganize my china and used a couple more to reorganize my corner cupboard. I cleared an […]
