This Rock Pile Life: May 2012

Monday, May 28, 2012. Tut-Tut, Looks Like Rain (it's time to go camping). After last year, some have said with a knowing smile and a chuckle, it's a wonder they'd make plans to go again. Since last year's tent was staying home, the boys thought it would be a great idea to do a little camping of their own. They decided to set up just off the patio in the back yard. Their idea of "camping" was not quite what one might imagine. Together. It rained. The wind blew. And when the movie was done I th...When we w...

This Rock Pile Life: Pursuit and Passion :: A Living Education Retreat
http://thisrockpilelife.blogspot.com/2012/08/pursuit-and-passion-living-education.html
Wednesday, August 15, 2012. Pursuit and Passion : A Living Education Retreat. Sometimes I can get myself stuck in the still and stagnant air of square boxes and grids and time-slot scheduling of school days. Even when it's pretty paper! I do know better, but when the days are slipping past too quickly, it's easy to default to a familiar groove. That's what was happening. I needed this fresh wind I had planned for myself since last spring! Read the words for yourself. And see if you don't agree! And she p...

This Rock Pile Life: July 2012
http://thisrockpilelife.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 6, 2012. It wasn't his first choice, but by the look on his face you'd never know. For months he's been looking through magazines and websites, mowing grass and weeding the flower beds and finishing wood for a kitchen project and sealing the swingset and washing the vehicles. And then the birthday cards came in the mail and his savings was finally enough. After some friendly conversation, Hubby placed an order for a great 'beginner' plane that included everything needed to get it in the air.

This Rock Pile Life: Of Wars, Watercolors, and Winnie the Pooh
http://thisrockpilelife.blogspot.com/2012/09/of-wars-watercolors-and-winnie-pooh.html
Friday, September 28, 2012. Of Wars, Watercolors, and Winnie the Pooh. It's here. Leaves turning and falling. New birds visiting for a short time at the feeder as they travel through. The smell of burning wood. An extra blanket and the window open only a crack. The books are out and we're spending a little more time in. But not all of it! The time period in history we will be covering this year is roughly the gold rush through present day. That's a lot of years. That's a lot of wars! My but time does fly.

This Rock Pile Life: November 2011

Wednesday, November 30, 2011. When A Good Man Says Yes. Something for a woman! Not the kind of yes. As in "yes, I will pick up a gallon of milk on my way home", but the kind of yes. As in "yes" to a wish, a small would-be dream, like . blogging. And when my Good Man said " yes. It did something for this woman. Lightened her step. Brightened her day. Brought a song to her lips. And so here we are, a first post on "the rockpile". Labels: My Good Man. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Letting Go of Mommy Guilt.

This Rock Pile Life: April 2012
http://thisrockpilelife.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 19, 2012. Love: It's What's for Breakfast. Hubby was out of town, so I set the alarm on my phone for 6:30. We rarely set an alarm when he's home because he just wakes up early. I don't. If I want to be up before the boys, and I do, then I need a wake-up call. The cell phone is a much quieter, kinder way to start the day than the obnoxious honking of our digital alarm clock! He walked into the bedroom with his usual morning greeting, "Love you to infinity and beyond! As I was enjoying butt...

This Rock Pile Life: I Do
http://thisrockpilelife.blogspot.com/2012/08/i-do.html
Sunday, August 26, 2012. Still love this man! 9,857 yesterdays ago, (27 years) we stood before God and family and friends and promised to love each other forever. No matter what. I hope we have at least that many tomorrows. It all started the summer after 6th Grade. This kid with wavy blonde hair and a reckless sparkle in his green eyes wooed me across the churchyard lawn at vacation Bible school when he yelled "Red Rover, Red Rover! Send Tina right over! Young love comes with it's trials and heartaches,...

This Rock Pile Life: A Fall Farewell
http://thisrockpilelife.blogspot.com/2012/10/a-fall-farewell.html
Tuesday, October 2, 2012. The season is quickly changing. And it's beautiful, isn't it? To everything there is a season. The trees know this. When it's time to change they dress in vibrant splendor for the occasion and then quickly and quietly they let go and move on to the quiet settling of another season. So it is, too, right here. This season of sharing life on my rockpile is heading into a new season. A season of settling in. A season of quiet. We shall meet here again another time.
