Nana Ellen's

We live down the lane in a little old cottage the color of rain. There's lots to look at and lots to do.

Slide 4

the kitchen

Nana's old kitchen table is the best place for sharing favorite recipes, household hints, entertaining ideas, and Web finds. We'd love to take some time and share our stuff with you - so grab some coffee, pull up a chair, and let's have a good old-fashioned time getting to know each other.

the garden

If your garden is located in a mild winter region, with a long growing season and almost no winter freeze, you may be interested in some of the ideas we have to share here. There are seasonal tips, gardening tricks, photos and a gallery of our favorite posies.

just stuff

The stuff I share here brings back warm memories of the hodgepodge of hugs, cookies and wonders from my childhood. There are bits and pieces of everything that catches my fancy-art and crafts, things to entertain the kids, daily minutia and so on and so forth.Maybe you'll find some of my stuff interests you too.

abundant grade

Making something extraordinary out of each and every day becomes more important with each and every passing day! So I start each and every day by spending some time in quite contemplation. I take the 'good book', my journal, and morning coffee to a quiet corner and talk over my plans for the day with my Heavenly Father.

I've learned by now to be quite content whatever my circumstances. I'm just as happy with little as with much, with much as with little. I've found the recipe for being happy whether full or hungry, hands full or hands empty. Whatever I have, wherever I am, I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am.
