Monday Afternoon

-
Yesterday was a down sort of day. Mondays tend to be like that after the busyness of Sunday but I didn't feel well at all either. So after school was over, I sent the kids outside and I went myself to try and get some fresh air. It didn't help me feel better but the kids enjoyed themselves.

I realize that I've had a lot of outdoor pictures lately. To be honest, we are developing cabin fever so we are living outdoors as much as possible.

Emily & I walked up through the woods.

I have lived here for 4 years and had no idea at the top of the woods I would come upon this! I've never gone all the way to the top. Beautiful views.

The creek has receded.

Aren't they silly?

Later on Emily played chess with Dan.

Overall, it was a quiet day. I still have a major headache this morning so I'm hoping today goes better.

    Hey Terri! I hope you feel better today. I love that picture of daddy and daughter playing chess. Jacob and George love to play checkers and Jacob is getting really good and has beat his daddy a few times! LOL

    Thank you Michelle. Dan is so good with the children. He is always playing games and spending time with them. It's definitely a blessing!

    Terri, I hope you are feeling better today! Fresh air is always good for you and the exercise is too even if it doesn't take away the headache.

    Thanks for visiting my blog--I left a comment there for you but forgot to put your name on it and then had to leave another one to let you know that it was for you. I'm still learning the ropes.

    I kind of feel like a dope--I was going to say Nerd but that doesn't really apply because Nerds usually know all the ins and outs of computers--so I guess dope will have to do!

    I always enjoy your scenery pictures so don't stop using them and of course, I'm partial to the kids pictures! Love Mom

    Don't get discouraged, Mom. It takes time to learn it.

When the Unexpected Pops Up

On Thursday afternoon, just as Dan and I were getting ready to leave for a meeting, we received a phone call from our son. He was sitting on the side of the road with a blown engine in his car. The problem is he lives 3 1/2 hours away. After back and forth phone calls he called a tow truck and got it towed to a garage. He ended up renting a car and headed here for the holiday. We've been working with him to figure out his next steps because he still owes thousands of dollars on the car which will also take a significant amount to replace the engine. His rent is going up in the new year. His seasonal job ended and he is trying to find something else, but needs a car for that to happen. His car still has not been looked at by the mechanic. It is all more than a little overwhelming. Long story short, we extended an invitation for him to live here temporarily so he can get out from under all of this. It would save him money on expensive rent and utilities.  The timing was right since h...

A Mindful Year

This year has been strange to say the least, and has not gone exactly the way I expected. A good chunk of the first part of 2025 was spent helping with my in-laws before my mother-in-law passed away the day after Easter. And as we are entering into the last part of 2025 I think the word, mindful, is an accurate description of how the year as gone so far. In fact, I was browsing in a local book store and found this book entited, A Mindful Year. It is a journal of daily writing prompts and I just started it the other day.  I've worked at being intentional in many of the areas of my life and I think "mindful" is a good word to use.  I've been mindful in taking time to pray, read, and hear what God is saying to me.  I've been mindful in getting in many days of exercise each week, especially getting out and walking and enjoying the sights and sounds of nature. I've been intentional with family and taking time for them. I've been mindful in my other relationship...

Paper Crafting Wednesday

Kelli hosts this each week and I always enjoy the opportunity to sit down and make some cards. For those of you who have noticed an abundance of crafty posts on cards, I do have some sewing projects in the works and I'll share some of them soon! I wasn't thrilled with any of these cards this week. I really need to get some more supplies but I'm trying to use what I have first. I really feel like this one needs a ribbon or something. Anyway, I was not feeling particularly inspired last night but thought I'd share them anyway.
