We have a confession. We have started exercising in earnest. We’ve made such a big deal over resolutions for a new year versus setting goals. So, I guess we didn’t want you to think we had made a knee-jerk decision to start exercising. Listen to that at the start until 7 minutes, 37 seconds into the show. […]

  Last week we talked about life goals and New Year’s resolution and about how different they are and how writing down your goals is essential in seeing the come to pass. So, it’s a new year. It’s a time where we review our lives and start asking questions of ourselves. We’ve talked more than a […]

Welcome to this week’s podcast. We had a Great Christmas and a very quiet New Year celebration. We traveled a lot between where we live and Raleigh, Wake Forest and of course, Knightdale. It was all fun and sometimes entertaining, our son-in-law was in their church Christmas play. It was a great play that had […]

Merry Christmas! Please take time during this holiday season to enjoy the people that are around you. Remember to reach out to others that may not have any friends or family close by. There are so many ways you can bless others, sometimes the best way is just being around them. In other words, taking […]

In today’s podcast we talk about the experience we had caroling for Christmas. It’s so easy to stop and take the time to do something for others. Not just in this season, we encourage you to reach out to others in a way that might seem to not hold much meaning to you but has […]

You will learn how we extended the Thanksgiving season by cooking a second turkey with some of the fixin’s. Allie drove to the farm on Friday for the first time by her self. Saturday saw her testing her Black-Friday purchase of a GoPro camera with results posted on her FaceBook. We had her help on […]

We have had a great time with our family celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday and hope you have as well. As we think about the things we’re thankful for we think of you. In these few weeks we have had some great responses from you and have been so encouraged by your comments.  Today we shared […]

Hi, this is JoElla and you will notice I shared some of my background this week. It was not the easiest but I wanted people to know where I am coming from. Well, now I am not a counselor or trained to help people so you understand I am just here to share my life […]

Earlier this week we recorded a podcast with our granddaughter Ally Mitchell who will be going to India in the spring for a mission trip. Be sure to see that post below. We also picked up sweet potatoes in the field to the south of the house that we’ll be sharing with friends and family. […]

Kendall and JoElla interview Ally Mitchell about her upcoming mission trip to India in March. She tells about her trip to the orphanage, some special kids there and talks about some of the needs she saw when they did street ministry. She mentions one special little boy named Dopey that won her heart. We’ll all […]

We had a wonderfully fantastic weekend that included our very special granddaughters. We enjoyed movies, chick flicks (I think Kendall even enjoyed them too) and had roast and mashed potatoes one of their favorite meals. For dessert we had caramel apples and I loved them. Yesterday JoElla went to the Coats Garden Club. It was […]

Sunday after church we went to Scooters Grill & Bar to hear our friend Pete Terano and the Little Big Band play some old Rock & Roll favorites. We had a great time with friends and the food was great. JoElla had lunch with Ally and dinner with Savannah. This weekend we get to add […]

JoElla stated that Autumn is her favorite color. And Kendall asks, “Could it be?” It has cooled off here but that’s not the whole of why we love Autumn. It’s such a feast for the eyes. Here’s a pic of the mums that the Guy at the Food Lion gave JoElla last weekend. Our friend got […]

We had a great week here in North Carolina including our church picnic on Saturday. You might remember autumn being our favorite time of the year. JoElla found another photo that tells the story of fall. Our dear friend Diane in Indiana took the photo near her home and allowed us to share it. Sunday […]

Welcome – Autumn is my favorite time of year! Around our area we have dogwoods turning a little red and then we have soybeans that are golden. We also have on one side of us sweet potatoes. They haven’t been harvested yet but we are looking forward to when they are. Thanks for all the […]
