Monday, February 14, 2011. 8220;Warm Fuzzies” and “Red Hot Flashes” Valentine’s Day Cookie Recipe. Warm Fuzzies" and "Red Hot Flashes". This is a sugar cookie recipe that has been handed down through several generations of women in my family. I have added my own twist when decorating these cookies for Valentine’s Day. I cover them with melted white almond bark (or sometimes white chocolate) and sprinkle with shredded coconut or "Red Hot" candies. Make and share these with LoVe! Gather ingredients.* *.

AN EMPTY NEST HAPPENS. One bird dropping at a time. Sunday, September 28, 2014. I am so happy to welcome my new son-in-law to our family! I wrote the poem below for our first littlebird and gave it to her the morning of her wedding. My very first little bird, ‘twas love at first sight. So soft was your skin, your eyes were so bright. I bundled you up, brought you home to the nest. And mothering you has been the very best! Through scraped knees and bee stings, and big ugly splinters,. Well THAT was awkward.

AN EMPTY NEST HAPPENS. One bird dropping at a time. Friday, May 23, 2014. Wax On.Wax Off. As I was flitting to and fro I decided I was going to discard the candle that was in the warmer and replace it with a new one. I turned it off…good thinking…but did not wait for it to cool so the wax could harden. Instead, I reached in and lifted it out, and while trying to place it on the bar to cool it slipped from my fingers. Uh-oh! Now, I had to stand there and watch it harden so that I could clean it up! You ha...

AN EMPTY NEST HAPPENS. One bird dropping at a time. Sunday, February 19, 2012. When my little birds were really little. Birds my mother-in-law.aka Namby.used to tie up a man's handkerchief into this "shape", and play a game with them. She would hold the hankie in her hand and pet it like "a little mouse" and when the little birds would come close to pet it she would make it "jump" up her arm. This, of course, has caused much laughing AND screeching over the years! Why this is an uh-oh. After a few minute...

AN EMPTY NEST HAPPENS. One bird dropping at a time. Tuesday, July 10, 2012. And all of heaven is dancing. Today our loss is heaven's celebration as my sweet friend, Sherri, has gone home to be with Our Lord. I will miss her greatly, but I know that I will see her again some day. I had the great privilege to have a little "one on one" time with her in May when I traveled to Minnesota to see her. I left her with this. I believe that God sends us angels here. To help us, walk with us, protecting those dear.

AN EMPTY NEST HAPPENS. One bird dropping at a time. Wednesday, October 9, 2013. My sisters and I spent the last several weeks by my dad’s side as his health was declining. He had gone back and forth several times from the hospital to the nursing home. He ended up in the hospital for the last time on Monday. He kept telling us “I quit, I’m tired of this game”. We knew his time here on earth was nearly complete. October 9, 2013 at 10:18 AM. October 9, 2013 at 10:18 AM. October 9, 2013 at 4:54 PM. You write...

THiStLeBiTs: Hmmmmm.....
http://thistlebits.blogspot.com/2011/07/hmmmmm.html
Tuesday, July 26, 2011. I want you all to know that I'm working on some new ideas! I've been pondering our need to be pampered a bit. I know that treats can lift our spirits. My last posts really embraced the idea of baking, decorating, and sharing those yummy treats! Now I want to move on to something more personal. Something just for you! But first.here's an update about me. Why must I always strive for something outside of my grasp? Where does this wildness come from? Am I addicted to "peacelessness"?

Wednesday, October 19, 2011. I went to conferences today with my middle school girles. They made me proud. Ryan stayed home with the little boys instead of going to conferences.

Friday, October 14, 2011. Thanks for the emails and comments of encouragement. I am blessed and thankful. He writes from his heart and w...
