White Pumpkins

by KimOctober 6, 2009

This photo has inspired me to decorate with white pumpkins this year. The colors are so natural and not too dark for our coastal area. Maybe I’ll throw a starfish in to beach it up a bit. We get a little crazy with Halloween decorations around here, so I have a little time to browse [...]

A Grillin’ Weekend

by KimOctober 4, 2009

The mornings have been getting a little nicer around here and we’ve been able to really enjoy our coffee on the back porch again. The summer was so hot and humid that we didn’t spend too much time hanging out in the backyard. Since our house is small, the porch really opens up our living [...]

Is Respectable Language Dead?

by TimOctober 3, 2009

by TimSeptember 21, 2009

Kim just brought me a water. An hour ago, she was done with me. Such is life. You win some, you lose some, hopefully it works out in the end! It’s usually my mouth that gets me into trouble. If I would just hush, things might go better. Of course, it’s usually my mouth that [...]

I’ve been reading about cooler nights and changing leaves on everyone’s blogs. Well, thing are a little different in Florida, we don’t have changing leaves, just changing grapes. We are [...]

Free From the Fowler’s Snare

by TimJuly 14, 2009

We have escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare; the snare has been broken and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. Psalm 124:7-8 Yesterday, as I was once again putting forth great mental effort toward trying to “figure out” how to [...]

I Wish I Learned History Like This!

by KimMay 28, 2009

Did you know that we are one of “Those Homeschooling Families?” Yes, that’s us! When we first started homeschooling I bought exactly the books my oldest son would have been using in school that year. I didn’t want him to miss a thing. Well, that was an easy way to stress us both out! We [...]
