About two weeks ago, my husband and I received a wonderful gift from cousins . Take a look. You might not have seen anything quite like it! It’s called a violin-uke and sometime in the past–circa 1930–my husband’s great aunt and great uncle purchased it. As you can see it’s almost in perfect condition even…
In most of the USA, including my state of Michigan, we do this thing with our clocks each year. We “spring ahead” an hour each March to place ourselves into daylight savings time, and in the autumn, we “fall back” to return to regular time for winter. Next weekend we will “spring ahead,” and I…
Our free book this month is the wonderful novel by Ellen Marie Wiseman THE ORPHAN COLLECTOR. As I read this book, I couldn’t help but compare it to what we are going through with Covid-19. I’m very thankful for all the advances in medicine since the last worldwide epidemic, the Spanish Flu. From the New…
These are two of my favorite movies. I’ve watched each at least ten times. I love the “teenage angst” and sweet love story of DAN IN REAL LIFE, and I also love the “good guy wins” theme of THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION. It doesn’t hurt one bit that the actors in each are fabulous! What are…

Sweet, because so many of our beloved friends and family members have birthdays in February, but bitter as well because our first child, Koral Kristine, was also born in February. She lived five short days and died of meningitis, very heart-rending. I don’t think there’s anything worse than…
I think the readers of this blog deserve something to lift their spirits. After all we’re still mostly housebound and it IS winter–at least in the Northern Hemisphere, and a friend of mine in Australia just wrote that this year is very dry and very hot! I hope the rest of the Southern Hemisphere is…
This is a photo of our youngest granddaughter, Rylee. She asked for this huge “snuggy” for Christmas, and as you can see, Grandpa and Grandma obliged! She says she loves to cozy up in it on cold winter evenings! What’s your go-to to get cozy on chilly days? For me it’s several different afghans and…
On a cold winter morning, I love wrapping my hands around a mug of something hot–tea, cocoa, coffee, even warm milk with a sprinkle of cinnamon! My beverage of choice is tea in any flavor, even “candy tea” like in the photo above if I can overlook the calories. (A once in a while treat!)…
