I'm Back!

-
Well, I'm back. The phone was all messed up and they fixed that and I ended up with the internet working as well, even though I wasn't supposed to have access to it until the 31st.

We still have some things in the old house but the majority of it is here. It was a stressful move but at least we are in.

Half of my kitchen is put together.

The other half is not!

Looky here, my husband actually has an office! In the old place, he studied in the bedroom.

He deserves it because he worked so hard. I know he's tired because he is always energetic but he's been complaining the past day or so that he's exhausted.

I love my new outdoor spot.

I told my friend, Stephanie that she needs to come and help me identify most of these flowers.

The kids love it here!

They enjoyed a movie in the new house.

We probably have about 3 or 4 car trips still at the old place. Now I just have the task of putting everything away and figuring out where I want everything.

I missed coming here and I'll have to catch up with everyone over the next few days.

    That kitchen is awesome!
    I'm not sure...but I think the purple flowers might be echinacea?

    Thank you ladies for your kind comments!

    Clare, that's one that I do know. The purple flowers are echinacea. I did find out there are a few rose bushes in there as well.

    Carol, yes, I would be honored to have you add my blog to your blog list. Thank you!

    Glad your back, Terri! I love the kitchen especially and your curtains match it so well. I really like your garden spot as well...a good place to have devotions when it's not too hot. I think the yellow flowers with the brown centers are Black-eyed Susans. At least, they look like Black-eyed Susans. The purple flowers are Echinacea also known as Purple Coneflowers.

    Tell Dan to take a couple of days off and get some rest. Moving is such a hard job.

    I'm glad the children like their new home and are adjusting.

Oh What to Do; I'm Sixty-Two!

Today is my sixty-second birthday and it's hard to believe I've achieved that....um....seasoned age! My first thought this morning was one of not being sure that I like it. However,  as I thought I about it, I decided to take joy in the fact that I've reached an older age. Because age comes with benefits. Benefit #1 - I'm a bit wiser.   When I look back at some of the decisions I made when I was younger, I cringe. With age has come the ability to slow down and think things through before I make major upheavals in my life. I've also discovered that getting worked up about certain things is just an absolute waste of emotional energy. Benefit #2 - I'm enjoying my life.   As I've aged I've learned all kinds of skills and hobbies and can honestly say that I'm never, ever bored. I love all the different things I'm able to do and it's fun! Benefit #3 - I've learned to appreciate my relationships. With age I've learned to work on developing a...

Eating to Live

  Despite the unexpected busyness and interruptions, I have been plugging away at my weight loss as well as writing the plant-based, whole food cookbook. Recipe testing fell by the wayside the past two weeks, but I've still gotten a good chunk of the book done. I also got on the scale this morning for another one pound loss which makes a total of 61 lbs. since I started this journey back in July. It's second nature at this point and I have so much more energy and feel healthy. The only negative is that because I've lost so much weight I'm seeing some sagging, crepe-papery skin happening. Yuck. Some of that is age and I need to figure out some toning exercises. It's definitely a life-style change, but a positive one which I'm so thankful I started on. The pictures above are a small selection of meals I've eaten the past two months and many of those will be included in the book.  This will be a printable e-book as I find that will be the easiest and most cost ...

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...
