Seasons Of Change
What now? My kids are out of the house and my life is really different.
Hey! How about getting that energy, better digestion, or just feeling more like yourself again - well, start small. One drink. One meal. One habit you enjoy. Seriously, it's like the eating the elephant one bite at a time. 😉
From Death to birth. It's amazing how the announcement of a grandchild can take one out of the focus of impending death. Just like sunny days take away the gloom of cold and snow!

It's easy to dance while I walk out here in the country! Although I'd prefer to walk with a friend in the city.

It was my first attempt at sourdough bagels. Next time, I'll use fresher sourdough, which is more active sourdough. ChatGPT wrote a little poem for this first adventure 😁
The Tale of the Sleepy Dough
I mixed and kneaded, strong and true,
A batch of bagels—what could go askew?
With careful hands, I shaped them round,
Expecting plumpness, golden-browned.
But oh! My dough was slow to rise,
A sleepy batch, to my surprise.
Instead of bagels, proud and grand,
I baked some rings, a sight unplanned!
Yet still, they tell a story sweet,
Of patience, trials, and dough’s defeat.
Not every bake turns out just right,
But each one brings a new delight.
So here’s to sourdough, wild and free,
A lesson wrapped in bakery—
For even rings, though not my goal,
Can warm the heart and feed the soul.

My online math student: Happy Valentine's Day.
Me: oh, thank you. You're the first person to say that to me today.
My online math student: Don't you have any friends?
And that's why I love middle/high school aged kids :) Seriously, I love their sarcastic humor. 😁

It's funny how perspective changes over the winter! ❄️ In November, 25 degrees feels like the Arctic, but by February, it’s practically sweater weather! Who else has adjusted to the cold and is ready for spring?

Life lessons from a country inn with a few drops of essential oil.
“Pies are round, not square!” This is the argument given to me after teaching a middle school math class about the formula for the area of a circle, pi times radius squared. I love teaching math but the time had come to slow down a little with my husband and enjoy the life around us. After much prayer and some Stress Away and a little Clarity in our lives we moved to the middle-of-nowhere, Wisconsin to help Richard and Jackie run their bed and breakfast. Here we are, ready to share news and updates from Shane Acres Country Inn and show you the best oils on the planet!
