It was time, past time! Time to trim the hedges. A job that I didn’t mind so much when the hedges were small. But now after 2 ½ years of growth, it takes more manpower (or in my case womanpower 😉) to get the job done. So, while my husband mowed, I took the electric … Continue reading Gnat Affliction!

Lessons Learned (Sugar/Dairy Fast)
In my younger years, I didn't realize the effects sugar can produce on a body. Aches and pains were a daily struggle. Leg pain tolerated through the day became unbearable through my nights.

A Laboring Labor Day!
Labor Day morning, September 2, 1985, I began having contractions. It was about a week early so I wasn’t sure anything would come of them.

Have you witnessed a fool reveal the sum of their understanding? Have you cheered as an exceptionally wise person met a foolish opponent with the wisdom of Solomon?
