aaahhhh, Sunday !

It's been a lovely weekend , had unexpected friends for lunch today and we had off work @ the store yesterday! Not to say we didn't work tho', seems there is never a time we are caught up in that ! I tell my girls to get used to it, and learn to enjoy it because they'll be doing this (some form ) the rest of their life ! They don't like hearing it :). I want to die with my work boots on if the Lord let's me ! I try to look @ the blessings in work even when I'm over my head in it !
It's easier to write this than actually feel this way all the time, ya know ! .......

Can u believe this summer is almost gone ! I was just planting my corn yesterday and now its ready to be chopped off ! And I didn't get my late crop of spinach,lettuce and other cool crops planted yet and I'm sure I'm too late now ! I feel sometimes with the life I have that I am always missing things, not getting stuff done that I want too ! I know my motto is ...one day @ a time ...its just hard to remember that when I get behind in my projects,sewing,canning, laundry etc.

Kids are back in school and its going good for the most part! Norv is on the schoolboard, so he's got meeting w/teachers and making sure everything is running smoothly for everybody! I'm on for hotlunch this week with three others, big job to fix food for 80 people !

We've had such good sermons in church lately, good practical ones on music, and passing on your heritage and today about what you think about God is who you are as a person...still pondering that one ! How do I describe God to some one who wants to know "my religion", loving ,compassionate, or some one who is waiting to pounce on me when I mess up ? In Proverbs, in the women's ss class ,we heard lots of good practical advice about living and the consequences of sin...people may put up a nice smiling front, but look @ the eyes and see the pain in so many faces....they try to deny and hide the pain...am I taking the time to smile and hug and give an encouraging word or do I rush past and say a quick "hi" and that's it ? I think about this esp. @ the store, I am in the back a lot with Ellie and am doing orders and stuff and the times I do talk to people its just surface stuff mostly, but I see so many people with pains of the past..and baggage from second marriages,etc. I can't imagine living a life like that without God ! My thot' s are rather jumbled...

Hope you have a good week, I smell popcorn! I'd better run if I want some !

- September 11: 12 years ago 2 brothers died in a plane crash, 10 years ago , the tragedy @ the world trade center ...so many good things have come from both, but the pain still lingers for many people. I am so thankful for a God who is up in heaven caring for our loved ones. What a future !

I’m Back!

 I’ve been thinking the last few weeks of this poor forsaken blog, so I looked up the other day and it was actually 2012 that I quit. A lot of water has passed under the bridge since then and our family has grown and there’s been lots of changes and a wedding and a daughter-in-law and grandbaby coming and now we’re having another wedding In a few weeks! Wow , you never know what will happen in six more years! I thought about trying to catch up over our lives the last few years, but most of you already know What all we’ve been up to so I’m not gonna try! I’m just going to start where we are now! This is going to be a year to remember for sure! 2018, Who would’ve thought, that we would be facing cancer, looking forward to being grandparents, having a 19-year-old daughter getting married, another daughter dating!  It’s almost mind-boggling, but I am reminded  that when I started this blog and I was a busy younger mother with six little kids, that I literally took one day at a time and

Kitchen Remodel...

This was the beginning of a terrible messy job of remodeling our kitchen. Norv and John Schlabach did the work of ripping off the ceiling and putting a new one on, insulating the new part (Samantha did that, crawling around up there) and then installing new cabinets. But before that could be done , they had to move the window, put drywall mud on the walls to cover up and blend together all the different wall coverings, rip out old cupboards, move the water lines for the dishwasher and new sink.... and this was all done in 5 days! This was open to the outside for a few days, so we stayed at Norv's folks while this was being done... see the original trailer roof shape? Here is the finished product! I got my curtains hung and the only thing missing is the microwave hood that may never be! I'd like to actually put a shelf in it's place. Looking toward the living room from the island...I love my shelf that just happened to appear after the ceiling got ripped off, the end

The pros of owning a bulk food store!

  ...trying out a Himalayan Pink Salt block from a customer! "would I carry this, please"? (Do I crush it or just pass it around the table?) :) .....i take all the produce home that get bumped and briused. Onions get chopped and frozen, which I love having on hand ,just don't like too many at a time! ....grabbing baking stuff off the shelves,including many items I normally wouldn't get, like mini m&m bits! Funny tho', my spices containers are emptier than ever, I forget to pick them up 'cause I don't have a grocery list anymore! ....farm fresh eggs from local farmers! ....i get to test out the latest kitchen gadgets,including the broken stuff! ....meat and cheese ends from the deli, they make wonderful snacks when having  friends over!
