FONDEST CHRISTMAS MEMORIES . . .
A wonderful memory from my childhood Christmases was the huge box that would arrive from my mom’s parents at that time of the year. I knew there would be something in that package just for me. I could hardly stand the anticipation. Each … Continue reading
ALWAYS THE TEACHER . . .
Found this photo in my memories on Facebook today. Paul and our granddaughter, Kaeli painting together eleven years ago. She seems very focused on what grandpa is doing. Paul was a great teacher of many things. He could tell the … Continue reading

MAY 20th – FIRST LEVIS PATENTED
I borrowed the image from another blogger. The evolution of blue jeans during the days of the Gold Rush in California, to the pants on the ground of those who wear them today would probably cause quite a stir to … Continue reading
SPLENDOR
Today is May 16th. Of course there are many historical events I could write about. History is a journal of who we are as human beings. Many would have us eliminate all the bad things that have occurred over time. … Continue reading
WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE LEFTOVERS?
I started sewing when I was in 8th grade. It was a requirement of young girls at that time. I struggled to make an apron which finally ended up with poorly sized ties and an upside-down pocket. As time went on, I … Continue reading
SHOP ‘TIL YOU DROP
Yesterday was my first day of Christmas shopping. I visited Hobby Lobby in hopes of finding some crafts I could make instead of investing in high buck gifts this year. I remembered how I used to make beautifully decorated ornaments … Continue reading
CHRISTMASES PAST – part two . . .
My maternal grandmother was always on top of Christmas. She had a lot of grandchildren. They weren’t wealthy – just an ordinary couple of farmers who never failed to remember those they loved. It seemed there was one tradition that … Continue reading
BLACK FRIDAY – ORDER IN CHAOS?
Black Friday shopping? No thanks! I’ve never been one to wait for Thanksgiving to end to go shopping the next day for bargains. I’m probably in the 2% of the population that feels that way. Actually, shopping has become more … Continue reading
GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD
Today is Thanksgiving, 2023. It’s time for us to stuff ourselves beyond capacity – to fill every empty cavity with carbs and sugar – a time to forget about calories and just let ‘er rip. After that, it’s a time … Continue reading
WHAT DOES ABUNDANCE MEAN TO YOU?

FACELESS FRIENDS. . .
When you’re a blogger, there are so many people to interact with. I’ve never met any of them. I know only what I see of them in their postings. Their writings are often thought provoking. They become friends through those … Continue reading

Our lives fill up rapidly with a litany of mistakes – a truckload of foolishness – difficult decisions – fears – hopes – dreams. By the end of each week, our refreshment needs renewal. We’re given this time on earth … Continue reading
WHAT PRICE FOR ART?
I didn’t post yesterday, because we ventured out to church in the morning and then spent the rest of the day on a date together. Usually I post some of Paul’s art on Sundays along with some poetry of mine. … Continue reading
MORE THAN A BRIGHT IDEA . . .
The entire story of Christmas is filled with mysterious events, which can only be believed by faith in the One who made them happen. The story of God’s taking on human flesh, being born of a virgin mother, following the … Continue reading
THE WHOLE STORY IS INCONCEIVABLE
I might be the only one who has made this comparison, but the entire Biblical Christmas story reminds me of the word Vizzini kept repeating over and over in “The Princess Bride.” It is more than inconceivable, it’s unbelievable, miraculous … Continue reading
WHAT IS THE BEST GIFT?
This time of year often turns into a competition of buying the “best” gift or at least thinking we are. Many beautifully wrapped packages appear beneath the tree, with anticipation running high and hopes building. Unfortunately the focus of this … Continue reading
