First day of cutting rice
It’s that time of year again. I can feel the excitement in the air, it’s the first day of cutting rice. Dad is in the combine and my brother Robert is driving the auger cart. The boys are about to jump out of the window they are so excited to ride. Dad picks up the boys […]
Just call me a hole digger, burying person
I feel as though death has taken up permanent residence in our home…. In the past 6 months I’ve had more deaths than in the past 6 years; 2 grandparents, 1 pregnancy, 1 dog, 1 kitten, several chickens, tons of chicks and lots of fish. Just this week 3 deaths (1 chicken, 1 kitten, 1 […]

Continued from Post Molar Pregnancy
Continued from Post Molar Pregnancy ..I struggle as I try to figure out the lesson behind this all. What am I supposed to learn from this? Why did God test me like this? During Pop-po’s funeral services, I was utterly astounded by the love and support from so many that loved my dear Pop-po and us. […]
Post Molar Pregnancy
It’s been two months since my extraction from the molar pregnancy and the death of my grandfather. Two very fast months. Two months since my life would change forever. I think I might actually be able to write about it now. I am writing for my own healing, some of it is a little raw […]
Menu Plan Monday
It’s time to get back into menu planning after my extended break from blogging. I am physically feeling much better and like eating and cooking again so that’s a good thing. If the past two weeks have taught me anything it that life is fragile and to appreciate it more. I just assumed I would […]
A Pillar in our Family
Tomorrow we lay to rest one of the greatest men I have ever known. He was a pillar in our family, so strong, smart, loving, silly and perfect. Yes, I said it. Perfect, he was and still is a perfect man in my opinion. He lived a long and full life, with a wonderful wife […]
Cell phone free tractors
The boys will be happy for days, since we got to go ride on the tractors. Poppy and Pop-po were plowing up their rice fields to prepare for this year’s crop. And of course we took full advantage of the tractor rides. For some reason I find it funny when farmers (aka my dad and grandpa) always […]
A Tractor Birthday Party
We celebrated the boy’s 3rd birthday last weekend with a tractor themed party. We rented this “train” that you pull behind a lawnmower. Really that’s all they needed, they could have ridden this thing all day, it was a hit. We also had my niece’s bouncy house. and a tractor tire full of corn, and […]
A day at the Rice fields
I am glad I know a few, good, hard working men in my life. You know the kind that drive big tractors, combines and trucks. The hardworking, sweaty kind. The kind that don’t mind getting dirty or a little physical work. The kind that have callused, dirt, engraved hands. The kind that wear wranglers and […]
