Every Summer Has a Story.

While the official first day of summer isn't until June 21, I think it is safe to get out the flip-flops, grab a beach towel and jump into my favorite season of the year. I have always been a sunshine girl who loves the long summer days,  the taste of fresh fruit,  family reunions, being outside, and grilling. And did I mention the fireflies! Talk about magical. I have to admit, one of the coolest things about moving from CA to TN is seeing those light up as they dance around in the ... View the Post

Root-Bound

I love playing Wordle. When I guessed PLANT on my second try, I was elated. I had so many things on my "to-do" list but I decided to set the list aside and headed to the local nursery to look for colorful plants instead. I looked forward to spending time in the warm sunshine, digging in the dirt, and creating something worthy of spring, after all, PLANT was the wordle of the day! When I got to the parking lot I realized others had the same idea. As I walked up and down the aisles ... View the Post

Baptist Girl’s Look at Lent part 1

Growing up in the Baptist tradition, I had never been exposed to Lent or the rich history and traditions surrounding the Lenten Season. To be honest? I feel a bit cheated! Advent and Lent are traditions that lead up to the two most important calendar days in the life of a Christian. Christmas and Easter. For me, Easter was all about everything that could be crammed into one Sunday. Decorating eggs and learning about palm branches. Singing songs that included  Hosanna and "The Old Rugged ...

PLAY-DOH ~ I’ll supply the recipe…you bring the fun~

When I saw that September 16 was Nationa Play-Doh day I knew I had to post this recipe. But, when our kids were growing up, every day was Play-Doh day:~D It is nice to see the simple play-doh, invented in 1956 is still popular. And after selling almost 700 million pounds, their sales are still going strong. A few weeks ago my three-year-old grandson was over. It was a rainy day so playing outside wasn't an option. "I can make some Play-doh!" I pulled out the simple ingredients ... View the Post

Down the Wendell Road

It had been over twenty years since we drove down the country road at the edge of town. Rows of corn at full height and tasseled out followed the gentle slopes. Red barns flanked by large silos were surrounded by thick groves of hardwood trees, the perfect shelter against the harsh Midwest storms that blew in as fast as they blew out. We were going to see the hobby farm we had lived on when my husband and I moved our small family from CA to Fergus Falls, MN over 30 years earlier. After two ... View the Post

welcome It is hard to talk about me, without talking about us!    The Seither Family.  John and I have been married for over twenty five years. From the day we said “I do”, it has been quite an adventure.  One of the biggest things people notice about our family is the size. Yes, there are six kids, proof that  God has a sense of humor. I tell people that ask if we are done with six. “No” I promptly reply. “We were done at four! But the last two were too cute to send back.” Read More
