Karey's Overflow

'Overflow' refers to me having a wide variety of things I do, from writing books, to daily living of a wonderful life, and art work.

About Me

My Photo
Name: Karey
Location: Colorado, United States

I garden at 8000 feet, cook from scratch, needle felt, read books continually, study history and epistemology, write daily, contemplate spiritual theology, and pursue heirloom arts. I love to paint pictures of living beyond maintenance -- living creatively, discovering beauty in everyday ordinary things. I've been happily married to Monte, who is a geologist, for a long time and still very much in love, even after raising a family and building two houses. Our children are our best friends. Heather is newly married to Bill. Travis, a minister of the fine arts, is married to Sarah. And Dawson is in college. I naturally live first-hand and have recently realized that this is how we educated our children and ourselves. I love to learn about everything, teach, and work with my hands. I love my home, but my life has overflowed -- as a teacher, radio/conference/retreat speaker, author, and most recently as a MOPS mentor. Kareyswan.com is an ideal way for me to share my overflowing life with kindred spirits and those hungering to move beyond maintenance -- to be known by who they are, not just by what they do.

beginning

This is my first "blog" posting for my new web site that is still under construction.

My blogging will be a variety--from recipes, to what I'm currently doing, reading, pondering, and excited about! I have a published (back to self-publishing and selling) cookbook I did in 1996 called "Hearth&Home - recipes for life." I've been wanting to edit it, but people keep requesting it, so I'm just keeping it in print pretty much as is since 1996.

I have several other books ready to write I've spoken on and have demands for. So someday...I'm hoping this website will help me get into the process.

I'm currently in the thick of gardening--from a large vegetable garden and other perennial gardens along with herbs. I live at 8,000 feet (having moved from the Arizona desert)...so gardening has never been easy for me or 'by the book'. I experiment and have had some great successes and then alot of failures, or just plain 'comic book' story potentials! On top of the altitude, I have deer, elk, lots of voles and other underground critters. Currently I'm dealing with a bear that's liking my birdfeeders. So, after 23 years, we're considering electric fencing.
