Expanding our Vegetable Garden
It's been a bit busy around here lately. The Colonel went back to Ft. Dix yesterday. We had a great 2 days off. He worked very hard on our garden, but it's still not complete. We didn't put any plants in the ground because there's still the possibility of frost a few nights this week. The […]
Tips on Starting my Seeds Indoors
This is what the corner of our bedroom looks like... Basil growing on the windowsill. I have lettuce growing on another windowsill in the hallway! Cucumbers, green beans, sugar snap peas and squash... Pumpkins and tomatoes. I really need to get the pumpkins in the ground, they are so huge! And finally, my marigolds. […]

The Resurrection... After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His […]
Good News
Olivia and I just returned from seeing her specialist, well after a few stops. The news so far is pretty good. The specialist does not think she has lupus. Which was one of the concerns. She has not completely ruled out any form of arthritis until the blood tests come back. That could be another […]
Did You Know???
I had to go into the kitchen and check this out for myself. Who looks at the end of your aluminum foil box? You know when you try to pull some foil out and the roll comes out of the box, then you have to put the roll back in the box and start over […]
Happy Birthday Michael
Michael! Today my son turns 12! What joy he has brought to this family. Here he is opening one of his birthday presents. We celebrated on Monday since the Colonel was home for the long weekend. He loved all his presents, especially his very own cell phone. He didn't know what it was when he […]
Spiritual Sunday...
I love this song. This week was a hard one for me with my back pain. I kept thinking about this song and calling on the Lord to give me rest from the pain. I'm happy to report the terrible, "stop-me-in-my tracks" pain is gone. I know I will continue to live with pain but […]
A Bouquet of Thorns - Devotional
As promised, I'm going to spend this week sharing the devotional I gave at our Mother/Daughter Tea in 2007. I spent most of Saturday going over it, changing it, fixing it, etc. Here is Day One...

Ice Storm
Here are some pictures of the ice storm we had last Wednesday. It was quite hard to take pictures since everything really was a sheet of ice. I had to practically hold on to Michael to get around. I'm so old! 20 minutes of TRYING to break up the ice...I gave up! Oh, and WHERE […]

Something to Think About at Christmas
Here's something to think about during the Christmas season. Something to Think About I have no idea where I originally found this poem or who even wrote it. But I still wanted to share it with you today because it is something to think about as we enter the Christmas season. Santa lives at the […]

My Weekend...
How was your weekend? Here at the Christensen household it was pretty good...even if the Colonel couldn't get away. I spent a good part of Saturday running errands, finishing up some decorating at church...the nice part was that Michael came with me! Maybe it was because we had to get his hair cut and then […]
Recipes
First and foremost, thank you BETH, BECKY and JEN for becoming followers. I was so happy to see your lovely faces join my other followers. I told the Colonel about my post from yesterday and how no one had commented or joined and he said, in true Army fashion, "Take it down before you really […]

My Dining Room...
Good Morning! I thought I'd share some pictures of one of my favorite rooms in our house. I've always wanted a formal dining room...our house in Paterson had a dining room but it was open to the kitchen and I really didn't like sitting down to a nice meal while still being able to see […]

Psalms 27:4-6 One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple. For in the day of trouble he will keep me […]
School Update...
Well the kids came home and everything went very well today. Olivia loves her new school and so do I! It seems she has classes from 8:00 until 2:00 when she gets on the bus to come home. Nothing like the old high school where they had something like 2 hours of free time to […]
You Are Invited to a Martha Stewart Tea Party
Yes, my mom and I both received invitations to attend a Martha Stewart Tea Party at our local Macy's yesterday. We were so excited. Do you think Martha will be there? No, she wasn't...but someone who works with Martha every day was there and discussed the table settings, etc. We were told to dress in […]
My Garden...
My garden is doing really well, as you can see from the above pictures. I was a little concerned since we got the plants in the ground pretty late this year. We only planted three tomato plants. Usually we do around 6 or 8, but things are doing good, although as you can see from […]
Vegetable Garden
As promised, here are pictures of our vegetable garden. Last year I grew quite a lot of cucumbers and zucchini, not realizing that they would love to grow up the chicken wire fence enclosing the garden! The weight of the plants really damaged the fence so my husband took it apart last fall when we […]
