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.
