Relationships – Marriage, children, grandchildren, friendships.

I find that when life gets busy, there are things that get done hastily, causing disorganization or carelessness to step in. Here are a few areas that I took care of that might inspire you to freshen things up a bit on this Friday!
The deep freezer. In the rush of busy days, it’s easy to pull things or add things to the freezer, disturbing any previous order! I took the time to: Continue reading “Friday Refreshment”
Fun Things Friday – Anniversary Celebration
Yesterday we celebrated our 38th anniversary! We had the blessing of staying at a lovely lakeside cottage not far from home for two nights.
We slept in a little and then enjoyed a slow morning with coffee and breathtaking views – even on a rainy morning.
I fixed brunch for us consisting of French Toast with my sour dough bread, blueberries Continue reading “Fun Things Friday – Anniversary Celebration”
