Weekend News

Some of this and a little of that
I’ve been really into making (and eating) applesauce lately. It’s one of my favorite summer-time foods and you just can’t get the good stuff here. So I make it. And the last time I made it, I also got to … Continue reading

We’re coming home (only for a visit, of course)
We’re less than a week away from setting our feet on the soil of Indiana. I can’t wait! It’s nearly 11 months since I was home for my Dad’s birthday and almost 13 months since Mark’s been home. Are you … Continue reading

Fall’s a-comin’
I’m loving the bits of fall creeping into my days here and there: the colors popping up outside, the cooler breeze (which never leaves, really, but still feels different), the sun coming up at a reasonable hour. And we have … Continue reading
