  • Birdseed Waffles

    Scotland woke up this morning requesting pancakes. In keeping with our “Enjoy Cleveland” week, I thought, why not? So we headed downstairs,  tied on some aprons and had at it. We made a slight digression from pancakes  to waffles when I found a recipe I had printed out a few weeks ago for multi-grain waffles…

  • I'd love your support

    Just wanted to give a shout out to any Clevelanders. I’m giving part of the sermon at our church this Sunday. I’d love your support, if you can come. The meeting starts at 10:45. The chapel’s address is 32895 Cedar Rd. Hope to see you there!

  • Eek! Japanese-inspired Felt Food

    A few months ago I purchased this book: Yes it’s in Japanese, and yes that is intricately sewn felt produce. I’m not sure what possessed me, but I’m obsessed. (And fortunately, so is Scotland!) I purchased the felt online tonight, a wood blend from Prairie Point Junction, as our local Joanns’ felt was limited and…

  • Enjoy Cleveland Week

    We’re down to 16 days.With all the “to-do’s” behind us, besides packing. We’re left with one “free” week. To reward ourselves for our proactive diligence we’ve dedicated this week: Enjoy Cleveland Week! Reading time by the fire set the tone Saturday and Sunday night.  Monday we were thrilled to wake up to an absolutely stunning…

  • Adding a little sun to my hair

    My sisters and I had a highlighting party over Christmas. I was ultra conservative and the slight lightening we added, was only noticeable to me. Now, a few months later, I looked at my hair and moaned at its drab, flat quality. Oh, how I’d love a bit more dimension. Certainly I could do it…

  • Loving Rain: One

    I’m determined to conquer Seattle’s rain and gray. Here’s my first proactive attempt.  Here’s the most obvious starter: Maybe I should set a goal to learn the choreography to this song, and perform it live before I leave Seattle- Hah! Why not?! (I’m thinking of starting a rainy day soundtrack- send your favorite rain songs…

  • Blogging- stepping it up

    Every few months I get this overwhelming urge to blog more seriously. It started yesterday and now at 3:00 AM I find myself jazzed and unable to sleep. I must write. Last night, Tom helped me install Google Adsense and VigLink. During nap hours and late into the night I poured over articles about increasing…

  • Twenty-seven

    Happy birthday from my nephews Dallin, Bryce, and neice Claire! Yesterday, I turned 27. I can’t say the age feels particularly significant. Though, its placement in the year seems poignant- considering the changes that are sweeping over us. I guess 27 is a more appropriate age to learn to drive in Seattle traffic, to take…

  • Come hear a prophet's voice

    Ever wonder why God blessed the Earth with prophets during bible times, but not now? I believe He still does. Come hear a prophets voice this weekend and see for yourself!

  • Friends

    I’ve been reminded of the blessing of friends this week. I returned to teaching after a week off for spring break (Though it felt like a month) and was delighted to catch up with my students. They are so dear to me. I loved meeting Olivia’s new puppy hearing about Bill and Katie’s trip to…
