Month: April 2024

When we lived in Mississippi, we had some goats for awhile. First, we had Angie and Zena. They both had kids. Zoe was Zena’s kid. We enjoyed having the goats, most of the time. The children weren’t always that excited to milk the nannies. I learned to make goat cheese, and yogurt. I even made…

Yes!! We made it through the month! I know, there is still “Z” and that comes tomorrow. But I survived post the alphabet on THREE blogs!! I don’t think I lost my sanity, but perhaps I was insane to attempt it in the first place! LOL Thank you for joining along. I am hoping this…

There are many types of blessings. I admit, my favorite blessings are my children, and grandchildren. Children are a blessing     and a gift from the Lord. Having a lot of children   to take care of you     in your old age is like a warrior     with a lot of arrows. The more you have,     the better…

Sometimes as parents and grandparents we can get pretty uptight. We expect our homes to be perfect. We expect our children and grandchildren to be perfect. We even expect our spouses to be perfect! Come on! You knows it’s true! My friend, nothing is going to be perfect in this sinful world. So, relax! Enjoy…
