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!

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...

Old Paths

Ok.  So picture the Judd's singing, "Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days."  Let that tune stick in your mind as you read the following paragraphs.  I love the old ways of life that have mysteriously found me.  I was raised in the city limits of Scottsville, Kentucky.  I loved looking at the "moo cows" that just so happened to be in our backyard, separated by a fence, thanks to a neighbor who owned just enough land to accommodate them.  They were friendly for the most part, but I always longed for one of them to let me feed it from my bare hands.  I got close a few times, but their skiddish demeanor left them just out of reach.  My small city life as a child was good, safe, and reliable.  My parents worked their tails off, ensuring that bills were paid and we had food on the table.  We bought new tennis shoes, once a year at the beginning of school.  We were never allowed to wear them out of the house until that first day of...

Weekend Projects

Over the past several months, I have become extremely close to my family.  I can honestly say that without a doubt that they have my back.  I am thankful for them - for the love and support they have shown me - for showing up and helping me when I felt too weak to do things on my own - for simply being there.  Several members of my family have been helping me spruce up the house for potential showings.  They are ready to see me move on with my life, and I am so thankful for having them in my corner. I'm telling y'all...my family is the cream of the crop.  They're mine & I'm theirs & we are family! Our garden is still producing lots of peppers.  I was busy canning banana peppers last night, using a simple brine that I found off of the internet.   Ingredients: 50-60 banana peppers sliced into rings 7 cups of vinegar 2 cups of water 4 cloves of garlic 1 tsp celery seed 1 tsp dill  1 tsp mustard seed 1 tsp pepper...
