Okay, so we all know if you’re expecting a call, the best place to wait for it would probably be in the shower, right (or at least the bathroom)? No, of course it won’t come if you think of it that way. However, it never fails, especially if I am home alone, enjoying the solitude […]

When my daughter posted this picture today of my granddaughter, my first reaction was this huge smile, followed by out-loud laughter, and then of course the missing her. I made some quip about someone having dressed herself again. I’ll be the first to admit that I feel somewhat obligated to match and dress seasonally appropriate […]

Today when I got the email for the weekly photo challenge, it was pouring down rain, a dark and dreary day. At first, I thought I would have to use all old pictures because I really wanted to use pictures representing the magnificent color in God’s creation. I used a couple of older ones, but […]

What is it they say about the colored rings on a coral snake? Yellow on black, friend of Jack? Yellow on black, caused panic attack is more like it for me! No, I am not going to blog about snakes. I doubt you will ever see me do that. This is about the panic that […]

On Holidays, we always think about the ones we loved so much who are no longer with us, and this Easter Sunday, is no exception for me. I think about my Mom, who died almost 17 years ago, while I was pregnant with my youngest. My mom loved holidays and to me, she was a […]

Some days I sit and ponder the strangest things. Today I was on facebook and there was a post that grossed me out. I thought, “hmm, I could gripe about it”, or do what I ended up doing, which was hide it so it didn’t show up on my wall. This caused me to think […]

This afternoon after reading Psalm 67, I just can’t help but think about all the things I have to be thankful for and how that thanks should turn into praise. Some things we just take for granted like the fact that we woke up today. Many didn’t. There are so many little things that make […]

I captured this one day on my phone while our granddaughter was watching out the window to see when Papa would get home in his boat. Every time I see this I think about her future. She was just concerned with the next few moments, when Papa would get home and probably let her have […]

No, I didn’t go to a crazy Saint Patrick’s day party and I was not trying out a new hair color. It’s the Blistex lid and yes, it IS melted and um-hmm….I did this. So, does anyone have a teenage daughter who likes your bathroom better because it has more or bigger mirrors? And because […]
