School Days

Tonight we’re watching more “America’s Got Talent”. I know…addicted, it’s true. It’s just too much fun! We got to talk to Bria and Emmy tonight…they are SO PUMPED about starting school tomorrow. It’s really fun to hear them go on and on! Tre and Tru started last week and are doing great! Tru is really […]

Change

Even thinking about change can be a scary thing. You think you’re all ready…MORE than ready…then you feel your knees knock when you start to take steps. Some things just change all on their own…your kids grow up, you get older (and better!), seasons pass, life cycles. It’s the changes that you choose to make […]

Century Farm

Today was a complete change of pace. I went to the Iowa State Fair with my sister, and we were presented with the recognition of Mom’s farm becoming a century farm. We didn’t do much else while we were there, but it was a nice day with my sister. The traffic was crazy, but at […]

Is a Change Coming?

It’s been kind of a fun, lazy Saturday. This morning was rainy and dark with just a little thunder–YAY!!! I did get some laundry, errands, and cleaning done, but I also went to the library (we still have one…I almost forgot!) and got a new wallet. If you know me, and you do, you know […]

Some Inspiration

I’m starting preps for the weekend…making lists, more lists, and a pile or two. We’re excited to go!! America’s Got Talent is on again tonight…YAY!!! It even got nice enough outside to go for a short walk tonight. I’m needing some inspiration…some good reading will probably do. It must be time to dig through the […]

Tomorrow is my day to take my mom out for lunch…ARRGGHHH! I can be pretty good most of the time, but eating out blows everything, […]
