Sometimes the things you can't see help you see more clearly!
Looking back, thinking of your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and such is sort of like taking homemade picture shows that you load up and watch in your memory from time to time. The making of those memories in the first place is a sacred, special time. Some of those homemade picture show memories are very … Continue reading Looking Back on Messy Toes, Tents and Scooby-Doo
I rode, as a passenger, by the little white stone cottage today. There were people sitting on the porch in those white, wooden rocking chairs; but papaw was not there. He has not been there for a few months now; but every time I go by that cozy little dwelling I look. I look longingly, … Continue reading Won’t See Papaw On the Porch
This past weekend was an eye-opener for me; well actually, possibly more of a reminder than an eye-opener. It was a reminder that I am very spoiled to my daily routine. My days start with quiet time. Silence. Peace. Tranquil. Serene. This quiet time gives my mind time to reach out and touch the day without … Continue reading No Silence in Sight!
I have been so busy this week that I haven’t had time to sit down and take the amount of time it takes for me to create a new blog post. So I thought I would throw out a “really” old story that I had on an old web page (from way back in 1997!) … Continue reading Seeing That Purple Dinosaur

Her comments were reminiscent of the times we spent playing with paper dolls when we were young. We grew up next door to each other until we were seventeen. We spent much of that time together … Continue reading Ah, Those Blue Eyes
Sometimes hope comes from the most unlikely places, and sometimes you have to take a second look to get a glimpse of it – especially when you are not aware that it is present. A portion of this blog contains pieces of a Facebook post that I added back in May 2017. So for those … Continue reading Sometimes Hope Takes a Second Glance
Someone commented on my first blog post. Other than the fact that their comment was sweet and, "Yea! Really? Yes!...YEA!!," someone actually read my post, it was more the "commentor" that moved me. It brought to my mind a bittersweet, cherished memory. It was one of those "instantly transported to another place and time" kind … Continue reading Keep Your Eye on the Goal
I'm sitting here at my desk, looking out my window. Today it is bright and sunny. Those are the best days for me. Give me sunshine and I am a happy girl. Light means a lot to me!
