If you want to learn to swim, you have to get in the water.  You can sit by the pool and dream about swimming.  You can flop on your bed and practice your breaststroke to perfection.  But unless you get in the water – it’s not swimming.  At some point,…

Happy Friday!  And hooray if you have survived the heatwave that has blanketed much of our country!  I know everyone has been hot so I want belabor it; however, just for documenting purposes….it has been in the triple digits here!  Without a single breeze or puff of air.  And there…

Happy Monday, friends!  How was the weekend?  Ours was rather wet but still quite productive…even as we dodged storms and raindrops.  It would rain hard, clear up and then rain again.  Hopefully all the puddles, streams, birdbaths and other water sources are full as it is supposed to get incredibly…

And, just like that, it is the end of another month.  I think I say that every month.  I know, for sure, I said it in May (as I copied and pasted it here) but having missed the first three weeks of June, well, the end of month (blog speaking)…

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 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…

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. …

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…

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…

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…

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. …
