I was physically and mentally not feeling well last week. Then my inlaws arrived last Thursday. So between physical illness, Bipolar, and my inlaws coming to visit, I have been too wrapped up to write here. It has been a very hard week. This weekend I am doing better physically. I went to church and … Continue reading On the Mend

Lovely Day
Today we went into the city to go to an art museum dedicated to what is traditionally seen as craft or woman's work. It was fascinating! There were some really deep, beautiful things there, and I got some nice photos. We went out to lunch after the museum, then went back to town and grabbed … Continue reading Lovely Day
Wonderful Weekend
The girls weekend with L was wonderful! We had a horror movie marathon! We also ate at a couple of good restaurants and went to a carousel. We had hoped to do the pool, but found out that this particular hotel didn't have one. Oh well. We had an amazing time nonetheless! Now I'm back … Continue reading Wonderful Weekend
Public Again
A few days ago, I made my blog private. I've since changed it back. I have this internal battle because, on one hand, I love blogging about my life, but on the other hand, I'm a private person I just felt unsafe and exposed, so I made the page private. But I'm feeling better now. … Continue reading Public Again
Addie
Meet Addie. I don't know why, but this morning I suddenly got the urge to adopt a fish. I haven't had a fish in years. So my daughter and I went to Petsmart and she helped me pick out supplies. I wanted a tank with colored lights, but bought the white light one because it … Continue reading Addie
My First Loaf of Bread
Today I used our old bread machine to make my first loaf of bread. I made parmesan garlic bread. It didn't turn out perfectly. I took out the mixing piece too soon. But my husband has still enjoyed a piece. Tomorrow I might try again. I got several chores done today, but not as many … Continue reading My First Loaf of Bread
Lovely Afternoon
A had a cooking class today, followed by a sleepover. She won't come home until tomorrow night after her next cooking class. I miss her, but today C and I got to go out on a date. It has been nice having it be just the two of us for the evening. Tomorrow C goes … Continue reading Lovely Afternoon
A Lovely Day
This morning I slept in a little bit. I got up a little after 8. My daughter's sewing teacher came over. While she was doing sewing I was talking to someone from the school district about home school resources and activities. I got some good information. Homeschooling is feeling more real. I've homeschooled for a … Continue reading A Lovely Day
Battlefield, Film, Books
Today my husband took our family to a historic battlefield. I got photos on both of the film cameras I brought. I can't wait to see how the color flash comes out in one and the special effects of psychedelic blues film in the other. Film makes me happy. I ordered more today for my … Continue reading Battlefield, Film, Books
Settling In
I can almost run my vacuum! The upstairs is mostly off the floor. We have unpacked so much, and this past weekend we had help. It was wonderful! Today I have a ton of laundry to do. The machines I have at this house play a cute little tune when the load is done. That … Continue reading Settling In
