My Eldest Sister and Role Model… Dr. Gail 2 Corinthians 10: 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 1Thess. 1:6 You became imitators of us and he The Lord; in spite of severe suffering, you welcomed the message with joy, given by The Holy Spirit. Sat. morning 8:30 a.m.; my eldest sister calls me from Florida. “What’s up, Dear?” “Oh I just got out of 7:30 mass, and I’m on my way to…
Psalm 3:5 I lie down and sleep; I awake again because The Lord sustains me. Psalm 4:8 I lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety. We’ve all been there and done that: the job, the marriage, the kids, the divorce, the demise, the birth, the game, the farm, the weather, the finances, pissy siblings/friendships, the business. Sleepless nights, tossing and turning: Last night was one of them. It was totally my fault. I took a nap, and had a high caffeine choco-brownie right before I went…
Spa Day at Mary’s Prov 17:17 A Friend loves at all times. ……….AND WE LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY! The Girlfriends were at it again! Oh my goodness! Did we have fun or what? Call it our second childhood, or call it whatever you like. We had so much fun on June 20! Along with all of our masks, make-up, nail polishes and footbaths, we each brought a salad. Mary ordered a pizza, made a dessert and provided drinks. After saying our blessing, and filling our tummies, we began to orchestrate the afternoon activities. Bella, who is Diane’s 15…
Growing a huge garden was second nature to me. So I thought. My dad always had a huge vegetable garden. We all participated in the planting, harvesting, and giving tons of its contents to friends and family. Back then, my mom wasn’t one to preserve food. She wasn’t one to can, and big family freezers were just becoming popular. I picked strawberries, corn, and tomatoes. I saw so much given away, and thought it rather odd that my parents didn’t feel it important to preserve and conserve. When I married Mr. Moo Cow, I was excited about…
As a young couple, who had just moved to the family farm, we needed a lot of Country TLC. The farm hadn’t been managed by family, in over 35 years. The pressure was on us to build the farm/dairy, rebuild the home, and build a life together. Being a young farmer, my husband needed a father figure, to somewhat guide him along the way. His father passed right after we married. I, in turn, needed the influence of a country mom. By the grace of God, the loving family across the road, fit the bill. Dale, Ruthie, and…
Kids on the farm lead a totally different lifestyle than other children. They have the freedom to create with nature. However, with boys, creativity always takes on a different form. One summer afternoon, about 35 yrs. ago, my six and four year old sons were playing out in the rain. A heavy storm had come upon the farm and left tremendous puddles in which they were playing . It didn’t take long for me to figure out that they were rolling around in the puddles and throwing mud balls at one another. It’s a farm. All I did, was…
PUPPY MADNESS…I had to be out of my mind! Things on the Moo Cow farm are never dull. Something is always going on….someone always pulling in to talk with Farmer Thomas. Here’s our latest fiasco. Nine years ago, my youngest son brought home a pup from his friend’s farm. Since then Appollo-nick name Polli- has been a rascal, but the joy of our lives. Needless to say, we have become lovers of Chocolate Labs. Once they get out of their puppy stage, and become potty trained, they are the best of pets. They are…
