I’m finally finished ready Little Women. I finished it 30 seconds ago and I sit here with tears running freely down my face. What an emotional book!
Rob and I are feeling mostly better today and are readying ourselves for the week. God is continually with us, even if we are going through the valley right [...]

It’s a beautifully sunny day here. I’m feeling better, and I am praying that Rob is not getting the flu that I’m just over.

I’m sitting here, still reading “Little Women” and the girls are talking about returning visits from their neighbors… and Rob and I, having lived here 14 years barely know our neigbors, let alone “visit” with them.
And it just struck me: I grew up a mile down a gravel road. There were seldom more than 10 [...]
[From Little Women, after the ladies learned in a telegram that Father had taken ill and was in Hospital in Washington:]Poor Hannah was the first to recover, and with unconscious wisdom she set all the rest a good example, for with her, work was panacea for most afflictions.
I am truly hoping that I’ll be healthy enough [...]

Sorry, no long post today.
I have been sick with some yucky stomache flu since 3 AM.
Please pray for me.

I just can’t help it. I have to share more of Marmee’s Wisdom from the book “Little Women” by Louisa May Alcott:
”Have regular hours for work and play, make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well. Then youth will be delightful, old age [...]

The weather in my heart this afternoon was bleak, but a series of events not under my own control led to unbelievable sunshine.
1. My Aunt Laurel called and asked us to pick up a batch of cookies from her home before we went to my folks’ for Easter Dinner/ Rob’s birthday. We got there and [...]

The jagged pieces of my broken heart are beginning to snag at the fabric of my life. I thought I was fine… dealing with everything from last week. But I guess that was not so.
I hate feeling so moody and being grouchy and short-tempered. But that’s all I can come up with right now. Try [...]

I’m still in the very early chapters of “Little Women”, by Loiusa May Alcott. Someone said that their favorite part of the book was “marmee’s wisdom” and I didn’t know what they meant at that point. Now I do.
When Marmee was almost finished talking to her daughter about keeping her temper, they began talking about [...]

Birthdays
Rob’s is on Easter this year. My darling sweetheart hubby will be 38 in just a few days and he WILL NOT tell me what he wants for his special day. For my birthday, he spent a lot of money on getting a 16×20 canvas print of a photo I took of a barn near [...]

In our Christmas Card from a dear friend, she wrote about a possible adoption and asked if Rob and I would be interested. We said YES. But the bio-mom was wanting to keep her baby. A few weeks ago, we found out that the bio-mom agreed to adopt out the baby. And last night we found out [...]

Egg Hunt
We had an Egg Hunt before church this morning. It’s so ill-prepared I just want to scream. I have had some disagreements in the past with the woman who was running the whole show, and came out of my Adult Sunday School class to see if I could help her. The whole thing was [...]

What a week.
Seven days ago, we began our Foster Parent training. We learned somewhere along the way that our other family-making option is doubtful. We did lots of talking and praying and lots of crying. It’s just too much stress to get hopes up and then wait. I’m glad things are how they are now… [...]

I’ve begun “Little Women” on dailylit.com and I’m laughing hysterically at the mishaps from Chapter 2 when the 2 oldest are getting ready for a party. This sentence was the last before the festivities:
Meg’s high-heeled slippers were very tight and hurt her, though she would not own it, and Jo’s nineteen hairpins all seemed stuck straight into [...]
