How to Make My Scholars Smile

I love to see my children smile.  With 10 out of the 14 at home it can be challenging to keep smiles on their faces.  Not to mention the eight scholars who rather find anything to do except school. 

I  had to take Hubby to work today and needed to pick something up for lunch.  So I decided on veggie sandwiches.  Yep, it put a smile on their faces!  We all love, veggies but they can be so expensive.  Instead of using french bread I decided to use pita bread.  I use to buy pita bread all the time...so delicious with sloppy joes.  (I don't remember the reason why I quit buying it, except maybe the expense of it.)

Anyway, when my "little elves" helped unload the groceries they wanted to know if it was lunch time! :-)  We demolished two orange peppers, one red and yellow pepper, one and a half cucumbers, 5 Roma tomatoes, which as not enough...what was I thinking?!?!  I
sliced  eight ounces of mushrooms--used only half, a half tray of alfalfa sprouts, and half of a small onion.  We used eight ounces of cheese of between cheddar and Monterey jack. I opened a new jar of mild pepper rings and there is less than half in the jar as I type.  We also used lettuce, homemade ranch dressing, and of course pita bread.  Son #5 ate FIVE pita halves!!!!

Mercy!  But it was worth it all to see their faces light up!  I have a great bunch of kiddos!

My Mother's Gentle Love

My Mother's Gentle Love by Ron Hamilton Who puts a band-aid on my knee? Who holds me close so tenderly? Who always sees the best in me? There’s no one like mother. Who always wipes my tears away? Who tells me I’ll be great some day? Who cares in such a gentle way? There’s no one like mother. My mother’s gentle love, my mother’s gentle love Has taught me of God’s tender care, and turned my eyes above. I’ll bless her all my days for all her gentle ways. Oh, how I thank my Lord above for my mother’s gentle love. Today is my mother's viewing, and tomorrow is her funeral.  The song above so much describes my mom.  She loved her four children so very much!  Before she had children, she was a nurse for "special care" babies~~"old" term for NICU.  Once she started having children she gave  up her career to stay at home and raise her own babies. Thanks, Mom! Thank you, Daddy, for allowing Mom to stay at home and raise us four children! My mother and her mo

Life....

Busy.  That seems to describe life in our home.  Just day to day busy.  Nothing really noteworthy.  Life moves on.   Let me think, since I last posted.... well, let me back up to about a month before my last post.  Daughter #6 got married in October of 2022...today Son #7 got married.  So, I have gained another son and another daughter! Our youngest graduated from high school in May and our oldest grandchild graduated the following day!  From our oldest child to our youngest, we have 33 years of education. (I'm tired just thinking about it!!) Still only 13 grandchildren.  Hubby is still in education.  I keep things going on the home front.  I help out the families where and when needed.  I still make cards for the card ministry that I have been doing for 19 years.  I still crochet.   That about sums up life at this point.  Have a wonderful day!
