A Thousand Words Thursday

Mr.T. made his mask from an insert in an old skeleton mask. It was just a plain white piece of plastic with a broken string off lights! I think he did a great job. You can’t tell but he even put a zipper on the mouth! He got many compliments – and stares from small […]

A banjo, a bowler, and an eternal grin – Guest Post by Ryan Pilling

I play the banjo. I also play the guitar. Actually, I will play any musical instrument I can get my hands on… or at least try to. Music is a great joy in my life. For my part in this Sincerely Saturdays series I wanted to share with you one thing about music that warms […]

This. Day. Bites.

My Mom and Lee are moving today. Moving to town. Four miles away. Moving into a 3rd floor apartment. In town. Four miles away. I hate it. Can you tell this is going to be a rant? Sorry, but I need to vent. I’ll say it again just because I have to. My Mom and […]

How I Learned to Follow My Heart – Guest Post by Barbara Techel

Did you ever experience an ache in your heart, but you were unsure why? This happened to me in my early 40’s. I felt this void, an empty hollow space, a longing, and wondering if there was more to life, or was this it? I wondered why I was brought here. Was there something more? […]

Enjoying a dreary rainy day isn’t so hard after all!

Super Genius was home today, it’s hard to roof in the rain! I had planned on having a quiet day at home and try and get some blog work done before the weekend, I am so behind! Scratch that, hubby drug me out of the house to do some errands. I didn’t want to go, […]

Wordless Wednesday – After Dinner Walk

Writing Is A Blast! Guest Post by Cathy Bryant

So glad to be here at A Hen’s Nest! My passion has been lurking in the background for several years. While my boys were still at home, my free time was eaten up by sporting, music, and school events. Then came the empty nest. At first, I occupied my time with a full-time job to […]

Happy Birthday Dad, Memories are all we have

Dad’s 61st birthday is today and the memories are surrounding me, tugging at my foggy brain and the hands of time. One memory of my Dad that I hold on to is of him and me as a child, sitting in church, swinging my feet from the folding chair and listening to the hum of […]

A big bag of Potatoes

On Monday we were visiting with my Mom when my 2nd Dad got home from work. He had brought home a few 50lb bags of potatoes for them and a few other members of the family to split. We bought one bag off of him because they looked so yummy! We figured $10 for 50lb […]

I’m annoyed

My hubs, Super Genius, is a contractor. That means that he works quite a bit but it’s sporadic, unplanned and often last minute. It means that he may be home for the day, a few days, or working from 7am – 7pm for a week straight. He might be in and out of the house […]
