Happy Monday!! How was the weekend? We had a special day at church yesterday – a church anniversary with our pastor and his wife – with delicious food and enjoyed a very nice day. Saturday was also nice. We did all the Saturday things: farmer’s market, ran a few errands,…

Lately: Late Summer Edition
Happy Friday! It has been a good week and I am thankful. We had a crazy storm blow through last night. I had been out with a friend and had only been home about five minutes before the sky went completely black and the thunder started rumblings. Within minutes, it…
Share Four Somethings: July 2027
I can’t believe I almost missed this month’s Share Four Somethings. Truthfully, I did miss it. Jen had the link-up last weekend and, well, I totally was not paying attention. I thought about skipping it but I have not missed one of these posts for years and I didn’t want…
It’s a Work in Progress
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,…
Good Monday Morning: 06.29.26
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…
Share Four Somethings: June 2026
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)…
Good Monday Morning: 06.01.2026
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…
