In the Beginning....

Occasionally, my mind wanders back to when hubby and I got married. It really takes some reminiscing to go all the way back to before we had children; back to when we lived in a single-wide mobile home for 3 years. Yesterday evening, I thought of those two weeks before we said our vows. After our realtor failed us miserably by lying to us about the house we bid on in order to try to make a higher commission, we found ourselves facing homelessness unless we found something fast. We both hated the idea of apartment dwelling, hubby being a farm boy and me dying for at least a little yard to putter in. So, I went on a search for a mobile home in one of the local parks. I found this quaint park tucked away in a pine forest. It seemed quiet. The lots were decent sized. And there was this trailer for sale with a big shed, two decks and cabin-like wood siding. A phone call said it had 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. That sounded good, and the price was right. Financing could be do...

Books and Love

It was so nice, so sweet, so calming. While I was cooking dinner, hubby read to me. I love him so much! I've been diving into The Well-Trained Mind and loving it! This evening, I read Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit to my kiddos, a Bible bedtime story about Queen Esther, and my son and I looked for the mice in A Country Mouse in a Town House. I'm really enjoying books and sewing. I'm beginning to hope winter doesn't end too soon! As soon as the snow melts, it's yard work and gardening galore that leaves little time for these snug winter niceties.
