May 27

My oldest son surprised us Sunday by inviting us to a cookout at Lansford Canal State Park.  It was a beautiful day.  He supplied all the food (though I did make a pan of S’mores Brownies) and waited on us hand and foot.  He wouldn’t let us do anything. The other kids fished while he made lunch.  After dinner we took a 3-mile hike along the Catawba River and the old canals.  Lansford has an … Continue reading

I shouldn’t complain though.  It could be worse.  I could … Continue reading

You’ll poke an eye out. Don’t sit so close to the TV. You’ll go blind. Don’t cross your eyes. They’ll freeze that way. Are you hard of hearing? What did you say? … Continue reading

Proverbs 31 Church

Many of us try to live up to the Proverbs 31 woman and find ourselves quite lacking.  She seems to be the model career woman, super mom, and the perfect wife.

She has the strength of Superman, the dignity of a queen, and the wisdom of Solomon. All the while she laughs … Continue reading
