Tuesday, October 08, 2013. What I Read in September - "Required" Reading. The book club I'm in chose to read "One Glorious Ambition". In each state, she met with the officials and in many cases, convinced them that a facility for "the least of these" was a necessity. She met with many setbacks along the way and also battled severe illness throughout. I admire her vision and her absolute focus on relieving the suffering of so many. I laughed and I cried and I didn't want it to end. It also led to grea...

LifeofRileys: Summer 2013 -- Week One
http://lifeofrileys-co.blogspot.com/2013/06/summer-2013-week-one.html
Monday, June 03, 2013. Summer 2013 - Week One. We enjoyed looking back at what our summer was like last year, so I thought I'd try to do a weekly recap again this year. May 27 - June 2. We always finish with school by Memorial Day so that begins our official summer. This year we visited a couple new parks and had a picnic lunch. Conner wasn't able to be with us for Memorial Day, but came home on Tuesday. Later in the week, we celebrated Liam's birthday. TWO! BIG ball was a gift from a brother.

LifeofRileys: August 2012

Wednesday, August 29, 2012. Summer - Week 13. August 20 - August 26. I'm still calling this a summer post, although some of our fall activities started up this week. So it was kind of a half and half week. Aiden had his first Cub Scouts meeting of the year, which was really just a kick-off for popcorn sales. They don't charge dues in his troop, so they make a big push at popcorn time to cover the troop's expenses for the year. Fundraising is NOT my favorite thing to do. Aiden is beginning 4th grade.

Linchpin- something that holds the various elements of a complicated structure together. Saturday, September 26, 2009. WE had Betsy’s Burritos last night for dinner. They were delicious. You won’t find a recipe for Betsy’s Burritos unless you ask Betsy herself. Betsy Burritos were made for my family by my dear friend Betsy during the week right after my step-dad passed away. Later, they were to become a favorite of all of ours because of the love that went into them. She did not force us to restrain Prin...

Linchpin- something that holds the various elements of a complicated structure together. Saturday, February 20, 2010. Every time my world starts to mend,. My heart gets broken once again. Every time things seem alright. I allow in love and let go of the fight. How many times can a heart take a cut. And bleed out profusely before you give up? How deep can a person sink down to despair. Before it's too much, thinking life’s too unfair. Why, oh God Why did I open my heart? And my world will begin to mend.

Linchpin- something that holds the various elements of a complicated structure together. Sunday, October 12, 2008. I haven't cooked much all week then I guess I got motivated and cooked 8 meals in the past two days. My friend Jenn motivated me when I went over to her house and her freezer was full of meals. Chicken was on sale and so I just bought a whole bunch, grabbed a book on tape and camped out in the kitchen with my recipes from " Don't Panic it is in the Refrigerator". And " Once a month cooking.

Sunday, February 17, 2013. Our 2nd son, Chase, turned 16 on February 4th. He wants to take a few friends to either paintball or bowling, but we haven't fully worked out the dates and details, so that will be later this month. On his actual birthday, he wanted me to make homemade biscuits and gravy for breakfast. Only I don't do gravy. I do not have the patience for it. So he made his own. :) Hey, I did make the biscuits from scratch, though. He ordered the Lamb Masala and Scott had Chicken Masala. I'm re...

LifeofRileys: July 2012

Sunday, July 29, 2012. Summer 2012 - Week 9. July 23 - July 29. We are starting to work our way more quickly down our summer list. In June, there always seems to be so much time. By the end of July, not so much. One of the things we had on the list this year was tie-dye. So I bought some t-shirts on sale at Hobby Lobby and we got busy. They did a great job, but somehow I only got a picture of one finished product. This is Declan's:. One evening after dinner, we headed to a local park. Summer 2012 - Week 8.
