HVOR ELSKELIGE ERE DINE BOLIGER HEARE SEBAOTH.

MIN SIEL BE GIERER, IA LENGES EFTER HERRENS FORGAARDE; MIT HIERTE OG MIT KIOD RAABE MED FRYD TILDEN LEVENDE GUD.

THI EN DAG I DINE FORGAARDE ER BEDRE END TUSINDE IEG UDVELGER HELLERE AT LIGGE VED DORTERSKELEN / MIN GUDS

HIS; END AT BOE I DE UGUDELIGES

THI GUD HERREN ER SOL OG SKIOLD HERREN GIVER NAADE: OG /ERE, INTET GOOT NEGTER HAN DEM, SOM VANDRE I OPRIGTIG= HED.

HOW LOVELY ARE YOUR DWELLINGS HEARE SEBAOTH.

MY SOUL DESIRES, I LONG FOR THE GARDEN OF THE LORD; MY HEART AND MY CHILD CRY WITH JOY TO THE LIVING GOD.

BECAUSE ONE DAY IN YOUR YARDS IS BETTER THAN A THOUSAND, I'D BETTER CHOOSE TO LIE BY THE DAUGHTER'S BED / MY GOD

HIS; THAN DWELL IN THE WICKED

FOR GOD THE LORD IS SUN AND SHIELD THE LORD GIVES GRACE: AND /ERE, NOTHING GOOT HE REFUSES THOSE WHO WALK IN SINCERE= HEAT.

The above is the translation of my ancestors cross stitch that hangs in my mom’s room! Thanks to technology Charlie was able to translate in a few clicks of a button. The translation is beautiful and helps me to see the piece of art in a new light. 


Today was banking day. We closed out one of my dad’s bank…one that was extremely precious and special to him. A bank number that he has ha most likely since the day he was born. The teller didn’t treat us any differently, we didn’t get a gold star, or anyone fussing over us for closing the account. Truly what I have learned is what we believe to be special in this world is false. Family, friendships, love and peace are what is important. Not a red truck, Kia, or a bank account. In the end it is all material and you can’t take anything with you. I need to be reminded of this as we enter into a year of frugality! 


My mom. She is what matters. Her smile, her kind words, her gentle spirit, and her love for her children! After signing her name to 10 documents today (this is really hard for her since her memory fades under stress) she opted to have a bite to eat at. Chick Fil-A. We had great conversations and plenty of laughs. She is so much fun. It will be great when we can go out for fun instead of going to the bank….🏦 

I need to remember self care…I dropped her off and then went to get my nails redone. 

Ended the evening with my hubs, making dinner, preparing salads, watching the end of a series we had started, and finishing up my Birthday girls birthday shopping 🛍️ 

Back to work tomorrow. Here’s my birthday Capricorns!

Calling All Women

The Challenge: Have as many women as I can interpret what I meant by "Spending ever day looking for new ways to reinvent our relationship." Please leave your comments so that I know I wasn't speaking a foreign language with my spouse. Men, feel free to comment as well! I'm sure you will anyways. Conversation with hubby: Me: I have a New Years Resolution that I think would be fun for us, do you want to hear it? Man: Sure Me: I think every day we should look for new ways to reinvent our relationship? Man: What do you mean? Me: I just said what I meant. Man: No you didn't really explain what you mean, though. Me: You know, finding little things that would change our relationship...doing something each day. Man: That seems taxing! Me: Working on our relationship is work? Man: Yeah, I wouldn't know what to do. That's 365 days, you know. Me: There are calendars out there that will tell you things to do that are romantic! Buy one. Man: Yeah, but most of them are ...

Monday, when we got back from our anniversary trip, found a note on the counter that read: Suzanne called. Play group. Tuesday at 830am. Who would schedule a playgroup so early? Doesn't anyone sleep in? Let the kids find their own breakfast, and stay under the covers till they beg for lunch? Well, you know heat here in the summers, ranging around the 100's, makes us southerners wake up early in the a.m. to do the things we enjoy. When noon rolls around, we hull up in our homes, doors tightly shut, curtains drawn, trying to escape the BIG BAD (the sun appropriately named, right Spike?)! I guess that was not in the cards for us today! We spent the early morning hours playing at the park with pretty much everyone from Journey! Unfortunately around 10 a.m. the heat found us and forced us to retreat to Suzanne's house for some relief! We had a great time chatting, the conversation ranged from ovulation...and ended with ovulation. I think Micheal enjoyed the conversation as much ...

My latest obsessions….puzzling The week after Coyote made a surprise visit! It’s been awhile since I posted! I was just looking back on some posts and giggled so I think it is important to continue since posts tell the story of my life. These pictures were from our latest venture to Paso Robles to see Coyote! Mark, I, and Charlie drove to Paso Robles California in approximately 18 hours. We stayed three glorious days and drove home within the sametime frame. While we were there, we got to see Hearst Castle, visited San Luis Obispo, saw the ocean and tons of beached Sea creatures, ate amazing food, drank amazing coffee, visited a couple of thrift stores, art galleries, and was surprised to find a outdoor vending machine full of specialty meats and cheeses. We purchased a cheese that was literally black all the way through. It was so good and tasty. It had a wonderful lemon taste to it and was very mild. Our Airbnb was located on a Vineyard. Coyote, Kees, and Pharaday even came over and ...
