Breakfast in Bed
Our eldest daughter surprised us this morning with breakfast in bed. She came up with the delicious menu on her own, making scrambled egg, french toast, and orange juice. Our St. Lucia even took the time to decorate the trays. It was a wonderful and relaxing way to begin a Sunday morning. She is such a…

Read MoreChores
I have had a few friends ask me about chores. We cannot afford to pay someone to come into our house and help clean it. Even if we could, I don’t think that I would.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving, thanks to family near and far. My father-in-law arrived at our house early in the morning with some stuffing for our turkey. He visited for a little while before heading to the cemetery to visit my mother-in-law’s grave. After he left, I called and spoke to my dad. Then, we…
