There was a time when I held the belief, “If you start a book, you finish a book”. I’m sure this came from 18 years of schooling when teachers and professors picked books for me to read, and, if I wanted to do well in school, I had to read the selections even if I …
I have a singing voice with about a 6 note range…7 if someone steps on my foot really hard. Yet, I love to sing, so I do, and over time I’ve found songs that fit within my limited range. The Beatles’ Paul McCartney and John Lennon use to write 1 song per album that Ringo Starr could …
I am soooo excited! A few weeks ago I shared an article I wrote oh so long ago for a past blog. It was titled Unrequited Dreams and spoke of my desire the learn how to watercolor. If you haven’t read the blog and would like to, you can read it HERE. In a nutshell, …
I will be hard-pressed to convince Tim, who doesn’t particularly like (hmmm, maybe he really dislikes???) cabbage soup, that I really was craving some and that it had absolutely NOTHING to do with the Tin Can Lanterns I shared this morning …that required vegetable cans! Seriously … I bought the cabbage a week ago …
Early this spring we received an email from one of our readers. She told us they were doing a camp this summer at their church. The theme was SISTERHOOD. She asked for permission to use our BFF Wooden Medallion Pendants as a craft project. They wanted the older girls to make them and share them …
Maybe it’s because we’ve had a cool spring or maybe it’s because I’ve been so busy this year, that my annual ritual of bringing out ALL my water color paints has been delayed. But today, yes today, I gathered everything together and, well, instead of retelling an old story, I’ll share a post I …
If you’ve been following me for any period of time, you’ll know that over a year ago, we needed to move my dad into a home for dementia patients. It was a very hard decision, but, fortunately, the right one. He is happy there. He thrives in the routine and quiet. And, my Mom can …
I grew up on Joni Mitchell. She is a gifted song writer and a talented performer. Still, to this day, I will frequently have a night with Joni. I’ll dim the lights, light a few candles, get a lovely glass of red wine, put on Joni Mitchell’s Blue album, and as if in H. G. …
January 2. The house is unbelievably quite. The children are all gone, the hubby is back to work, and after a VERY quick glimpse at CNN, I find myself back at the computer, after a 2 week hiatus. I scan Pinterest, looking for my daily dose of inspiration, and find myself strangely apathetic. Of course, …
For those of you that follow me on One Generation to Another, today I’m sharing a lesson in gratitude that I learned from my Bushia many years ago. Please join me HERE 🙂
I've worn bangs for longer than most of our readers have been alive… true story 🙂 Anyway… Tim saw some sassy pics of me in the 70s, with long straight hair and no bangs. Tim: Oh, how cute. (He had enough sense not to say… you WERE so cute. Gotta love that man 🙂 Me: …
I am back after almost 2 weeks spent with my son, Drew, his lovely wife, Meghan, their soon to be 2 year old, Little Lady, and week old, Little Guy. What an indescribably awesome gift, to share in the birth of your child's child. I feel so blessed that Tim and I were able to lend …
