Today I used our old bread machine to make my first loaf of bread. I made parmesan garlic bread. It didn't turn out perfectly. I took out the mixing piece too soon. But my husband has still enjoyed a piece. Tomorrow I might try again. I got several chores done today, but not as many … Continue reading My First Loaf of Bread

Lovely Afternoon
A had a cooking class today, followed by a sleepover. She won't come home until tomorrow night after her next cooking class. I miss her, but today C and I got to go out on a date. It has been nice having it be just the two of us for the evening. Tomorrow C goes … Continue reading Lovely Afternoon
A Lovely Day
This morning I slept in a little bit. I got up a little after 8. My daughter's sewing teacher came over. While she was doing sewing I was talking to someone from the school district about home school resources and activities. I got some good information. Homeschooling is feeling more real. I've homeschooled for a … Continue reading A Lovely Day
Battlefield, Film, Books
Today my husband took our family to a historic battlefield. I got photos on both of the film cameras I brought. I can't wait to see how the color flash comes out in one and the special effects of psychedelic blues film in the other. Film makes me happy. I ordered more today for my … Continue reading Battlefield, Film, Books

The bad ankle is not loving me right now. This morning, I hired a professional decorator/organizer to help me. My … Continue reading Moving is Exhausting
Sick Day
I have been throwing up a lot since I woke up today. I feel sweaty and weak and tired. At this point I'm just hoping I can keep my medicine down tonight. Yesterday we went to a restaurant we won't have around any more when we move. We grabbed ice cream too. This coming week … Continue reading Sick Day
New Digital Planner!

I wanted something colorful and bright. I ended up on Etsy, where I saw digital planners compatible with the Android app, Penly. They had … Continue reading New Digital Planner!
Housework Inspiration
Today is my first day back to regular life. I have been cleaning, caring for the dogs, and doing laundry. Soon I have to take the car to the dealership because of an oil leak. I'm hoping the repair won't be expensive I would like to paint, read, and write, but the house must get … Continue reading Housework Inspiration
Submission and the wheelchair
Quick thought. When I told my husband how safe I feel when he pushes me in my wheelchair, he said it makes sense because I submit. You have to submit when someone else is pushing your wheelchair. Following my husband's lead and listening to him has in many ways become second nature to me. I … Continue reading Submission and the wheelchair
