I totally skipped over 2020 here on my blog, but unfortunately, as most everyone, I pretty well just got through 2020 day by day, and did the best I could. I am starting this year with new goals and aspirations. Updating and continuing my blog is one that is important to me and at the […]

It’s 2021 and I’m back.

  Our property is like a little hidden jewel.  Our neighborhood is located within ten minutes of Waverly, in the Dry Creek Cabin Site community. This area was surveyed into approximately 60 large lots, by the Tennessee Valley Authority in the 1950’s and the lots were auctioned off.  The community stretches over several acres and […]

Our front entrance.

From the first time that I told Frank that I wanted to do a pergola on the back of the house, it was a battle.  I had planned since last November to have a bridal shower here for my daughter Kasie, and wanted to have it under a pergola.  Frank, in no way was in […]

The Pergola

I don’t know about you, but March is definitely one of my most favorite months, especially this year.  This winter has been very long and very cold, and I am over it.  Anyone that knows me, knows that I do not like the cold, at all!  When it’s cold outside, I am not motivated to […]

Making Plans

It is January 17, and twenty years ago today the weather was much like it is right now. It was dang cold, with temps around the 18 degree mark, which made heating the little stone church at Montgomery Bell State Park, in Dickson, TN, a little difficult. Frank’s college buddies were in charge of filling […]

Twenty and counting.

Christmas is the celebration of Jesus’s birth and his gift of love for each and everyone of us. With everything being so commercialized these days, it is sometimes hard to put it all aside and remember what Christmas is all about. Frank and I, have a Christmas Eve tradition of going to a candlelight church […]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

I’ve known for several months that I needed to post on my blog.  Life is so busy and I haven’t taken the time to slow down long enough to do it.  So today, I am telling you all, that it is my new goal to post at least twice a month.  Now, someone PLEASE hold […]

It’s good to have goals.

One Saturday morning, we looked out of our back window and saw this large group of white pelicans fly into our little cove and begin fishing.  I slipped down and zoomed in my camera and filmed them swimming all bunched up together, and watched as others flew in and joined them. It was a magical […]

Living in the Projects

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve found time to write.   During that time, things have been moving along sort of like the tortoise, slow and steady.  But life still happens and you have to make time for family, work, and everything that comes along with it.   When doing the demo on the […]

Blessings on and in our house.

My favorite bible verse is Proverbs 3:5-6.  Trust in Jehovah with all they heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding: In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he will direct thy paths. Frank and I aren’t the most “religious” people you will meet, but our relationship with our heavenly father comes first and is […]

Keeping my eye on the prize.
