A Joyful Chaos: May 2015
http://ajoyfulchaos.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 26, 2015. Some of my earliest memories involve Uncle Eli and Aunt Sadie. They loved children, but were unable to have any of their own so when Dad and Mom needed to go somewhere without us children we would often get to stay at their house. On Saturday I was shocked to receive the news that Sadie had passed away. And I will give you his address. Wednesday, May 20, 2015. 1 Did you make someone laugh yesterday? 2 What's a simple question with a complicated answer? Are you ready for a list?

Something you love about your generation?

A Joyful Chaos: January 2015
http://ajoyfulchaos.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 21, 2015. 1 American Idol is back for a 14th season. Are you watching? Have you ever watched? If you were to audition for the show (or were made. To audition), what song would you sing? I am not watching American Idol. Have never watched it. I would never willingly audition, but if made to I would probably panic and squeak out a jumble of words from a variety of songs, because I'm pretty sure I couldn't remember the words to any particular song at that moment. How'd that work out?

A Joyful Chaos: April 2015
http://ajoyfulchaos.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 30, 2015. Early to bed, early to rise seemed to be the motto among the Amish. Nine o'clock was considered to be late. Even with getting plenty of sleep there was something about the long church services that seemed to put people to sleep. Usually when the second minister started preaching the boys would settle in to get as comfortable as possible to sleep. Married men might try to stay awake, but many of them dozed off. Wednesday, April 29, 2015. Monday, April 27, 2015. Yesterday a group ...

A Joyful Chaos: Pretty Handkerchiefs
http://ajoyfulchaos.blogspot.com/2015/05/pretty-handkerchiefs.html
Friday, May 15, 2015. My collection of pretty handkerchiefs grew rapidly and decidedly prettier as I got older. One of the traditions in the Amish churches while was growing up was when ever someone came to visit the girls always got to choose a pretty handkerchief as a little memento to take home. Fri May 15, 12:08:00 PM 2015. I also have some handkerchiefs that belonged to my Mom. I treasure them, but also dont use them. Fri May 15, 12:24:00 PM 2015. Something I havent seen in years. I remember sta...

A Joyful Chaos: March 2015
http://ajoyfulchaos.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 30, 2015. How and why there seem to always be a sock or two that remains unmatched when ever we do the laundry has always been a mystery to me. The mystery continues to get more mystifying to me. I have heard several different explanations ranging from dryer lint obviously being the cremated remains of socks to the suspicion that they actually turn into extra Tupperware lids. Apparently socks run away. That may sound too simple, but let me explain. Wednesday, March 25, 2015. 1 This coming w...

A Joyful Chaos: Wednesday Hodgepodge
http://ajoyfulchaos.blogspot.com/2015/05/wednesday-hodgepodge.html
Wednesday, May 6, 2015. 1 What's a phrase your mother often said to you? If you're a parent, is this something you now say to your own children? I don't think she had a phrase she said often. She did however squeeze her eyes shut when one of us was doing something somewhat dangerous rather than running to rescue us from potentially getting hurt. I find myself doing the same thing, though I've been trying very hard not to. 2 What is a scent you associate with your mother or your childhood home? There is o...

A Joyful Chaos: Celebration Giveaway
http://ajoyfulchaos.blogspot.com/2015/05/celebration-giveaway.html
Friday, May 1, 2015. It's May, the April A-Z challenge is over, there is a certain feeling of anticipation in the air, and I'm in the mood to celebrate! I was digging through our books yesterday and happened upon this one. My Journey to Freedom. Is a memoir of one woman's journey of growing up and leaving the Amish. I probably won't be reading it again, and rather than tucking it into the attic I thought I would pass it along to one of you. I will be selecting a winner on Monday, May 4th. The Love Letter...

A Joyful Chaos: Mother's Day
http://ajoyfulchaos.blogspot.com/2015/05/mothers-day.html
Monday, May 11, 2015. Of all the special days a year holds, Mother's Day is the hardest for me since we left the Amish. In the past I used to write a letter of sorts, here on my blog, to my Mom for Mother's Day. All the things I wrote, I could write again, I still mean every word. So I read Psalms 27:10 again. I turn to my family, my husband and precious children who try and succeed in making Mother's Day special for me. Mon May 11, 11:30:00 AM 2015. Mon May 11, 11:38:00 AM 2015. I am so sorry. I can...
