Happy Monday friends! I hope you had a good weekend. It was a beautiful here and the sunny is shining bright this morning:) I have “medical things” on my agenda today and, for the most part this week, I plan to recoup (aka nap) and restore. I don’t expect there…

Happy Memorial Day
“The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather…
A Pause to Remember
Happy Friday..and hooray for a long weekend. Let’s be honest, when you are in my season of life, all the weekends are long ones:) But I know there are many who work hard and look forward to these three day breaks. For our family, Memorial Day meant the school year…
A Daybook Entry: May 2026
Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a nice weekend. It is a rainy (gentle, soft drizzly kind of rain) and very grey day here this morning. A morning that feels like you could pull the covers over your head (just one more time) and sneak in a few extra winks. …
I Choose Dishes Over Laundry
Hello. Welcome back to the blog. Thank you to those who left comments on Wednesday’s post. Especially those who shared a bit of their own story. Doing so is always an encouragement and I genuinely appreciate it. I have also said a prayer for each of you as we recognize…
When Your Heart Hurts on Mother’s Day
Welcome to the blog. As always, I am glad you stopped by today. The week, so far, has been a bit heavy and I have not been able to exactly put my finger on why; however, when I was considering posts for today (and/or Friday), I remembered that Mother’s Day…
Just Curious
Happy Monday! Here’s to all that a new week has in store! Goodness but the first rays of morning sunshine have been so pretty the last couple of days. I snapped this photo on Wednesday, I think. It seems like every morning they highlight another part of the room and…
A Quick Thought on Decisions (Or Should I Make it Longer??)
Welcome May!! Another flip of the calendar page:) Hard to believe but also exciting! April was a good month around here and I am taking those “good vibes” with me as we start this new month. There seem to be a lot of opportunties and (new) possibilities on the horizon. …
April 2026 (The Spring Edition): By the Numbers
April is almost in the history books. A full month of spring. Plenty of birthday celebrations. All around, just a great month. April has been good. Spring has been good. And, so I thought a look back, by the numbers, would be a good exercise today. The last “by the…
A few Weekend Highlights
Hello friends. Happy Monday! It is, technically, still Monday but way later in the afternoon than I would usually write a post. I have not had time today to get a post ready and considered “just skipping” it today. However, there have been a lot of visitors to the blog…
A Daybook Entry: April 2026
Happy Monday! As I look at the calendar…can it be that we almost at the middle of this month? My mind was thinking it was still the first week of April (and maybe too early for a daybook entry), but that is not the case. Oh my. I think when…
Five Minute Friday: REMNANT
Welcome to Friday! Another week already in the history books. How has your week been? Yesterday, I joined my friends at the monthly “Flock” meeting. The one where they work on the loveliest of blankets (and occasionally other projects) with beautiful yarn. Most are crocheting. A few prefer to knit. …
