The family home

Here we have the front porch of a fine old farmhouse.
You might recognize the gentleman here, being struck by a broom from his loving wife.
I’ve always admired Grandpa Walton.
He had plenty or reason to miserable, having had to work hard all his life, being penniless in his old age, having to live with one of his children, and having a wife that was constantly calling him an “old fool”.
But instead, he chose to always be the cheerful character of the family. He focused on how fortunate he was to live where he did, and to be surrounded with those who he cared so much for.
So, let us learn by his example.
Hug those in your life who are nearby, whether they want it or not.
And, find that special place in the country… it can be life changing.
If you’d like, occasionally, take a nip of the recipe.
For health reasons, of course.
And be ever so thankful, for the gal in your life with the broom.
Be extra thankful that it’s not a cast iron pan that she swings.

Simple living and life priorities

Most new homes today are so comfortable… are so distracting… that we miss out on what is truly important.

In some ways a modest cottage can hold more blessings for us than a McMansion could ever hope to provide.

Yeah, it’s a nice place…
But, think how far they have to drive to get to the nearest Walmart!
Those poor people.

The noise… the noise

I’ve heard it said that if we could find ourselves magically transported back in time that we would find our sense of smell overwhelmed… from the fires, the natural materials, the herbs, the animals (and the deposits they leave behind), and from the people themselves who did not bath frequently.
And that those folks of the past, if transported to our time, would be equally impacted by the constant noise of our world.
