My So Called Leisurely Day…

Posted on 17 December 2008 by generationsgoneby

I think I have forgotten how to goof off. When I stayed home, I could take hours to piddle, but now I am so used to going, going, going that when I have time to piddle, I can’t seem to do it. My plan for this week was simple. Wednesday, paint baseboards, genealogy…Thursday, clean downstairs, [...]

The Program

Posted on 16 December 2008 by generationsgoneby

Well, we had our program today and it was beautiful! It’s so awesome to see the kids who came to us so young, now singing on stage just 4 months later. They sang their little hearts out. I was so proud of them.
The ladies who run our music program work so hard and I [...]

While [...]

God, I Love Having Teenagers

Posted on 28 November 2008 by generationsgoneby

I have always decorated our front yard for Christmas. Full Nativity, lights on the porch, the whole nine yards. It’s usually a three to four day effort to get everything out of the attic, plugged in, lights tested, wired, taped…
But this year, the kids and friends brought every thing down, set it out, [...]

Christmas Shopping for Teenagers

Posted on 20 November 2008 by generationsgoneby

Now it used to be so easy when #1 and #2 were children. A month before Christmas I’d take them to preschool and I’d go to Walmart and get a baby doll, a power ranger, some Christmas lights, a turkey, a few winter clothes, and I was done Christmas shopping. I was usually out [...]
