LOL I'm so glad you have found a way to eliminate some health problems ... what a blessing! I'm doing okay, starting the last round of chemo next week. I had an MRI today on my brain to make sure nothing has spread there, and a PET last month to see what areas of concern there are now (not too much, and the chemo should finish it off), so by October, I hope to be pretty much normal life again. <br /><br />Right now, I read and eat mostly, visit with friends who come, and look at the flowers my son has growing for me, inside and outside. They are uplifting. It's been a long battle, but your posts have cheered me on many a day, and I'm thankful for the blessing of you.Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09159163720029661287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-8905811334593650562022-07-27T06:05:47.947+10:002022-07-27T06:05:47.947+10:00I, like so many of the others commenting, enjoy ea...I, like so many of the others commenting, enjoy each of your posts. Watching you grands growing is a treat. It sounds as though you have all recovered from COVID so thank the Lord for that. I just wanted to say that I’m certain you will love Emily Barnes book. She has blessed many of us here in SoCal, for many years. Living nearby, I’ve been blessed to hear her speak many times. I’ve always come away with nuggets to keep and apply. God bless you and your precious family.

I can tell they love their Nana too. So amazing to me to see your 'winter' with short sleeved shirts on the girls.....and things still growing in the garden!<br />My daily, weekly routine has been months interrupted, how I long for a peaceful day not spent reacting to urgencies. The visiting nurses have closed the case, and I found a series of books mum can read (large print) so things are calming down. But now we're ramping up again for John's wedding, and I have to find something to wear, which is seemingly impossible, lol. We all need new clothes. Except hubby - he'll be wearing the suit he got married in, lol!!!!<br />Thanks dear heart for a peaceful moment out of my day, reading about yours. Your pictures and descriptions do my heart good and give me rest. Love you so very much!!!!Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06877277586697593998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-59394752923660109042022-07-25T00:02:14.835+10:002022-07-25T00:02:14.835+10:00Dearest Jennifer ,
So lovely to read your post...Dearest Jennifer ,<br /> So lovely to read your post this morning. Looking forward to the new book study and pattern. We had a thunder and lightening storm last evening. And we got a lot of rain. Which we are happy o have as we were in drought status for a while. The herbs and tomatoes and lettuce or enjoying the benefits of the rain for sure. My daughter goes back to work teaching the first week of August teachers report. Will miss her each day as we have enjoyed our summer break immensely. I watched the video of the girls and their harmonica's. How adorable they are. They are so blessed to have you so active in their lives. Have a blessed coming week.<br />TammyTammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10572900779018937820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-84213968943407583032022-07-24T13:03:08.449+10:002022-07-24T13:03:08.449+10:00The girls always look so happy .

The grands will go back to school in a week. That leaves me with all of August and it's time to 'enjoy' summer while it's still with us. I've made out a list of 31 days of simple summer pleasures to indulge in all through the next month. In the meantime, I'll finish out July with work, work, work.terricheneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06865436021565986224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-64791664521635419502022-07-24T01:53:32.008+10:002022-07-24T01:53:32.008+10:00I always enjoy reading your blog posts because you...I always enjoy reading your blog posts because your life is so different from mine. Grandchildren (girls!) nearby so you can teach and share with them, a backyard garden, and crocheting. All such good stuff. I especially appreciate your comment about changes to your system since grinding your own flour. Wow! That's a revelation that makes me wonder if "it works" for everyone. I wouldn't like going to the effort and investment to learn it doesn't change a thing. But, I'm glad you did! What a nice, good-eating bonus for your body.

I am trying to get place mats done for granddaughter and her hubby to take when we go to Virginia next week. I knit hats for kids. I have two patterns going all the time. I knit when we travel; hubby is driving and I am trying to stay awake.<br />I have gotten three small cucumbers so far. The tomatoes are still very green. September is usually when I get tomatoes.<br />Have a safe day.<br />NancyNancy in INhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11068091015054046287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-12733169621566643122022-07-23T17:11:11.381+10:002022-07-23T17:11:11.381+10:00What a lovely day!

I so enjoy your posts and look forwar...Hi Jennifer,<br />I so enjoy your posts and look forward to all that you have to tell us. My husband and I are not living a very simple life right now as we are doing a lot of traveling even to Europe where we never have been. We’re vaccinated and bolstered and decided that as we are in our senior years (I can’t believe I’m 69) that if we didn’t go now we never would. But when I’m home simple is always better forme. This past week was spent teaching Bible school at out church. It’s always fun but exhausting being with te kids. I’m looking forward to your book study as Emily Barnes was one of my favorite authors when I was raising our daughter. I even got to see and meet her once when she came to talk at a church in my city. I have read all her books and felt so sad when she succumbed to the cancer that she had fought for years. Thanks again for all your wonderful posts and home encouragement. I love it!Bobbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12026846933556804215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-10761520458808546712022-07-23T01:59:45.577+10:002022-07-23T01:59:45.577+10:00The girls are getting so very big!!

You are all blessed that you live so close and that you get to be such a large part of their childhood! I love reading about your life, all that you accomplish as you go through your days. I keep dreaming of driving around the coast of Australia, but I think it will remain a dream. So I will continue to enjoy a peek at your little corner of Australia.Farm Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01670652033638218941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-69133512626862523402022-07-23T01:54:32.473+10:002022-07-23T01:54:32.473+10:00I do read all your posts but I know it's been ...I do read all your posts but I know it's been a long while since I commented. It's been a pleasure to see all the photo's of Cully May & Rafaella over the past few years, watching them grow up into 2 adorable little girls. And loved seeing them 'trying' to play the harmonica's - they must give you so much enjoyment when they come around to 'keep you company' haha.

We may live in the same country, but temperature-wise, it's a world away. <br /><br />I love that you spend time with your grandies potting plants to take home and making pizza. My kids used to love doing these exact same things when they visited with my mum (it'll be a year next week that she passed away and I miss her very much).<br /><br />Enjoy your lovely cooler weather and your crochet time this weekend :)Anorina @SameliasMumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01210287822137630366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-89167711603706344382022-07-22T17:09:59.374+10:002022-07-22T17:09:59.374+10:00Hi Jennifer,

I'm learning here as well :) <br />A house keeping tip to all :)<br />Check your toilet brush brush when cleaning. Our toiltet bowl brush brush broke off and disappeared down in the toilet ! Luckily it didn't go further in to the plumbing through the house. My handy man husband was able to find it by removing the toilet from the floor and going in the other side. Happily we have two toilets :) All is well !<br /><br />Your Winter meals look like what we enjoy in the Summer :)<br />Great job posting that youtube video ! Link worked !<br /><br />Have a great weekend !<br />hugs, take caaare,<br />JoanneJoannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367841239911239597noreply@blogger.com
