Farewell, 2012

This picture of my granddaughter leaving Disney made me think of how our trip there resembled the year in many ways. We had lots of fun, saw new sights, and felt the thrill of the ride.  There were long walks and we are leaving tired, but happy. There were lessons learned, we met some new […]

Daily Prompt: Un/Faithful

The Daily prompt was “Tell us about the role that faith plays in your life — or doesn’t.” I can say without a moments hesitation and with complete assurance that my faith is my everything!  It’s who I am, how I love and live and exist. My life is based on and around what I […]

Weekly Photo Challenge: My 2012 in pictures

This year has been a busy one, filled with many road trips, fun-filled days in the sun, trips to Indiana, California, Texas, Washington, Georgia, Tennessee, West Virginia and D.C.

Daily Prompt: Immortalized in Stone

Today’s challenge from “The Daily Post” reminds me of the scriptures in the bible about the potter and the clay. The question was:  Your personal sculptor is carving a person, thing or event from the last year of your life. What’s the statue of and what makes it so significant? The sculptor in my life […]

Oh no you didn’t!

“Patience is the companion of wisdom.”  Saint Augustine This may sound very strange, but today my patience has been sorely tested by people with no patience.  You may say it was to be expected and is somewhat deserved.   After all, it was my decision to do some shopping and fight traffic the day after Christmas. […]

Baking for dummies

I hate when I’m browsing for recipes and I see a picture of something that looks perfectly scrumptious, only to click on the actual recipe to find out it is a mile long with complicated instructions.  What part of “easy recipes” does Google not understand?  Then they try to sabotage you with directions like “blend […]

A recipe for memories

Mm mm, I love the smell of cookies baking at Christmas time (well actually at any time), but there is something special about it around the holidays.  My kids always wanted to bake sugar cookies and decorate them.  Thank God when they were younger I had their granny to come over and help me. We […]

My mother in law, my friend

Today, my blog is dedicated to my beloved mother in law, Nancy. You know those people who everyone loves? Seriously…you don’t know one person who dislikes them or has anything unkind to say about them.  Nancy is one of those.  She always sees the best in people, always gives people the benefit of the doubt […]

Weekly Photo Challenge: Surprise

    This photo challenge seemed like it might be a little difficult until I was perusing my photo albums and remembered this particular day .  My little granddaughter, Ayda kept running towards the sea gulls on the beach.  I think we can safely say, she “surprised” them.  That was a wonderful day and we […]
