love this


we have had a bountiful supply of strawberries from our little patch this summer. i had made a strawberry shortcake for some friends and myself and we have eaten lots of them with whip cream, princess's favorite. lots have gone in the freezer for smoothies. but i recently read another mommy blog and she posted about her strawberries. there was a recipe for a strawberry pie that looked simple and frankly sounded yummy.
so in the midst of all my packing today (did i mention we are bound for yellowstone this week?) i decided to use the remaining berries for this pie. the kids were excited and when hubby came home from work and saw it chilling he seemed a little excited too. i had never made a strawberry pie so i wasn't sure what it would turn out like.
after dinner hubby mowed, we dealt with the back-up sewage in the basement, and sat down for some pie. mapboy loved it!! chloe who loves all things strawberry picked the berries and whip cream out and left the rest. but hubby - he took one bite and said, "this is good. it reminds me of azars/bigboy!" hmm...not sure if that was good or not i asked. he said most definitely. that in fact his family, who owned their own restaurant, would often go there just for the strawberry pie. i was feeling pretty good. then, he picked up the phone to call his mom to tell her he was eating a strawberry pie just like azars.
boy.....he scored some points tonight!!
and thinks friend, for posting the recipe. it is now a favorite at the back door!!

2021 word: rhythm

 as i began to ponder all that i had learned about myself in 2020 i found amazing places of adaptability, leadership, and change.  those are great strengths and proved to be valuable in 2020, however those same things left me feeling a bit out of sorts, unanchored.  i know my life needs to find some grounding again.  i told my husband yesterday and a friend today that i am not looking forward to 2021.  no big plans. no vacations to look forward to.  several things are already cancelled and leaving some voids at work.  but really...there is nothing like being an incredible social person and realizing 2021 has a looming sense of loneliness when my girl takes on college. with this in mind, i knew i needed to find some ways to reclaim myself; putting space into my life filled with things that bring joy and peace.  there are things i need to continue changing physically, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally, yet discipline is not in my skill set.  it freaks me out.  constrains me lead

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f

the word...

new year.  new decade. new word.  i started the habit of choosing a word almost exactly a decade ago.  each year the word has evolved and helped shape the year. well, this year is quite likely the exception.  or at least i thought it was.  my usual yearly reflection takes me on a journey through the year where the word has evolved into something entirely different than the road i envisioned. and usually i am in awe of how God used that word. this year was strange.  looking back on the goals i set, i see failure, not awe.  now before you go and tell me i am not a failure, i did fail at the goals i set.  truly.  goal 1:  grow and develop in a healthy way.  nope.  ending the year with extra instead of less.  attempted, yet didn't follow through on many health plans.  goal 2:  grow spiritually through meditation, scripture reading, and community.  nope.  ending the year with little reading and loss of church community that grieves me deeply. late fall i started pondering thes
