A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words....

Here is a little slice of life from “Little Shouse on the Prairie”…

Some friends recently opened their own “Thrift &  Gift” shop and Miss Serenity, Maid Elizabeth and I whipped up a couple of batches of caramel corn for their grand opening.  Their opening weekend was a tremendous success – just what our small town needed!

Sir Knight, Master Hand Grenade and I spent a few hours on Saturday building a new raised garden bed.  We used oak timbers and incorporated the “butt & pass” method of construction.  Essentially, we butted the beams against each other and drove rebar through one beam into the other, then we added another layer (alternating the butt ends) and drove rebar through the ends again and also from the top layer through the bottom layer.  The end result – a raised bed that could take a direct hit!

This afternoon, God painted a beautiful sky for us to behold – a promise and a masterpiece!



And that, dear friends, is a little slice of our life.
