“Attack of The Stuffed Bear”

The other morning, Gracie–our big, brave dog was reduced to puny and pitiful in an instant! She was resting peacefully in her bed when all the sudden out of nowhere she was attacked! Let me explain. –You see, Gracie sleeps in the living room–her bed is on the floor in front of [...]

“Where God guides, He provides…”

From today’s Our Daily Bread devotional:
“We walk by faith, not by sight.”–2 Corinthians 5:7

“Sassy Sarah…”

Kerry–Lack of Confidence–No Way!!

–I say to Kerry, “You are sooooo cute!” Kerry smugly says, “I know Mommy, I know.”
–Kerry sits down with me in the recliner, snuggles up to me and says, “Oh Mommy, you’re sooooo in love with me!!”

OK, It’s Sarah’s Turn…

Well, I guess I’ve told a lot of Kerry’s sayings, but not so many of Sarah’s. So here’s a couple:
–Sarah and Kerry were cleaning off the kitchen table; getting ready for dinner. Kerry kept talking to Sarah and asking her a lot of questions. Finally, Sarah turns to Kerry and quips, “Can [...]
