03.27.21 Take your kids to church! by Megan Woodham

07.28.20 Who remembers using or doing this…..?

I will be 66 soon and Roy will be 70 in January. Our growing up lives were very different than the lives of those growing up now. We have memories of odd things in our past. Odd to those growing up now but very natural to us. I saw these photos recently and they brought… Continue reading 07.28.20 Who remembers using or doing this…..?

07.25.20 The new addition to our home and Roy’s new techy toys!

This blog post has been in the making for quite a while.

07.08.20 Decoupaging glass plates and plant pots

Today's blog post is about the last two things I know how to decoupage!  Reverse decoupaging glass plates first! I started out not doing too well with these. These two glass plates below were made for my daughter in law Amy.

07.05.20 Chauvin Produce Company 2020 June Update

I looked back at last year's Chauvin Produce Company blog post for the end of June and wow what a difference. Hardly anything that we are growing this year is nearly as big or healthy-looking like last year's was.  We are using seeds from a different company so since we are doing everything the same… Continue reading 07.05.20 Chauvin Produce Company 2020 June Update

07.01.20 Beautiful reverse decoupaged glass decoration or trivet – my favorite

If you've never decoupaged before you need to know the basics that go before the actual creation of a project.  Here's a link to that information:  DECOUPAGING BASICS While I was exploring what all can be decoupaged I learned about "reverse decoupaging."

06.06.20 Brain update

I don't think I have written about the wicked disease that is living in my brain in a while. I do really well for a few days and then the good times go away. Today I am able to write about it, so I will give an update. Lately, I've been experiencing a lot of… Continue reading 06.06.20 Brain update

06.04.20 Chauvin Produce Company 2020 – May Update

I truly had forgotten how much time and effort is needed to grow vegetables. And just when some are starting to ripen, the temperatures soar to the 90s which makes being out there really difficult. The only fruit that has required anything has been our blueberries. Since those are necessary for my brain health plus… Continue reading 06.04.20 Chauvin Produce Company 2020 – May Update
