Wednesdays with Words: Sawdust in our Souls
If you have been reading my blog for a while, you might remember that my friend Heather and I were reading through Sally Clarkson’s Own You Life a while ago – a year? two years? (she’s since moved her blog!) I don’t really remember. It’s been a while. I keep looking at Own Your Life…
The Simple Woman’s Daybook for Monday, September 12, 2016
For Today… Monday, September 12, 2016 Looking out my window … the sky looks like my son described a similar day recently, “It looks like someone took a single color and painted the whole sky with it.” I am thinking … about the rest of our day – piano lessons, grocery store, and dinner without Daddy. I…
Our Weekly Amble for August 19-September 2, 2016

The Good Master by Kate Seredy My rating: 4 of 5 stars Own. We read this book as our “Fun Novel” at the end of Whatchamacallit (Circle Time, Morning Time, Morning Basket, Symposium, Whatchamacallit). I loved the beautiful writing, thoughtful story, and many of the ideas presented. I was disappointed by how Romani were portrayed…
Wednesdays with Words: Leisurely, carefully, painstakingly
With Uncle Sandor and the sheperds to help him, there was very little for Father to do. One morning he brought in his woodworking tools. “We need some new chairs, Mother,” he said. Jancsi helped him find well-seasoned, dry maple planks in the woodshed. Uncle Sandor shook his head and smiled. “So you still make…
