The family room carpet looks awesome!!! Double digit, awe inspiring awesomely clean!         I will have to take the samples back to the carpet place now and tell them I changed my mind.    I just saved $1100.00 that we didn’t have.    Oh the joy!   AND … that isn’t all … !!!

Is Patience Always A Virtue?

I’ve been thinking about “patients” and “patience”, both of which describe my man at the present time.    Patience is definitely his virtue and not mine.    Oh, I am sort of patient.   It just doesn’t always show, because I like to whine about things and be a little bit annoying while I am being patient.   I [...]

goodbye little Friend

That mean old March wind gusted fiercely the other night and uprooted a sweet little tree that blossomed beautifully in our neighborhood every Spring.   With its roots broken and exposed, it didn’t have a chance of recovery, but in one last burst of energy it gave the neighborhood one last gift of delicate, fragrant blossoms.     [...]

Storm Clouds Touch My Heart

The other day the clouds were so beautiful we had to stop several times on the way home from town to look at them and take pictures.     There is something about even the darkest of clouds that make me feel close to God. Like this one makes me remember the song “Look for the Silver [...]

Watching Is What I Do Best …

Lynn bowls me over

Lynn and I went bowling today.   He bowled 129 and I bowled 111, which for me is probably the highest score of my life.    It reminded me of our second official “date”.   We grew up together in the small town of Draper and our best friends were siblings so we spent time together all our [...]

Remembering you, Sherry

Dear Sherry, I sat in the car looking at this beautiful view of the ocean last week while baby Kai napped and the rest of the group went for a tour of a light house.   It gave me a quiet moment to think of you, my dear friend for the past 30 years.   I wanted [...]
