When I was in grade school and junior high, I played softball and racquetball and enjoyed status as one of the best long- and triple-jumpers in our school. I loved being athletic, but I wasn’t self-confident enough to really push myself into anything I would have to try-out for. Then in 8th grade I dislocated [...]

I love the ordinary, simple and everyday treasures of life.
Like my sewing machine. This little Kenmore is 20 years old this fall. I have never had it serviced or cleaned. I have read the manual through three or four times, but I still don’t understand all about tension or how to use the stretch [...]

Once again, as I look over the last week, I see that I accomplished more than I thought I had. It’s a real blessing to me at this time to see that I am making progress in many different areas. It’s so easy to get mired in the day-to-day and feel discouraged. If you don’t [...]

Yesterday was the perfect [...]

I must admit that I would have a hard time eating corn-on-the-cob any other way! This time we tried something a little different; [...]

Okay, not really. But I am going to use my Thankful Thursday to sing Vinegar’s praises.
1. Add one cupful to your dishwasher cycle to eliminate spotting and hard water residue.
2. Add two cups to your clothes washer and run a cycle about once a month – especially if you have hard water.
3. As noted [...]

I got the idea from a couple of other homemaking blogs to have a “Workin’ It Wednesday” post each week wherein I report on my current projects. This is a great idea for many reasons, but mostly because it will force me to make progress on long term projects. If I have to actually post [...]
