I Feel Very Strongly…

How in the world, you ask, did it take you three years to buy living room furniture! Well, there were extenuating circumstances. Let me explain. When we moved three years ago, after 15 years in the same house, most of our furniture was well worn, since it was not new when we bought it; we…

This cabin has been a haven for our family and remains one of our favorite places to kick back, relax, and reconnect as a family.

Lazy Cabin Days

    Early in our marriage Dan and I had a desire to find a cabin that we could rent and return to year after year. We had some specific things we were looking for – privacy was high on our list.  We didn’t want to stay at a resort with lots of business; we wanted to…

We had a delightful time with a leisurely dinner, lots of “catching-up” conversation, and some great laughs. I was reminded of the preciousness of long term friendships.

My husband is a great conversationalist. His secret? He actually talks very little, but he listens well and knows how to ask great questions. We’ve used this to our advantage during our planning weekends that we’ve written about in our book “Purposeful Planning”. I was recently asked for some of the questions we’ve used with our children…

I’m just now purchasing living room furniture and we moved here three years ago in July. No, we didn’t have old furniture that needed replacing – we actually had no living room furniture.

If you are anything like me you have many projects started and very few finished. I’m currently reading eight books that are all stacked, not-so-neatly, by my quiet time chair. I’m working on a photo album/slide show for my son’s graduation in the spring. I know you are all going to think I’m absolutely amazing to be…
