Happy Hump Day – the one right in between Christmas and the new year! I’ve heard some folks really don’t like this week but, personally, I thoroughly enjoy it. And need it. I love(!!) new beginnings and, yes, next week is one of the best (new week, new month, new year, oh wow)! As much… Read More Two New Traditions
This weekend, here in the USA, will celebrate our country’s birthday. Independence Day. The Fourth of July. Largely a day for fun…and food. (ALways the food!) But it really is a significant day as well. When I pause and consider our country (and really consider things), there is definitely cause for concern. As they say,… Read More Thoughts for Our Country
It’s Father’s Day week. Happy early wishes to all the dads. There are several different “dads” in my life…men who mean so much to me. Of course, my own dad – whom I seem to miss more every year since he has been gone. There is also my sweet husband – such a good dad… Read More My Husband’s Favorite Meal
It’s Good Friday. Such a heartbreaking day when you consider it. The day we remember Christ’s crucifixion. The utter hopelessness that it entails. Not just complete sadness but the fear – the dread for the future – that those at the foot of the cross must have sensed. Our days can also easily be filled… Read More Victory is Mine Because of the Resurrection
Welcome to the week of chocolate, hearts, flowers, chocolate and..well, more chocolate! It seems like Valentine’s Day creates strong opinions….either you really enjoy it and embrace all the fun. Or you totally don’t. I have so many fun memories of celebrating Valentine’s Day with my kiddos when they were little. We started the day with… Read More A Valentine Tag Revisited
My friend, Leslie, has invited (and encouraged) us to share ten Christmas traditions. Sounds simple but ten is actually a lot. But, on Instagram, she encouraged us to give it “the old college try” and so I will:) Traditions around here have changed and some have evolved or others have been modified. That used to… Read More Christmas Traditions – Then and Now
Just a heads up…a little bit of photo overload in this post. At least, for me. I know many, if not most, enjoy lots of photos (I am one of those who enjoy blog pictures) but I typically do not include too many in my own posts. Not sure why. Well, actually I am. My… Read More Twenty-five Days of Gratitude: A Recap
Something a bit different for me today. Trista at the Classy Chaos blog posted a Twenty Questions link-up on Instagram. I thought I would answer them here. Just for some fun – heading into this long weekend. I hope you have a wonderful time celebrating our country. Take a few extra moments to seriously pray… Read More Twenty Questions
Just like that – it is time for another Share Four Somethings. Always a bit surprised how quickly another month comes to an end. June has not been much more eventful than May, although things do seem a little bit more “back to normal” – minus everyone wearing a face mask. I understand all the… Read More Share Four Somethings: June 2020
Happy Friday. It’s Father’s Day weekend. Although it has been 20 years (yes, twenty!! It is hard to imagine) since I last saw my dad on this earth, I tend to get nostalgic – if not a bit emotional – on special weekends last these. I am so grateful for the relationship that I enjoyed… Read More Father’s Day 2020
