Our very dear friends with whom we have shared many happy times. They moved to the UK in November and, needless to say, they are sorely missed.

Musings about life on our 12 acre farm - Gumboots which represent times in life when the water is deep and we find ourselves wading through muck and mire, and lemonade for when all is well, life is sweet, and we are refreshed. I hope you enjoy your stroll through these pages.

"We are what we are because God is who He is. We are holy because of His holiness, loving because of His love, strong because of His strength, and consecrated because of His consecration of us." Selwyn Hughes, from Every Day with Jesus
Friends Forever... and Sisters to boot!
Beginnings
This web-log came about due to inspiration from my sister-in-law who, some time ago, tried to encourage me to create a web site. I thought about it briefly but it seemed too overwhelming to me. Time passed, then one day I came across the blog of a lady in my knitting group and it was then that I discovered even an amature can easily set one up. Hence, our little 'blog' is born. The plan is to keep it updated with projects and recipes, and things relative to life in general with the hope that you will in some way be encouraged, blessed, and inspired by something you see here.

Unbelief is actually perverted faith, for it puts its trust, not in the living God but in dying men. The unbeliever denies the selfsufficiency of God and usurps attributes that are not his. This dual sin dishonors God and ultimately destroys the soul of man. - A. W. Tozer (1897-1963)
A quote I heard recently;
"I believe that friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly."
