Happy (Belated) Birthday Trevor!
I am so behind lately. Not sure why I keep getting behind in my blogging. But this aside…. here’s a short but belated birthday post for Trevor. Trevor’s Birthday was on Sunday, July 12. To celebrate, we went to a friends house for supper and fellowship. Glorianna made Trevor a key lime cheesecake that he…

My Blanket Ladder, a Praise Report, and Grandma’s Tea Party
A few weeks ago I decided to do a DIY project. I’ve been wanting a blanket ladder for a long time but the prices people are asking is ridiculous. So I attempted to make my own. We had a lot of wood leftover from redoing the deck and I had leftover paint, so it wasn’t…

Happy Father’s Day to Trevor and Happy Birthday to Zion
Oh boy…how behind I am in blogging. It’s amazing how busy we’ve been this month. Father’s Day weekend we had a get together at one of the local parks. That was fun being able to fellowship and enjoy some time outdoors. Covid had shut things down for so long, that it was surprising that we…

Quick Family Trip
Trevor had to take a trip to Nashville, TN for work one day in mid-June, so he decided to take the family and make a day of it. We got to visit the Parthenon, an amazing restaurant called “Biscuit Love” and a cute little Donuts Shop called “Five Daughters Bakery” while we were there. We…

Home Repair Part Three
Here are some more updates on our backyard/patio. It’s been a slow process, but we are getting there. We removed the “benches” that were attached to our upper deck. With the big ugly trees by the deck now gone, you can see just how “unsafe” our railings were. Pulling up the old boards on our…

Home Repair Part Two
We are still working away on our Home Projects. Since Trevor is still working from home and probably will be for at least another month, I wanted to make some more room for him in the family room. His desk as just been in the middle of the floor and it had to be moved…

Mother’s Day and Birthdays
Mother’s Day was our first day back to church since the shut down of everything. We still can’t have full attendance yet but we have been able to have about half. So the first week back we had those whose last names begin with A-H to come and the next week I-Z. It was so…

“For the First Time in Forever….”
So I came up with this song on a whim this morning and had a nice laugh. If I could sing, I’d probably put it on youtube with all the rest of the quarantine songs out there. If you’ve never seen the movie, “Frozen” or aren’t familiar with this song/tune, you may not appreciate it…

Home Repairs
Some of the things we’ve been doing while in “quarantine”. We’ve started taking apart the back deck. The pool broke last summer and we never got it repaired. So this year we asked the kids if they wanted a new pool and deck or if they wanted a nice family vacation. They chose the vacation.…

Easter
Easter was a bit different this year. With the corona virus messing up normal life for the past month–schools, stores, churches, etc. being forced to close, stream online only or limit those in attendance, we’ve had to stay home a lot more than normal. Trevor is working from home, Zion is back to doing “homeschool”…
