Gatherings

We have 4 weeks left of our school year!!! YEE-HAH!!! At this point, I am trying to keep to myself that no one wants a break more than I do!! Seriously, at this point in the year I am staring wistfully out the window too!!! Our last day is May 25th! Not that the learning [...]

I haven’t thought about my menus the last couple of weeks. I have been “shooting from the hip.” “Gee, what’s in the frig? Okay, let’s have that!!” Well, now I need to get serious about saving money so that we go to my sister’s wedding in Florida which is in July. [...]

This morning at T2CHK I shared that I was thankful for that spring has finally arrived in Maine. It is wonderful to have the sunshine, feel some warmth, see the flowers poking out, and to open the windows.

Here are some other even more wonderful things I am thankful for:

“Many are the woes of the wicked, [...]

At T2CHK, we are doing a Quilt Swap! I am so excited! This year we will do 9 patch squares like the one above except they will be floral prints. This week I hope to get the material. Many of the ladies have already started sewing…YIKES! So I really need to get moving. When I [...]

I ran across a great article at www.crosswalk.com (Crosswalk) today. In view of a tough week for our country including but not limited to the shooting at Virginia Tech, the shooting at NASA, and the crashing of a Blue Devil Jet I think it is timely. It is called, “Learning Through Loss” [...]

Did you know there are loads and loads of free patterns from Lion Brand? Their website is: www.lionbrand.com . I signed up to get their newsletters via [...]

Yep, you guessed it, it’s snowin’. It’s the third major storm this month! So…here’s to global warming (*wink* *smile*)

Winter Wonderland

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We’re happy tonight.
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song,
As we [...]

I am letting the flowers I put here make up for the flowers I don’t see outside! LOL! Tomorrow we are due another snow storm! This is our 3rd snow storm since Spring came! I am really hoping it turns to rain, which it might. I am suppose to meet with a friend on [...]

Today we focused heavily on schoolwork. The kids were all struggling with various subjects so I decided I needed to give it all my attention. I tried to spend the entire morning working with them and not doing anything else. I think it helped but I was surprised that we still didn’t get Science in [...]
