It’s great to home educate Comments (0)

We are back to homeschooling.  This time, though, Kristy and I share the teaching.  Kristy does Mon, Wed, and Fridays.  I do Tues and Thursdays.

Joy and Sorrow of Life Comments (4)

Have you been wondering what happened to me? I think our last few weeks could be summarized with the statement that “life happened”. It is with deep sorrow that I write about the death of my Father-in-Law, Earl P. Tocknell. Greatgrandpa was 91 yrs old when he died September 24th, surrounded by family members. Greatgrandpa … [View Details]

Just a little update Comments (0)

Wish I could say that cowboy number two was done, but that little fellow is still in the making.  He is going to be so cute, sitting on a rock, playing the banjo.

Kitty Fun continues Comments (3)

This is probably my favorite kitty out of my recent digitizing.   Eliana LOVES her new kitty sweatshirt and I think the photo where she looks down at the kitty and the kitty seems to look up at her is precious.  See those bangs on Eliana?  Well…. she didn’t have those last week!  Her brother decided … [View Details]

Our single daughter and her three children have been living with us while our daughter, Kristy, attended nursing school.
