Jewel of Contentment
I’m Eleanor, a wife to my beloved Monsieur since 1981, a homeschool mom for 25 years to six sons and one daughter and Oma to seven (so far).
I love beauty and truth.
Beauty in the form of:
Quilting, meaning I must rip out mistakes.
Flowers, which means I have to dig and weed and sweat.
Interior design, which means I’ve learned more than I ever wanted to about the ugly and boring essentials like footings and sewer pipes while waiting to get to exciting stuff like decorating.
Truth in the form of:
Books, especially God’s Word but also
The many authors over the centuries that God has gifted with wisdom to write.
I also like to write, hopefully wisely.
We live in Alberta’s ranch country on an acreage with 6 3 woolies, 2 1 dogs, 1 cat and a house with which I’ve had a love-hate relationship since 2003.
We are 16 years into a 100-year renovation, doing the work ourselves. Waiting patiently and contentedly for our dreams to materialize is part of the journey I’ll be blogging about.
I'm so happy to have you join me.
