Late breakfast (yep paper plate and plastic cup…eating by the pool!) on this glorious Saturday morning. A soaking rain yesterday afternoon left sparking drops on the top of the birdcage, like glittery diamonds overhead. The almost cloudless sky is a perfect color of blue. The few marshmallow puffs float lazily by. The winds are mildContinue reading “The Joy of a New Day”

I grew up an only child, and actually an only grandchild on my Mother’s side. I spent many weekends with my grandparents. They entertained me constantly, going to movies, going to the country to buy eggs, driving to Tyler and Houston to see family, the Dallas Eagles baseball games at Burnett Field (with my grandpa!)Continue reading “For the Love of Dolphins”

Ah the beauty of a perfect bluebird day of skiing. If you grew up in the southern part of the United State, you have to plan ski trips around a vacation. The ski area may be a days drive or a flight and then drive to the area. One must be prepared to ski everyContinue reading “Just Reminiscing”

It’s Sunday. I watched Andy Stanley’s message at North Point Community Church in Alpharetta GA as usual. Andy teaches you, he talks to you, never “preaches” at you. Today’s message is Pivotal Circumstances; what would your response be when life takes you by surprise. What happens when your personal faith is tested, anger, panic, doubt?Continue reading “Reflections”

What does perception mean to you? The dictionary: the act of perceiving or apprehending by means of the senses or of the mind. Writing today was not on the list of to do’s, but because of a post by an acquaintance, one for whom prayers are lifted daily, due to a crushing diagnosis of glioblastoma.Continue reading “Perception”

Many of my friends and family have chosen a word for 2021. As of January, not one word had touched my heart enough to share or write about it. So my word which just came to my heart recently, is balance. There are so many varying definitions of balance, I’ll try to explain what thisContinue reading “Balance”

So the adventure continues…what an adventure it was! Tuesday night after the week end reunion, Mike picked me up on a motorcycle! Didn’t ask if I would ride behind him but he did ask my girls if I could ride with him. Lisa responded…”but you don’t have a helmet!” He promised he would be extraContinue reading “Love to grow on…part deux”

Who believes in love at fist sight? I didn’t think I did! Six years divorced, headed to a new career, nursing school! Wow…well yeah lots of older people go back to school. It wouldn’t be easy with two young girls, but their dad was a help (and hero) I could not have imagined. I metContinue reading “Love to grow on…part I”

I grew up on country music. Living in Texas I think that may be a given. But my parents were both huge fans…I’m talking Marty Robbins, gentleman Jim Reeves, Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, Eddie Arnold, Hank Williams, and the list could on for pages. We had a very large radio/record player console. ItContinue reading “I’m a little bit country”

“The days dwindle down to a precious few.” Although these lyrics are from September Song, it certainly is relevant to the closing of 2020. Weather in Florida is like none other, that I have experienced anyway. This morning the sun is shining on droplets of morning dew, sparkling like diamonds, left from the nighttime fairies.Continue reading “Good Morning Sunshine”
