swissmiss | An Old New House

Just a few days earlier, I made the intention to buy a house upstate that could hold all of our grown-ish children and be a physical manifestation of our love. There she was!

I saw photos of Finne and gasped. I slid the phone over to Tim and he started reading the history of the house. Then he gasped.

What we believe in.

Of all the famous and well known that I share a birthday with, I was always proudest that I shared it with President Jimmy Carter.

Much can be said about his missteps as President. More can be said of the humble Christian service he brought to the office of ex-President.

An example for us all.

Seventeen Sweaters: “Monk” Sweater from Zara

My favorite sweater.

I’m a bit under the weather so I’m using some older existing photos for this one. You’ll just have to trust me that I’m wearing this sweater as I type this…

I call this my “monk” sweater. The reasons should be kind of obvious. It looks like something a monk in the middle ages would have worn. My wife got this for me for Christmas many years ago from Zara. Double breasted with a slouchy hood. This is another fairly warm one that works well as a light jacket by itself in autumn temperatures.
