Yesterday Hubbin found a marinade for venison and put it together, then marinated the venison steaks in it for twenty-four hours. Last night he grilled the marinated steaks and they were AMAZING! I give credit to Jessyca Sortillon for this recipe (thank you!). We added a bit more, but the basic recipe is hers. The... Continue Reading →

My Not-So-Green Thumb
I've killed my squash plant. Well, *I* didn't kill it, aphids did. I kind of feel responsible though - I probably should have done more than throw water at it occasionally. I really thought it was just wilting from the triple digits we've been experiencing, but after the last rain which came down in buckets,... Continue Reading →
It’s Tuesday. No, It’s Thursday…
Somewhere in this week I lost a couple days. Looking back, I did not believe I'd been that busy but thinking about it, *sigh* yes, I have been. Easy to lose track of the days, I think, when I've got nowhere to be on any given day. A lot of busy work doesn't make it... Continue Reading →
An Evolving (Revolving?) Budget
It's almost midday now; I've watered the lawns and the garden, harvested another tomato and bell pepper, fixed breakfast, cleaned up the kitchen, handled a medical billing issue, and done a load of laundry. Now to deal with today's topic, Our Budget. Our finances are in lockdown. That means that we are not eating out... Continue Reading →
Tackling Things on My Own
Today I'm tackling house issues. One of the problems with having been so independent for so long is that it makes it difficult to ask for help. But if I do, then the "What if's" set in. What if they don't do it the same way? What if they don't make it a priority? What... Continue Reading →
Monday, Monday
It seems as if my thoughts, my day, and my life could be reflected in a song, and today's song lyrics are no exception. "Monday morning, you gave me no warning, of what was to be...." Today will be about catching up on all the things I put off this weekend so that I could... Continue Reading →
To Hermit, or Not to Hermit…
Today is one of those days where I simply want to take it easy. It has been a crazy few weeks, but I've gotten so much done that I want a breather before getting back into it. I can start up again tomorrow: laundry, writing, my part-time business, gardening, and meal-planning will all vie for... Continue Reading →
Vital Tools for A New Home
I've compiled a list of vital tools (and gifts) for a new home, based on my (lack of) experience: 1. A toolbox. This doesn't have to be fancy or huge.2. A hammer. You’d be surprised at just how often one of these simple tools comes in handy! Sometimes the heel of a shoe just doesn’t... Continue Reading →
Another Summer Storm
This morning I am out on my patio amid a Summer Storm that carries a "Severe Thunderstorm Warning" from the National Weather Service. "Seek Shelter" they say, so here I am, sheltered and watching God do what God does. And it is truly impressive! The lightning show far surpasses any fireworks, and the rolling thunder...
