Just for Fun... a Summer Break Morning

Finding NemoAh... summer time... 
summer break... 
relaxing... 
sleeping late...
and whether 4 or 14, 8 or 18, 
the girls still like Finding Nemo.

 This will be the last summer of its kind. Emily is graduating. She and Michael (16) are going to work this summer. In a sense, all things are going to change. Momma misses the days of littles. ~smiles~

 Seize the day! Enjoy your kids no matter their ages.

      Happy summer to you Billie Jo! I haven't had a relaxing summer since before the Joplin tornado in 2011. I would like a relaxing, peaceful summer! I receive it in Jesus' Name!

    Laura. It is so sad to see our babies growing up..It seems like it happens over night. smile.. But, off to work they will go this summer, and you will be so proud of them for doing what you taught them.. smile.
    My babies are 39 and 43. It seems it was only yesterday, they were under my feet and I would be frustrated with the busyness of children..
    but........... Today.. I would love to take the time and totally enjoy them.. Have a great summer.. hugs.

      As I was holding my Amy (14) tonight, I thought what a blessing that she still wants me to sing her song to her at night. The others seem to have outgrown it. The time is fleeting.

Thanks for writing me back!

This life only works with Jesus. The next life is a continuation of this one—make sure you spend it with Jesus. Jesus is the only way to God the Father!

The Post I've Been Avoiding... The Diagnosis

Image
Hello my dear readers and friends, You've no doubt noticed a change in my blog over the last few weeks and seen hints of health troubles and tests. This is the post I've been avoiding. I just haven't been ready to identify with the problem nor am I sure I want to now. After all, God is the God of miracles. I need miracles, I'll bet you do, too. Here goes. ​  I found a lump on April 22nd. It's been an earth shaker to me and my family for the last few weeks.  This was the cause of the exhausting rounds of tests and appointments. Yes. It is breast cancer. It's in all the lumps in my left breast and in a lymph node. My mother and maternal aunt both had breast cancer many years ago.  To answer a few questions you might have: The CT scan showed no cancer in the rest of my body. Praise God! The oncologist scheduled me for chemo first because it is an aggressive cancer. They want to shrink it first before surgery. I will also have mas...

My Spicy Can Opener Soup was published in Gooseberry Patch Hometown Christmas!

Just had to share this with you again.   My recipe was published in Gooseberry Patch Hometown Christmas! I have to admit, I was truly surprised when I received a letter from Gooseberry Patch requesting permission to use my recipe in their newest Christmas cookbook.  I've sent in some more complicated recipes, but this one is easy peasy! It's truly a recipe that I threw together using items from my nearly bare kitchen cupboards last winter. I called it Spicy Can Opener Soup.  They changed the name, but the ingredients remain the same.   I was thrilled to receive my very own copy of the book .  Of course, I had to make it up and take some photos to share with you dear ladies. It's simple, quick, and delicious. It's also one of those scrape the bowl clean recipes. It's just this simple. Spicy Can Opener Soup 1 can black beans 1 can Mexican corn with peppers 1 can Rotel type tomatoes w/chiles 1 package of Taco Seasoning Mix and simm...

Just Who is Laura of Harvest Lane Cottage?

I'm a big city girl gone small town girl gone country and finally gone back to small town. I live in southern Missouri between Oz and the Ozarks.  I have four children. My daughters live at home. My twenty-four year old daughter is finishing her master's degree through online university, and my 20 year old daughter goes to Christian college. My sons live on their own nearby. The 22 year old son and my 31 year old sons live nearby. I homeschooled all of my children from the beginning through high school. My eldest son went to high school for a year and a half. I met my Jesus when I was fifteen, and my life has never been the same. I married my high school sweetheart almost thirty-six years ago. We started going steady my senior year of high school. You might say we're going steady permanently. ~smile~ We have a very big yellow tabby cat, Tiger. Think Garfield with a good attitude. He is actually bigger than our little Doxie mix, Penny.   I enjoy writing, knit...
