I found this, this morning and it just made me think of farmgirls and their spirit.
Back then, we made everything.
We made bread from scratch....and biscuits....and cornbread
We made clothes and quilts
Friends for a lifetime
And our own brand of fun
Back then, we fixed things
We fixed screen doors and windows
And darned socks and patched pants
We fixed clotheslines and old cars
And broken hearts
Back then, we treasured things
We treasured time like it was gold
Evenings on the porch
We treasured old family pictures
And canning jars
Back then, we built things
We built houses full of dreams
And barns for our neighbors
We built families and farms
Courage for the ages
And faith like a rock
If only back then would come 'round once again.

I need to get some bread made and I know my husband sure would appreciate some new shirts made. It has been awhile. Now that the grands week is over with us I might get some things done. Babysitting 3 of them after I brought home the 2 little ones this morning. I have loads to catch up on once I get home later. We've enjoyed having them though.
I love some of the old ways when life was at a slower pace. |

| It would be nice to have a little slower pace. And I know about the grandkids. Had our 4 year old grandson over the weekend and again on Monday afternoon, but I love it. He is so full of energy. |

| Yes Sherry, I love having mine too. But 2 wore me out a little. They keep me moving though. That's a good thing. |

| Our 2 YO grandson is enough to tire both of us out. But we love it. |

| Such true words. We unfortunately live in a word where people just throw things away. And things are no longer created to last very long. |

| We do live in a throw away world. But in my house seldom do we throw stuff away. I always cook and bake, can, sew. And Jim repairs or fixes things. I like to repurpose things too. If I need to I take stuff to Goodwill. |
Hugs,

I agree on that! I need to go through things as well and take it to the Good Will Store.
I need to mail a bunch of things to my daughter too, that would make things look a lot better in here as well!
Well have a wonderful day!
Hugs and much love!

Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.
Tell God what you need, and thank him for what he has done.
Philippians 4:6
Just follow God unquestioningly.
Because you love Him so, for if you trust His judgment there is nothing you need to know.

| Denise, this passage warms my heart and breaks it at the same time. This is the story of the life of my Mom and Dad growing up in the first 25 years of the 20th century. I see a lot of wisdom , beauty , hope, and sometimes just plain grit in these words because that was how life felt like , yet there was a sense that man y blessings still happened. |
