My daughter and I are working on the art studio together. She puts everything in rainbow order, which I love. We have a beautiful light set to put on the wall, and I can't wait to get it set up. She's a wonderful designer and comes up with so many organizational ideas.

The Last Days of Summer
The week is off to a busy start between doctor appointments, school uniform shopping, and medical stuff for school. My daughter A came home late Friday night. My dad flew her home, and he stayed with us for the weekend, flying home Sunday night. His visit was awesome! We drove around and took him to … Continue reading The Last Days of Summer
Trying to Recover Me
Tuesday and Wednesday I volunteered at the dog shelter. A dog I fell in love with the first day was adopted the second day, which made me happy. I came home exhausted, strangely exhausted, but with the satisfaction of making living, loving little animals' day better. Today I am running on little sleep and have … Continue reading Trying to Recover Me
Summer is here
A just landed back home with her grandparents. C and I are having a lovely day just us again (A traveled all day Saturday too). We went to a lovely shop that sells coffee and analog photography supplies. C got excellent coffee. I got an adorable new 35 mm camera with a bunny character on … Continue reading Summer is here
Looking Ahead
I'm looking ahead to a lonely summer. My inlaws arrived yesterday. After they spend a few days here, they're flying A back to Georgia with them. Honestly, my baby flying without me scares me. I will struggle to sleep for the 24 hours or so that she will be traveling. But after that initial, terrifying … Continue reading Looking Ahead
Should I Start a Substack?

I have a few topic ideas. 1. Poetry 2. Art and Photography 3. Homemaking and marriage 4. Faith 5. … Continue reading Should I Start a Substack?
I Throw Out My Art
I throw out 99 percent of the visual art I create. Crazy, I know, but I move too much and make too much to keep it all. Honestly, most of my work is not even created with the intention of being kept or hung on a wall. Most of the paintings that I post on … Continue reading I Throw Out My Art
Laundry Day
I have so much laundry to do today! For a while, the washing machine quit working after the power flickered, which slowed me down. But I'm determined to get another load done, maybe two, before my husband gets home. Everything is wet and gray. I can't wait to move. I am so ready to be … Continue reading Laundry Day
Tea, Digital Art, New Dish
Tomorrow, Mother's Day weekend begins. A is having a Mother's Day tea at her school tomorrow. I'm nervous. Today, I've been sick, and my mood has been changing. I'm very exhausted. But I don't want to miss the tea, so I will be going (unless she's sick in the morning). Speaking of feeling bad, A … Continue reading Tea, Digital Art, New Dish
Bible Journaling Life
Bible journaling is life changing. I've never felt closer to God or more engrossed in His word. I'm having a hard time doing other things because I just want to be in my Bible! I'm making washi tape tabs and using highlighters more than I ever have in my life! I have clear tip highlighters … Continue reading Bible Journaling Life
