The Things of Life: February 2015
http://thethingsoflife.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 07, 2015. The bathroom floor is gritty. It was also akin to a pond. Yesterday, the kids' job was to clean the bathroom sink. They turned it into scrubbing the tile floor. I asked what they were doing, they evaded the question and shut the door. Since they are not the quietest children, and scrubbing isn't a silent activity, I already knew what they were doing. And I peeked under the door and took a picture. For half an hour they cleaned. Somehow I managed to get all the water wiped up,...

The Things of Life: My Provider
http://thethingsoflife.blogspot.com/2014/07/my-provider.html
Tuesday, July 29, 2014. The Offering of Isaac. Now it came about after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham! 8221; And he said, “Here I am.”. He said, “Take now your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell you.”. On the third day Abraham raised his eyes and saw the place from a distance. Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father! Abraham stretched o...

The Things of Life: Day 4
http://thethingsoflife.blogspot.com/2015/06/day-4.html
Thursday, June 18, 2015. Today is Day 4 of summer vacation. It's been a long 4 days. The three of us being home all day with each other is proving difficult. I was really looking forward to having the summer with my kids. Last summer, we had the store, and I had a plan for where the kids would be for all 10 weeks. By the end of summer last year, with the kids being gone one at a time or at camp or somewhere else, I felt like I had missed out of a lot with them. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Things of Life: October 2013
http://thethingsoflife.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 31, 2013. I made the munchkins costumes this year. Ellie's from a bed skirt . . . And Josh's from a fleece throw, with a little help from a hoodie and sweat pants. They are a dragon and a queen turned into bride. Saturday, October 26, 2013. Yard Work and Family Fun. We did some yard work today. I tackled the compost pile. It was big enough for the whole block. I downsized it by half. It is still bigger than we need. But it is very much more tidy now. Then we went out for dinner. Kul...

The Things of Life: Poor Lilly
http://thethingsoflife.blogspot.com/2015/02/poor-lilly.html
Friday, February 06, 2015. On January 14th, Lilly completely tore her CCL. Her knee ligament. Josh made her comfortable the next morning. And wrote her a get well card. We took her to our vet. A $3000 surgery. I talked with my cousin, a vet. We took her to another vet. $2200 - 2500 surgery. We decided to have the other vet do the surgery. This past Monday. Now she gets to wear a fun cone and lay around a lot. Wait. The laying around a lot is not new. And Ellie wrote her a get well card. The Things of Life.

Tuesday, June 24, 2014. Help is on the way. Ellie has qualified for Medical Assistance. I don't like having to apply for it. We don't need help, since we already have insurance for her. But she would really benefit from Wrap Around services. And one can only acquire Wrap Around services through Medical Assistance. We had our intake interview for Ellie at Indian Creek Foundation yesterday. The lady asked us questions for nearly two hours. Questions we've answered for numerous people, many times. It seems ...

The Things of Life: May 2014
http://thethingsoflife.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 27, 2014. Fourteen years ago Gary and I were married. This year we celebrated at Ricketts Glen State Park. The beginning of Falls Trail. Gary hurt his ankle at the beginning of our hike. The dam for Lake Leigh. Here is a map for Falls Trail. We started at the upper right where it says "Beach Area Parking" and hiked to the dam, then down to Ozone Falls, and then back to the parking area. Gary likes the periwinkle. Growing atop Shawnee Falls. We saw a beaver lodge. And the top of Adams Falls.

The Things of Life: My Peace
http://thethingsoflife.blogspot.com/2014/07/my-peace.html
Wednesday, July 30, 2014. I woke this morning at 6:00 am, planning to spend time with God. I wasn't sure exactly what I was going to do . . . but God did. I started by praying and then singing "You are My Hiding Place" and "You are My Strength When I am Weak." Then I fell back asleep. I haven't been trusting Him to work out the struggles I have. Trusting Him to take care of the children he's given me. I've screamed "Why! I got out of bed and set to look up the hymn and some scripture passages about peace.

Friday, June 19, 2015. The boy with the broken arm, no more. Today, he's whole again. The cast is off. He's FREE! It's been an interesting journey, this broken arm world. A bit inconvenient, but not unworkable. It was originally hard for Josh to deal with having his dominant arm in a cast past his elbow. He felt like he couldn't do anything. But he learned. He adapted. But he didn't really slow down. Thursday, June 18, 2015. Today is Day 4 of summer vacation. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Things of Life.
