We’ve been at the cabin since last Friday afternoon, almost a full week. And we are getting settled in. Some totes and boxes have been emptied and the contents stored. But, there are still many to open and put away. Despite that my husband and I made trips to Wausau to buy some upper cabinets…

Finally…Plants!
I’m at it again! Three days after we moved to our cabin, I had to grocery shop. But on the way, there is a Hardware Hank that sells plants from a greenhouse. I’ve bought plants from there before. Usually, at this time of year, they’re sold out and the greenhouse doors are closed. Luckily, when…
Slice of Life: Living in the Rural but Beautiful Northwoods of Wisconsin
We’ve only been here since Friday. ‘Here’ is at our cabin in north-central Wisconsin. We built the cabin in 2005 after purchasing the land in 2001. We own 2 acres of lakefront property on which we built a timber frame cabin. My husband designed the cabin by researching timber-frame homes, building a scale model of…
Preparing for a National Park Trip

Poetry Friday: A New Chapter
A Poem For New Adventures Fastly, the week went by. We packed. We scrubbed. We saw friends. We laughed. I almost cried but held it back. We closed on the sale of our house this morning. The last 24 hours were harder than I thought they’d be. So many memories in this house. Children grown….
Slice of Life: The Spice Rack
We’re moving … in three days. Three days is all we’ve got to finish getting out of our house! Yesterday I started working on the kitchen. I packed some kitchen essentials that went to the lake house already (where we are moving), and they actually got unpacked last Saturday. But, as anyone with a kitchen…

Actually, You Do Have Time!
A number of close friends and family do not read my blog. This frustrates me but I’ve given up on trying to convince them that it is a way to know what’s keeping me busy, what I am thinking about, what my passions are on any given day, and sometimes, what’s frustrating me. Reading what…
