A journal sharing our renovation projects, faith, ups, downs and anything else we feel like talking about
…one is silver and the other gold.” I remember singing that verse in Brownies (you are a Brownie before you are a Girl Scout. Unfortunately, I did not have the “sharing” spirit, so I never made it to Girl Scouts )wondering what in the world it meant. Unfortunately, it has taken my 23 years [...]
Viv and I were going through the two huge piles of mail and other junk sitting on the counter today and we came across our expired coupons, from the governement, to purchase two tv converter boxes. I remember seeing a post from Drew Ward on the same subject. I was curious to see if the government decided [...]
Since we have not done a whole lot with the new bungalow rent house we purchased, we decided to go over there today to clean up, paint and plan the next stage for this house. I painted the dining room and then, somewhere in there, I got bored and took my new SLR camera around [...]
