Notes from home: April 2011
http://holly-notesfromhome.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Telling The Story, one day at a time . . . Tuesday, April 26, 2011. After Easter . . . Easter Sunday is over, but the joy of it lightens up these drippy spring days. It’s easy to look out the window, sigh, and wish for sunshine. It’s not so easy to remember that change takes time, and this year, spring is certainly taking its time getting here. Labels: after Easter Sunday. Friday, April 22, 2011. Good Friday, 2011. O sacred Head, now wounded, with grief and shame weighed down,. Lo, here I fall, my Savior!

Notes from home: January 2011

Telling The Story, one day at a time . . . Friday, January 7, 2011. Catalog Illustration - Me? Yesterday's mail brought the first gardening catalog of the season, and it's a gorgeous piece of propaganda. John Scheepers does a beautiful job - color photographs of ripe tomatoes, delicate poppies, and assorted other flowers and vegetables on the cover, with delicate line drawings and colored illustrations inside. Suddenly, I want to order seeds from every page! Then I realized - we ourselves are the catalog!

Notes from home: Building a House, Making a Home
http://holly-notesfromhome.blogspot.com/2012/05/building-house-making-home.html
Telling The Story, one day at a time . . . Thursday, May 17, 2012. Building a House, Making a Home. What does it take to build a house? What does it take to make a home? The five-year old discovered Lincoln Logs in the playroom, and immediately set about building a house. We tried different techniques, laughed a little, almost cried when the golden lab knocked down our best-to-date effort. In the end, though, the standard building techniques worked best.

Grandma on Board: June 2014
http://grandma-holly-on-board.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Serving one another along the way . . . Monday, June 23, 2014. Rainy Days and Mondays . . . One of the 5-year olds is staying with us this week-end while his parents are away. This morning we woke up to grey skies, and sure enough, by breakfast time it was raining. What to do on a rainy Monday? Laundry awaited, but first we had to make provision for a very energetic boy; no outdoor romp for us – at least not for a few hours. Or perhaps the barn and tractors? Why not all of them? Links to this post. Too M...

Notes from home: A Lovely Stay . . .
http://holly-notesfromhome.blogspot.com/2011/11/lovely-stay.html
Telling The Story, one day at a time . . . Saturday, November 5, 2011. A Lovely Stay . . . We had a delightful stay at The Mission Oak Inn. Near Henry, Illinois this past week. The Inn is set in the middle of farm country, but nestled into an area where field and timber meet. Speaking of the dining room - you won't go hungry! Guests' comfort and wishes are anticipated - everything from comfortable robes and blankets to fireplaces and whirlpool tubs in each guest room to cookies in the afternoon to go alo...

Notes from home: Lenten Reflection, April 21, 2011
http://holly-notesfromhome.blogspot.com/2011/04/lenten-reflection-april-21-2011.html
Telling The Story, one day at a time . . . Thursday, April 21, 2011. Lenten Reflection, April 21, 2011. Forgive us, renew us, and lead us, so that we may delight in your will and walk in your ways, to the glory of your holy name. Once we’ve been forgiven and renewed, we have choices to make. The question becomes “Where now, Lord? Asking God to lead us is an implicit acknowledgment of His Lordship over us. We are asking Him to show us His. We will follow wherever He leads us. Thanks be to God! Hearts at H...

Notes from home: Grace and Hope
http://holly-notesfromhome.blogspot.com/2011/05/grace-and-hope.html
Telling The Story, one day at a time . . . Thursday, May 26, 2011. Tulips are done blooming here, now; and so are the forsythia and lilacs. In their place, Bells of Canterbury bloom, and sweet woodruff. Walking in the backyard is a fragrant adventure. The tulips are done, but we took pictures. We wanted a record of where tulips were blooming, and where daffodils migrated to, so that next fall we might re-plant bulbs and fill in the spaces that have gone empty.

Notes from home: A Job for More Than One Person . . .
http://holly-notesfromhome.blogspot.com/2011/11/job-for-more-than-one-person.html
Telling The Story, one day at a time . . . Monday, November 14, 2011. A Job for More Than One Person . . . What could be better than a good helper? Raking leaves is a lot of work; it's a job for more than one person, if you can get someone else to help. There's the actual raking, and then moving the leaves to the curb or the compost pile, and of course, the jumping-in-and-reraking. It's a good job for a grandpa and a grandson to share, with cookies and milk afterward, of course. Hope to see you there!
