Book Sale Day
Today is one of our most favorite holidays: Book Sale Day. Ok, so it’s not exactly a national holiday. Or even a day that anyone else recognizes as a holiday. However, we have adopted it as our own personal family holiday. We have the… Continue Reading “Book Sale Day”
Christmas Joy
EJ and I had a nice Christmas together. After years of struggling with Christmas, we have intentionally created a Christmas that we enjoy. He had four days off from work. The weather has been warm with rain and fog instead of snow. I like… Continue Reading “Christmas Joy”
Oh, Christmas Tree
I wasn’t planning to write for a few days because I know everyone is busy with the holidays. However, I was cuddling Little Bear and meandering through Christmas memories and thought up this true story.: I used to love decorating for Christmas. I had… Continue Reading “Oh, Christmas Tree”
Christmas Eve Eve
Last Tuesday our bread machine died. EJ discovered it after he measured the ingredients into the loaf pan and turned the machine on. It whirred a bit but didn’t work. He was able to rescue the ingredients and make bread the old-fashioned way; it… Continue Reading “Christmas Eve Eve”
My Hanukkah-mas Story
The weather warmed and all our snow disappeared. However, it began to snow early this morning and now I’m looking out the window at a beautiful snow-globe landscape. Occasionally the wind whips up the snow so it looks like the planet Hoth from the… Continue Reading “My Hanukkah-mas Story”
The Weather Outside
I hope everyone had a Christmas filled with love and peace. I also pray that you all safely made it to your Christmas destinations and home again. The weather outside was frightful for much of the USA. I heard some Media calling it “THE… Continue Reading “The Weather Outside”

Light of the World
I came across this beautiful video in early December and I wanted to share it with you. My daily prayer is that in this season and throughout the year, we all experience the true Light of the World that shines in the darkness.
HOLIDAYS
I hope you all had a very nice Christmas despite the challenges of this year. We have had a Koselig holiday season. Koselig is a concept that is deeply rooted in Norwegian culture. It is the feeling of coziness and being comfortable. It is about… Continue Reading “HOLIDAYS”
Merry Christmas
Whatever is beautiful. Whatever is meaningful. Whatever brings you peace and joy. May it be yours this Christmas holiday and throughout the coming year.
Merry Christmas & Happy Hanukkah!
I hope your holidays are filled with peace and joy Our friends, who are really our “adopted” family, sent us an Instant Pot for a gift. We received it a week or so ago, and we’ve been having a wonderful time with it. It’s… Continue Reading “Merry Christmas & Happy Hanukkah!”
A Dalek Holiday
This year Christmas and Hanukkah occur at the same time. We wish you all a Merry Christmas or a Happy Hanukkah, filled with love and laughter! EJ is off work for the holidays until after the new year. JJ had to work until… Continue Reading “A Dalek Holiday”
The Big Bad Wolf
At the stroke of midnight on Christmas Eve, a huge wind storm blew in. It buffeted our house, reminding me of the Big Bad Wolf who huffed and puffed to blow the house down. Our house didn’t blow down but sometime in the night… Continue Reading “The Big Bad Wolf”
