  2. I found your blog by way of bunny trail and enjoyed spending too much time here nosing around. You're delightful. I'm blessed by your willingness to be with your husband, keeping the family together while he does his traveling job.

    My husband travels as well but flies home on weekends. Our daughter is grown (still lives at home, blessed by that) and once she's married off (soon we're hoping!) and I hand over the keys to my replacement at the school (homeschool umbrella - i'm area administrator) in June, our hope is that I can travel with him a bit. Of course, $ comes into play here.

    Walnut Grove, Ca. ... *very* near my neck of the woods, by 15 miles to be exact. Small world.

    Be safe - blessed - and loved,

  5. I too love rust and columns...although I refuse to lick them. And I adore vintage playground equipment...but no licking there either.

    I love that dejected picture of your husband.

    Just made me laugh!
