Q is for Quilting
I’ve been making quilts since about 1997 when I decided I needed to make something for a blank wall in my home. That first quilt was a small wallhanging made from a pattern I found in a magazine. I hand quilted the quilt but not having any concept of proper hand quilting technique, I “stab…

P is for Poznań, Poland
As I type this post, my older brother, Don, is on a plane headed for Poznań, Poland. I know about the country of Poland, of course, but hadn’t heard of Poznań before my brother told me he planned to spend a month near there. Have you heard of Poznań? Well, Poznań (according to Wikipedia) is the…

N is for North
North is a direction on the compass, of course, but here in Minnesota it means something else, too. North means Up North, as in “we’re going up North this weekend.” Oftentimes “going up north” means the same thing as going to “the lake.” Funny thing is, “north” and “the lake” don’t mean any particular area, it…

L is for LIFE.REVAMP.
Last week I finished a 6 week class called LIFE.REVAMP. The class was made up of a small group of people and led by an incredible woman named Amy Machacek. Twice a week we got together for an hour long session that started with a workout then followed that with a discussion on nutrition with a bit of life coaching added in. I first…

K is for Kids
Kids. My husband, Owen, and I have two kids (that’s two children not two young goats/aka kids). Rose is nearly 16 and Ryan turned 13 just today. I now have two teenagers in the house! I know I am biased, but I think both of my kids are pretty cool. I genuinely like them 🙂…

H is for Hugs
I’m a hugger. I love to give hugs and to get hugs. Interestingly, I didn’t grow up in a huggy sort of family. Maybe I like hugs because I didn’t grow up in a huggy family and I’ve been craving hugs because of it. Hard to say. I’ve made a point to hug my kids a lot…

G is for Garden
My writing friend, Selma P. Verde, posted a “G is for Gladiolus” blog for her A to Z Blogging Challenge and prompted me to write “G is for Garden” for my blog today. First of all, I love gladiolus (though I seldom plant them) and learned a few things about glads in Selma’s post. It’s…

F is for Faith Journey
I was thinking I would write about F is for Flying but decided instead to share a column I wrote about faith that I wrote for my church’s newsletter. So today is F is for Faith Journey. Last October, a “writers wanted” notice in The Bethel Banner, my church’s newsletter, caught my attention. Hmmm, I thought, I…

E is for Esophagus
I don’t think about my esophagus often. In fact, I don’t know much about it other than it’s in the neck and food travels through it. But the esophagus has been on my mind a lot lately because my Aunt has cancer of the esophagus. This morning (I’m writing this on Thursday) she had about two-thirds of…

D is for Drama
For the past several months, my life has been full of drama. Thankfully, the drama has not been of the emotional variety (well, not much of it has been – life always has some drama), it’s been drama of the theater variety. Rose, my daughter, and I have been involved in four different theater productions…
