AT THE WATER’S EDGE:
LIVING LIFE AND LEARNING ALL I CAN ALONG THE WAY
Journey with Me
Hi there! My name is Dana. I created this space as a place to share the things I learn along this journey I call life. I am a Jesus follower, wife, twin mom and dog mom. I work in marketing/sales analytics and I’m a sort of Jane of All Trades, interested in all things nature, gardening, cooking, crafting, traveling, exploring and learning new things. This blog is a conglomeration of my interests, hobbies, life and life lessons. Thanks for stopping by!

A while back I posted about trying to memorize the book of James from the Bible. I’m still chugging along, with several others, but I must say that getting through chapter 2 was much more difficult than chapter 1, for whatever reason. You can view my post of James 1 in Photos here. As we

Really, I enjoy gardening because I like playing in the dirt! I think I have a problem. In my desperate attempt to get things to grow in my garden and with my love for all things green and flowery, I think I have become a plant hoarder. Let me back up just a bit. When

It’s high time for a gardening update! I had a very late start to my garden this year, due to the unusually long winter that we experienced here in Michigan. I started some of my seeds indoors in March, but wasn’t able to plant my “early spring” seeds outside until April 21st (I really need

It’s been a while since I’ve updated the Brew Blog, and indeed we did take a bit of a hiatus on our tour. However, we have been to one new one (Tom several times now): Hideout Brewery. This place is aptly named, as it’s in such a strange location, you would never guess it was

Snow storm on April 19th I’m going to be honest: I have complained about the weather a LOT this year. January wasn’t bad, February was about on par with average, and I began to gear up for spring come March. You know the whole “in like a lion, out like a lamb” thing? Well, I’d

I’ve been struggling with decreased mobility, stiffness and some pain with use in my LAWs (Little Arthritic Wrists) for some time now. Even though they are not so inflamed and painful from rheumatoid disease as they once were, I’m suffering the results of the damage done. At my last visit to the rheumatologist, my doctor

I had my latest rheumatology appointment last week. Overall, I would say that the appointment went very well. I told my doctor that I had been feeling well, but that my wrists continued to be stiff, sometimes sore, weak and definitely had a very limited range of motion — though they are far better than

I have my next appointment with my rheumatologist on Tuesday. It’s hard to believe that it has already been six months since I was last there. And that I’ve had very minimal pain or symptoms in the past six months. I have to say, I am glad I decided to make the switch to Humira

It is now mid-April — well into spring. Yet, all week we have dealt with cold 30-40 degree weather and rain. It’s been dreary, to say the least, and I’ve been more than a bit cranky as I wonder aloud why spring has not yet arrived. I was trying to decide what to make for

This post is part of a blog carnival, prompted by RAWarrior.com — with the subject of the carnival being, “how do you keep the disease from taking over?” Click here to read all of the entries! We all need to have an armory, well stocked with things that help us fight this disease — including things
