The Calvert Casa

As of 3:30 this afternoon, I became a homeowner.  The nerves were definitely there, knowing I was taking on this endeavor on my own.  The past year has been full of ups and downs.  I do feel content about the whole situation and that makes my heart happy. 


Downsizing by 1075 feet has me feeling a bit overwhelmed.  Where am I going to put all of my stuff?  Will there be enough room for the dogs to run around?  Can I fix this?  Where should I put that?  Over the past few days, I have been able to move all of my belongings and have began the decorating process.  I keep telling myself that the long to-do list doesn't have to be accomplished overnight, though I wish it could! 

Through the whole move I have found that I have an AMAZING support system.  They are making sure that all of the electrical is good, replacing what isn't, and making sure that I am completely fine with every detail.  A year ago, I thought I was losing so much. Today I realize that I have gained more than I could have ever imagined.  I am happy.  I have my smile back.  I am free. 


I can't wait to update the blog with renovations of the new house.  The Calvert Casa is my sweet little 825 sq. ft. home.  Me and Murphy and Franklin are sure to fill this place with sweet memories.  I so appreciate all of the kind words, prayers, and well wishes from all of those who mean so much to me.

    Congratulations! Seeing how I have spent the last 15 years in the same size space as your going into, I can honestly say that once you get used to the small size you'll never want any bigger!

    House is looking great!

Pear Butter

This year I have canned and harvested more food than I have in my whole entire life.  Through the many changes and difficulties that I have faced over the past year, I find great comfort in growing food, getting my hands and feet dirty in the garden, and being able to pick the goods that have grown.  I'm happy to say that I have an abundance of salsa, corn, green beans, tomatoes, peach preserves, pickles, and banana peppers.   I want to continue this lifestyle, of growing my own food and putting it away for later.  I love knowing where my food is coming from and what is being put into it.  I have accepted a lot of food this summer too, and I gladly receive it, knowing that I can try to learn and make something new.  A lady that I work with gave me two boxes of pears.  Not ever being much of a pear lover in the past, I didn't really know what to do with them.  I did a little bit of research while they ripened up for the week and found a quic...

A Friendly Introduction

Hello world!  It has been quite some time since my last blog post.  My world has been very complicated, and at times I didn't see, or better chose not to see, what God was doing in my life.  Through all of the difficulties I chose to lean on the Lord.  I have in no way been perfect and still struggle from day to day.  I try not to dwell on the past.  I am thankful for everything that I have been through and experienced.  It has made me the woman that I am today.  I can say that I am extremely excited for the future and all that it holds. All of that to say I have decided to blog more on the happenings of my life.  You may or may not even care about what I say or what I do, and that is more than fine.  Honestly, this blog is more for me than anything.  Think of it as a web based journal, a way for me to record the special happenings that take place.  You will more than likely see a lot of posts about reading material, being th...

2020

Can you believe it?  We made it to the year, 2020.  As a child, I would watch favorite cartoon shows that my parents watched when they were small children.  One of my favorites was "The Jetsons."  I just knew that by 2020 we would be flying around in cars, going from here to there by the speed of light.  While we as a nation have progressed quickly, we are still a ways off (THANK GOODNESS) from that super "techy" world.  Let's be honest; the world we live in is already too fast paced.  Slow down, people.  Stop and smell those beautiful flowers that will be blooming before you know it. 2019 seemed to be a repeat of a couple years prior.  I've been in a terrible slump over the past three years.  And to be honest, I'm sick of it.  It's easy to just set back and let the world pummel you into a pathetic sad hole.  I am so ready to make some major changes in my life.  But change requires work.    So, for the ...
