DH has been talking to the boys about creating their own individual style. We took them shopping to buy a couple of outfits that represent themselves as individuals. I was able to get a few shots of ‘A’ showing off his new duds. Will get ‘R’ a little later. (‘R’ is the baggy shorts, graphic […]

Beginner Sewing Class at Meissner
Posted in MISC. on Mar 16th, 2013
I began a new class at Meissner Sewing Center in Rocklin. There are only three women in the class, which is terrific! Our first project was making a pillow case. I love how we did it. The finished product looks so much nicer than I expected.
Spring-ish Day with New Friends
Posted in MISC. on Mar 2nd, 2013
A new family has just moved up from southern California and joined our homeschool group. Her kids hit it off with mine and she and I share many interests. She was kind to invite us to her house with a couple other friends of ours, and enjoy their lovely property, view, and company. The kids […]
My Journey into Sewing
Posted in MISC. on Mar 2nd, 2013
About six months ago, I discovered some websites that inspired me to want to learn to sew. These sites focus on “refashioning”, taking old, dated clothing and transforming them into something cute and contemporary. Before my mom died, she bought me a beautiful machine; one that has (almost) all the bells and whistles. We had […]

My friend Crystal was asked to speak at a President’s Circle dinner for William Jessup University. Since her husband was away on business, Crystal asked me to join her for moral support. The huge hall was transformed into a lovely intimate space. They had original art work hung over the curtained walls, live evergreens, and […]
A Treasure

I have a friend whose mother (who lives with them) is beginning to succumb to the unfortunate condition of Alzheimer’s. I was at their house recently, and even though we have known each other for three years, she no longer remembers me. She asked my friend to introduce me to her. I introduced myself and […]
Geared Up!
Posted in MISC. on Jan 30th, 2013
The boys received money from their grandparents for Christmas this year. They were able to use the funds to gear up for the next level in martial arts. They are so excited! We are still waiting for the uniform. It is a nice embroidered one that needs custom ordering. Big brother takes the first punch… […]

Extra Help
Posted in MISC. on Jan 30th, 2013
The boys were working hard to prepare for their next belt level in martial arts. The instructor mentioned to the class that if anyone wanted extra help preparing, they could ask a black belt for extra help outside of class time. The boys went on to ask Emily and Franklin. They met before class the […]
Happy Anniversary to Us
Posted in MISC. on Dec 23rd, 2012
We were sweetly surprised by our boys serving us breakfast in bed! They did everything themselves without our knowledge. Scrambled eggs, toast, yogurt, OJ, and coffee. What a nice way to start our 18th anniversary!
