It's the beginning of school and a million things are going on. I'm finding myself busier than ever but still making time to sit on the front porch, visit with neighbors and have my quiet time. Not something I was doing BBLC - "Before the Broken Leg Chronicles". Somehow it's all working out as I let go of my agenda. God knows my heart and is helping me be still in the midst of ...

Broken Leg Chronicles
Don’t mess with your therapist!
Three times a week I go to physical therapy for my leg. It's just down the road from our house and it's so convenient for me. But there's one thing I hate about it - it's the BAPS board. Picture a large round disc on the floor with a ball underneath. I have to rotate it with just my ankle while sitting down. I can't move my leg or knee and the disc can't touch the ground. It's ...

Closing out a chapter – whew!
We said goodbye to this badboy last week..... Oh don't get me wrong. I was thankful to have that bed. But getting back upstairs and with my man was a wonderful new day. And got rid of these guys....... I relied on all these things heavily and they provided security for a time period but it's a new day in this girls life.

Bahaha!!!! I know you think you have the greatest sister in the world but it's actually me that has the ... Read More »

Or the blessings Of cards from both young and old....(thank you preschool, 2nd and 4th grade and cheerleaders at CBS!)

While I’m sleeping…….
My sister came up from Atlanta this weekend to help us out on the home front since my Mom had to go back for some appointments. She has been so helpful to us and the kids love her being here. She took Sophie to McD's and had some special girl time with her. Then they went peony picking. *Insert high-pitched little girl squeal. I now am gazing at them as I type. Pink flowers ... Read More »
