Tackle It Tuesday

I love my husband, he’s so sweet. He says to me today, “Honey, if you feel like it, I would love to have a real meal tonight. I’m kinda sick of leftovers.” So I’m tackling my kitchen. 🙂 Check back for the after. And maybe another recipe. Before:After: And the recipe, I’m working on it. Garlic Chuck Roast. Mmmmm.

Things I Meant to Blog About But Ran Out of Time, Energy, or Just Plain Forgot

Jen reads Randy Ingermanson’s blog and he talks highly of this (free) Simple.ology course. Jen’s been following the course and I haven’t. I had decided to give it a shot, started it, and never got past day one. So I started again today. Which leads me to the next bullet point.

Need to get back into the swing of things! We haven’t had a fire yet this winter because we were behind on our wood splitting. Thank God we had a very abnormal weekend with temps in the 60’s recently and Thank God Phil has a great boss who let us borrow his hydrolic wood splitter. We got enough split to … Read More

Tackle It Tuesday

I wanted to take a picture, have something tangible for this week because I’m such a visual person, but to be honest, I have a lot on my mind lately. So I think my tackles are mental, or maybe not things I can photograph. Today’s Phil’s birthday, Happy Birthday my love. I’m so blessed to have you for my husband, … Read More

Flaunt It Friday–Your Workspace, Desk, etc…

This week’s Flaunt It Friday delves into places you’ve already embarrassed me into cleaning on Tackle It Tuesdays. I was going to write FIF for Flaunt It Friday, but realized many of my friends will think “Faith In Fiction” and Dave Long and Bethany House. Then I looked at Tackle It Tuesday and, well, TIT. Ok. Maybe they’ll have to … Read More

Stephen King. Books, Movies, and a comparison.

Stephen King has long held my admiration, for as long as I can recall reading, I know he’s always been my favorite. I have not read everything he’s penned, not by a long shot and I’m doing some catching up. A couple months ago, I listened to the audiobook Cell, I thought it was decent. In June, I listened to … Read More
