A couple of weeks ago we took a long beautiful walk on the trails at John Bryan State Park. We made a big loop uphill and down. The day was perfect, cool and sunny. We felt that we had gotten away for a bit of private nature time, and yet, we were being watched. There …
Do you ever get the feeling that you’re being watched? Continue Reading »
I noticed something really important was missing from my website. I have referenced my Coloring and Activity Book several times yet I could not find it on my website. Today I corrected that and listed it. It is a great coloring book with 98 pages of coloring and activities. Each page carefully drawn and inked …

We are home now. It’s great to be home where all my things are even though I took a much needed peaceful, ‘time out’. Chloe enjoyed Church camp but stayed with us in the camper at night. Mark went to work because we were only half an hour from home, so I had a few …

Setting up camp and breaking it down. Eager to get …

Stillness, nothingness, broken only by a small, timid voice. “I’m hungry” Body moves, silence stays. Silence so crippling I sometimes can’t walk. I can’t remember. …
It was difficult coming up with a post last week. It shouldn’t be so hard to write an amazing Mother’s Day post, like the ones I read from others. Beautiful, nostalgic posts letting you know how great it is to be a mother, have a mother, know a mother. I have every reason to write …
I said, “Praise the Lord”. I could just as well say, “Rejoice!” Yes, I have problems. Not big terrifying problems just achy, not waking up properly problems, coming from growing older and stepping up my workout routine. So when I say, “Praise the Lord”, I’m not saying Praise the Lord for the problems. I’m not …
I want to share Big News with you. I absolutely love Big news. For some reason I get energized and excited and all beamy inside and out when there is Big news. It has to be good news though. Something or someone is beginning, ending, succeeding, breaking through or overcoming something big. Someone got well, …
Going from one year to another is the most difficult thing for me. Each year is just as painful as the last. As a mother I never wanted to go into a new year without my children and to have one child gone now makes it painful. Almost as though I don’t have a right …
