Pilgrim, Saved By Grace - wife - mother - sister - friend - occasional writer - quilter - knitter - gardener - voracious reader. Thursday, January 1, 2015. Gifts That Keep On Giving. Somewhere in our many conversations I had shared that I loved tamarind candy, but that is not what this is! This is whole tamarind. So, in order to process these pods I had to crack the hard shells. And then remove the "meat"-covered seeds and the fibers that surrounded them. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Pilgrim, Saved By Grace - wife - mother - sister - friend - occasional writer - quilter - knitter - gardener - voracious reader. Wednesday, February 26, 2014. Working with high school students has been one of the great joys of my life. When I worked at the elementary level, I thought it was the best world ever.until I got too old to bend over those tiny little desks and chairs! Some butterflies just take longer to break out of their cocoons. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Still Life With...

If you haven't been following Sam's Facebook link, you don't know that he's made it as far as Payette, Idaho. He's met some wonderful and generous people already who have housed and fed both him and his horses. He's only been turned away once, so far! I couldn't leave without sharing the iconic mural from the show's opening. That added an hour to our re...

So a few weeks ago we had a chance to go to Lynden's Antique Tractor Show. Here's a sampling of what we saw. It was a great day- hot, sunny, dusty.perfect farm weather! If you're bored with old farm machinery, you should move on! Check out this old steam roller. I love this old thing.such classic lines! That should be me! Lined up for duty. The real vo...

Our trip up to Artist's Point was timely- the road to Artist's Point was closed for the season yesterday. It was only open for 84 days this year! A cold front is moving in tonight and the snow level is dropping. Our day at the farm tomorrow could be a challenge. Now where did I put that long underwear? Links to this post.

Saturday, December 17, 2011. Last night was our church's first (and perhaps annual) chilli cookoff and white elephant gift exchange. We arrived early to help set up, by the end of the evening there were 40 gifts under this tree! Tables were decorated festively. And 10 different types of cornbread appeared, as well as. Old Herbace...

Pilgrim, Saved By Grace - wife - mother - sister - friend - occasional writer - quilter - knitter - gardener - voracious reader. Wednesday, August 5, 2015. Tide x 2 = Adventure! One of the perks of living near Bellingham Bay is enjoying the great beach combing opportunities that the lowest minus tides provide during the summer months. We took advantage of one of these days to explore the Taylor Shellfish Farms. This sign met us at the entrance, how could one resist, we had to check it out! And then I can...

Since then I've found a few other Nativity scenes that I've added to my "collection". It's hard to find good ones that don't cost a fortune or aren't too big to display in a smallish house. This was the next one I found and I don't remember where we got it. But I like it's simplicty. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I'm a happily marri...

Here's a sampling of what I see on my journey:. This is where I start. This is the "leisure" side of the harbor, full of leisure boats that, as far as I can tell, rarely leave the harbor! This is the Hotel Bellwether. This is the exit channel for the harbor, there's a fishing boat heading out for the day. I'm on the opp...
