About Us

My name is Heather and I have been the help meet to my wonderful husband, Len, for 22 years. Our children are Hope (19), Lenny (15), Lily (11), Wren (Born to heaven, 10/02), Mary (Born to heaven, 9/03), Lucy (Born to heaven, Early '04), and Peter (6). Six doggies round out our happy brood.

A Lenten Break

Happy Lent!!! I said that to my husband on Wednesday and he said it was an oxymoron.  I don’t know about that.  I think that there is happiness in turning more fully to God.  One of the things I love about being Catholic (I converted 10 years ago this Easter) is that the Church takes [...]
