My Day

Packing


  I really don’t like moving much. Unfortunately, I do have plenty of experience with it though! Yesterday morning Roy and I headed to town to try to find boxes of some sort to pack our things in.

Peaceful Sunday

Numpoong was making a basket, Thunduh was making a scarf, Travis, Ahmesow, and Memewah were weaving, and Meme and Pawkuhmooeydee were learning to crochet, while…read more.

Hidden Blessings


  Yesterday was one of those days that try men’s souls…or women’s in this case. During the last week, I sprained my ankle…think I already told you that…I got the flu, then a cold, then a sinus infection, then a really bad cold sore, and then yesterday my back “went out”. I have not had…read more.
