Mikel is Number One Son’s sweet wife, and she is a woman after my own heart. She loves to decorate for Christmas. We stopped by their home a few days ago, and I had to get Trusty Camera. In the midst of practicing and singing in the church’s Carols’ presentation, she found time to display […]
Each year I can get bawl-eyed when I put out Christmas decorations. Here are just a few of my favorite Christmas things. Oh, there are many more, but…. This year I put an arrangement on the bench in our “entry”. I do not think I have ever decorated this space before, and I think I […]
Maybe there could be a Christmas song that would go something like this: Deck the trees with jewels and babbles Fa-la-la-la-la–la-la-la-la Sweet Mother of Pearl. That is exactly what three of my friends have done. They have created beautiful Christmas trees from jewelry – pearls, gems, gold, silver, beads, and rhinestones. They have used bracelets, […]
This is not something new, but it is something new for us and Pretty Baby. Fisher Price makes a Little People Nativity Playset. I first learned of this playset when The Queen of Everything bought Fisher Price Nativity Playsets for her grandchildren. I wanted one then, but I didn’t have a reason to buy one. This […]

In 1927 more rooms were added to the red brick schoolhouse. At that time, people […]
I just couldn’t do it. I couldn’t hang my beautiful wreath that Super Sister made for me on the outside door. That wreath is so special, and…. Bottom line – I didn’t want it outside. But where was I going to put it? I wanted it someplace where I could see it and enjoy it. The […]
The colors of fall are ablaze. In our little neighborhood, the yellow, orange, and red leaves are glistening. Seeing the gorgeous trees along Campbell Road left me with a sense of awe. Then I was amazed at what I found as I drove the alleys and streets in our little neighborhood. Golden yellow leaves shimmer […]
An additional blessing of volunteering at Buckner is meeting volunteers from other churches. It is fun and rewarding to sort shoes and hear the stories of how these shoes impact lives around the world, but it is an added bonus to hear the stories other groups have to share. On this day, a group of students […]
Mostly by Excellent Cook Nancy. Tonight I feel blessed, inspired, and challenged. On this Sunday morning in the Living Stones Bible Fellowship class, Sara from Neighbor’s Table shared her personal journey of discovering her life’s calling. By identifying her spiritual gift of evangelism and prayerfully intepretating it in her own life, she has created a ministry […]
I love the blog Housepitality Designs. If you haven’t visited it, do check it out. Shirley posts beautiful pictures of her lovely home. Back in October, she posted a blog – Fall Tablescapes and Vignettes where she shared pictures of her previous fall displays. They were all gorgeous. There was one small display on a […]
