Flowers Soothe the Soul…


We’ve had some pretty weird weather here in northern Minnesota…

It seems as though my flowers are as confused as we are.

Not that I’m complaining – you see it has somehow made my tulips so confused that they’ve been blooming for almost two weeks!

Sunday Blessings…


I admit it, I’m too tired to write a full post tonight.

Instead, I’m sharing my favorite blessing which is sung by our beautiful choir at the end of our church service.

(yes, I quietly sing along)

I hope this brings you into a wonderful week!

May the Lord bless you and keep you.

May the Lord make his face to shine upon you,
and be gracious to you.

May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
and give you peace.

Have I told you how proud I am of my hubby yet?

You see, he’s really rather quiet and unassuming…and does NOT accept praise well at all! Β Which of course makes me want to give him his just rewards even more…

This man,

This sweet, gentle, quiet man…

This man that LOVES math like no one else I’ve ever seen…

Has just finished his 20th year of teaching! Read more

Worst Sports Mom EVER…


Let me raise my hand and confess…

I AM THE WORST SPORTS MOM EVER.

I must be, there really can be no question about it.

As we watched Gabi’s baseball game tonight this truth hit me full force as I realized the following facts: Read more
