Crazy Day

Posted in Family, and Photography

Project 365 – #167 Earlier this morning, I received a phone call saying that our Azure order would be in sometime this afternoon.  He would give me a call back once he had a more definite time.  We went on with our morning until I received the phone call saying that the truck would be at our pick-up location at 1:00.  Since I had several errands to run in that part of town, I decided to leave the house a little early.  (I didn’t want to do them after I picked up the order as it was over 100 degrees…

All Things Great and Small

Project 365 – #161 Isn’t it wonderful how the Lord is concerned about even the tiny details in our lives?  Today, I needed to find some things for the guinea pigs, so I could make some bedding.  (The shredded paper and other bedding is not working for us, so I needed to do something that would work better.)  I found out that Uhaul blankets with fleece over top work really well as cage liners.  I headed over to Uhaul, and once I told the gentleman why I was purchasing the blankets, he offered to give me a couple of used…

Introducing Rosita the Guinea Pig

Project 365 – #160 Guinea pigs are highly social animals, so they do best when there are at least two of them together.  When Munchkin adopted Choco, there was only one guinea pig, so we’ve been watching local boards waiting to see if any guinea pigs came up for adoption.  Yesterday, a girl from 4-H posted on craigslist that she had guinea pigs that needed a new home. We emailed back and forth for some time.  She offered to bring the piggies for Munchkin to examine.  We came home with Rosita.  That little tuft of white fur called out to…

A New Family Member

Project 365 – #157 Munchkin has really been missing her guinea pigs.  One passed away while D was deployed last time, and a few months later we needed to give up the other one for adoption due to our cross country move.  Since that time, she’s been wanting guinea pigs.  D and I held off for quite some time as I didn’t want the responsibility of taking care of another pet. Earlier this year, D told Munchkin that if she could show that she would be completely responsible for a pet, we would consider it.  She had to write up…

It’s Grilling Time!

Posted in Family, Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Photography

Project 365 – #148 Here in Arizona, we can grill pretty much year around, but the summer heat seems to beckons us to grill as it keeps the stove/oven from heating up the house.  I love tossing veggies on the grill either with some chicken (or other meat) or by themselves.  It’s fun to think of the grill as our outdoor kitchen and try to expand the possibilities of what goes on the grill. Technically, corn is a grain and not a veggie, but for all necessary purposes, we think of corn as a veggie.  I like to boil it…
