Celebrating Nine Years

“Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13‬:‭7‬ ‭ESV

We are blessed to have the opportunity to celebrate 9 years of blogging. After talking about it and thinking about it for quite a long time, we finally stepped out with our first post in early August, 2014.

Today’s post has a central theme and purpose…to say Thank You to our readers for your continued support and encouragement. We are humbled and grateful when considering the time you take from your busy everyday living to view our posts each week!

A throwback from 2014. Our posts have changed a lot during these 9 years, but of course, we look the same. Don’t we? (Please tell us we do!)READ MORE

Happy Tuesday sweet friends. It has been a year since I posted a This & That. It is past time to catch up!

“Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭17‬-‭18‬ ‭

Grab a cup of coffee or tea and find a comfortable chair as I share some memorable moments from everyday life in our Appalachian Foothills!

We love sunflowers and this is a favorite photo from last July. Our sunflowers will be blooming soon, and I am excited to see their bright yellow faces! Since RM’s retirement, he has had so many projects on his to-do list. He has done the bulk of the work in the garden, I just mainly weed and give suggestions!READ MORE

50 Golden Years

~ Anniversary, Everyday Living, Faith, Family

Thank you for joining us today as we share moments from February 23, our 50th wedding anniversary celebration. In the months prior, we had envisioned an intimate time with a small group of friends at a venue that would also hold a sweet memory. Our son, daughter-in-love and precious grands made dreams come true, as they chose to honor us by hosting an evening we will always cherish, in their home, which is not too far from ours. We now have 2 very special nights to remember…exactly 50 years apart!

“Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭2‬:‭24‬ ‭ESV‬‬

The afternoon of February 23, 2023 was warm, not unlike our wedding day in 1973. As guests arrived, we were able to greet many of them outside. READ MORE
