I knew at some point I would try this on. I did today. It was one other thing that was my grandmother’s that was given to me and I did want to share how pretty it is. It is an apron that she ordered not long ago.
Isn’t it great? I’m sure I won’t be using it to do anything that will mess it up.

I just wanted to share a picture and a few thoughts this morning. Last night I walked through the small foyer that surrounds the staircase in our home. I looked up, and there on the little landing lay my 6-foot 2-inch, 200+-pound 16-year-old son, reading. I had to smile. (Then I grabbed my digital camera.) I surmised that all his favorite places to read — the den, the upstairs bedrooms, my big office chair — were being occupied by someone else, so he found just any place he could to read.
You can only know how thrilling this is if you have had a child that you struggled greatly (for years) to teach to read! Joseph has dyslexia. He looks at things differently from the rest of us, on and off the pages of a book, I might add. I never did give up on him and was even determined that he would be a super reader. My heart sings a song of thankfulness everytime I see him reading like this.
For those of you who are teaching a child with dyslexia: Don’t give up!

My playlist is still here! It's just not set to autoplay. So those of you who love listening to beautiful music while you read, go all the way to the bottom of the page and click the play button.
I am a 40-something-year-old mother of four delightful children, have been married for 22 years to my carpenter husband, and live in a 1921 farm-style house. I find the most joy in my garden, growing and harvesting herbs and flowers and caring for our delightful bunnies.
I have a 21-year-old son, an 18-year-old son, a 15-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly (and very funny) 11-year-old daughter who is homeschooled.
I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I'm a book lover, bird lover, gardener and aspiring herbalist. I seek no help for my thrift store addiction. I do medical transcription from home part-time.
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
