I really enjoyed teaming up with Cathy’s Creations for this giveaway. She donated this beautiful bracelet, and Hallee the Homemaker threw in one of her charms. We had 118 entries. Using random.org, the winner is:
Year: 2010
The calendar I have hanging on my refrigerator is an academic year calendar, which means that it runs from July through June. The only reason for this is because we closed on and moved into our house on July 2nd. By June, I’m antsy to start putting together a new one.
Up until now, the garden has just been in a maintenance state. Water it, weed it, and let it do its own thing. From now forward, though, it’s going to be something that I have to stay on top of. Another couple of weeks and I will just kind of keep my house in a maintenance mode and focus my energies on harvesting and preserving. The kids and I will start spending a whole lot more time outside and then in the kitchen.
Those of you who know me know that I don’t get emotional often. But this hit me so hard and I just started crying. I had to turn away and busy myself just to get a handle on it.
Here’s the menu for my family for the week of June 28, 2010. As far as desserts go, I have a house full of children (8 to be exact). We had a family reunion Sunday, so I have lots of leftover food, including a huge cookie tray. If I make anything, it will be with a 4th of July theme and later on in the week. Maybe some cupcakes.

The weekend after we met for the first time, Gregg confessed his love for me.
From 1972 until about 1999, more than 98% percent of all DNA, was called “Junk DNA” by molecular biologists who were unable to ascribe any function to it. Again, an argument from incredulity or an argument from ignorance, depending on the context.

I am thrilled to be partnering with Cathy of Cathy’s Creations for this month’s giveaway.
Cathy is an amazing artist. She is to beads what Mary is to yarn. She has a beautiful eye for color and elegance that can hardly be surpassed. I have several friends who have their own Cathy creations, and they were just as thrilled with the product in person as they were with the pictures on her website when they ordered them.
I have a new venture in my life. One recent morning in Sunday School, our teacher announced that our class would be one of four groups who would be volunteering with a local church’s soup kitchen. That immediately got my attention. I had no idea my little town in central Kentucky had a soup kitchen.
It dawned on me about 2PM today that my week is spiraling out of control.
