After several busy full work weeks, Bill finally had one of his regular Fridays off. We prayed that the weather would cooperate for a long walk. Thankfully there were no signs of yesterday’s 5.5” of rain. Instead, we had glorious brisk Fall temperatures. We didn’t have a solid plan about distance but we knew we […]
Upon returning from my morning errands, I noticed a little box on the doorstep. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the return address. My new phone arrived early and without a required signature. I waited until everyone was home and unboxed it with them after dinner. Apple does a beautiful job with its […]
I’m glad I signed up for the Evansville Half Marathon and that I completed it. I would not have wanted to miss out on the medal this year. It’s quite the piece! I joked with several folks that it’s the kind of thing I should put in my car and bring out at night for […]
Right before we walked into adoration today, my BFF, Liz, handed me a gift. When I saw it, I gave a giant belly laugh out loud. I told Liz how much I loved it and that my mother would too. I called my mom on the way home from school with Mason in the car […]
There has been a lot of work around these parts on Walker’s International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma and his college application essays. To end the weekend on a high note, Bill and Walker decided to have some fun in the kitchen using a cookbook he got for his birthday. They chose the Savory Tuna Burger with […]
Today Bill and I returned to Ferdinand for our first Fall hike. He and Walker were out here last weekend and did seven miles but I was unable to go. The forest looks different now that Fall is here. Everywhere we looked, there were leaves obscuring what once was an easily spotted trail. The […]
Thanks to Covid-19, the Evansville Half Marathon is being held virtually this year. It’s a wise decision since it brings together a large number of people huffing and puffing side by side. I still signed up for the race for two reasons. First of all, I wanted to support our local YMCA and secondly, it’s […]
Early voting in the State of Indiana started this week. Bill and I took advantage of a break in his day between meetings and his shift at the Covid clinic. We didn’t have far to travel and because we caught it at just the right time, the wait was not very long. The process was […]
Decorating for the holidays has not been much of my thing lately but I have been wanting to incorporate small festive touches. I decided seasonal placemats would fit the bill. Four years ago I completed a pair of Halloween throws. Those ate up a huge amount of my spooky fabric stash but not all of […]
Presenting the Briyoke Sweater designed by Matilda Kruse and knitted by yours truly. Though I shared about it a few days ago, I really finished, finished, finished it yesterday for knitting this morning. We met to film a short video about our Rhinebeck sweaters to be included on Kristy Glass’s Channel. If I hadn’t had […]
