Life and Times: May 2015
http://deurfam.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 19, 2015. It started very innocently, as it usually does. Taking care of the tedious tasks of Sunday afternoon - cleaning up around the kitchen, waiting for lasagna to cook - I glance and see my antique Ball jars sitting on the end table. Dusty. Dingy. Old. Tears pool until they can't be contained. The dirty Ball jars taunt me. Inadequacy, my familiar guest, slips into the room. "You don't even know how to clean a jar. What kind of wife are you? His mother would know how"). And then there is...

Life and Times: September 2012
http://deurfam.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 10, 2012. June is Bustin' Out All Over. I have shy kids. When they were little. They would hide behind my legs. Whenever someone tried to talk to them. They were the kind of kids that preferred. To have someone order for them at restaurants. They hate to talk on the phone. Or to ask the neighbors to buy what they are selling. And I think I know where they got it from. When Paige was in middle school. She had no interest in being in the school play. No big surprise there. Give it a try.

Life and Times: September 2011
http://deurfam.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 24, 2011. My family has always been bent towards basketball. When I was a preschooler, my oldest sister was playing college ball. In sixth grade, I traveled across Michigan while my brother's team went all the way to the MHSAA State Finals. If we couldn't make it to the WMCHS games, we'd all quietly lay around the living room listening to them on the radio. I spent summers at GHHS basketball camps and played on school teams through tenth grade. Fast forward 25 years. 1 Soccer is globa...

Life and Times: November 2011
http://deurfam.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 15, 2011. Do you ever have it when you start to think. If only I had more "? I'm feeling that way right now. When I was young. I wanted more friends, more toys, more candy. And then it was more clothes, more bedroom space. More good grades, more fun, and more freedom. I needed more household supplies. More dishes, more towels, more pots and more pans. And then I noticed that to store them I needed. More closets, more drawers, more space. And then I wanted more people. More time to be.

Life and Times: February 2012
http://deurfam.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 7, 2012. For the director of music. Of David. A psalm. I waited patiently for the LORD;. He turned to me. And heard my cry. He lifted me out. Of the slimy pit,. Out of the mud and mire;. He set my feet on a rock. And gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth,. A hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the LORD. And put their trust in him. Blessed is the one. Who trusts in the LORD,. Who does not look to the proud,. To those who turn aside to false gods.

Life and Times: July 2012

Tuesday, July 31, 2012. Here are some treasures Mikaela stumbled acrossed while cleaning today. I thought they needed to be shared! Dad and Uncle Hank. Now I know where Paige gets her photo pose from. Such a dog lover. He never really cared for cats, did he? Such a stylish and attractive couple. Dad with his girls. Sandy, Joan and Marcia. Some damage on this one, but so cute. Sandy, Marcia, Mom, Joan, Tom and Dad. Looks like mom is wearing a corsage. Mother's day? Jodi's baptism, 1968.

Life and Times: Before - Deuring - After
http://deurfam.blogspot.com/2011/09/before-deuring-after.html
Thursday, September 1, 2011. Before - Deuring - After. I am a big fan of blogging. I think it is a really great. But I am not very good at blogging myself. I'm just too busy living life to sit. And put thoughts to the keyboard. I was inspired my sister in law's. Before and after project post. I could do that! We've had our house for sale all summer with hopes to buy. A fixer-upper in town. My big plan was to blog as we renovated. It was a genius plan with an even more genius title-. We are still here.
