It is literally over the river and through the woods to this Grandmother’s house in Duval, Washington. I can just picture it from the viewpoint of sitting in a sleigh with a horse high stepping it to the jingling cascade of Christmas bells. Of course, I would be tucked beneath several layers of warm blankets, [...]
Being just a hop, skip and a jump away from May is just unreal. Time doesn’t seem to keep a steady pace; it either speeds or crawls … or both. It crawls when you are waiting for something, speeds when you have a deadline. Most of my winter was spent waiting; waiting for appointments, waiting [...]
My writing these days has been to the diary of a support group I’ve found that has been set up for people with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. It seems like that (that being the disease) has been on my mind a lot the last four months (I wonder why) and I haven’t felt it was appropriate [...]
I wish I would take my own advice more often. I know a lot of stuff. I seem to know a plethora of stuff because of all the reading and living I do. Oh yes, I have plenty of “know how”. What I seem to not have enough of is “follow through” or I would [...]
It was our first real nippy day here in the desert and from the warmth and safety of our home I’ve loved it. I love Fall but I also love when Fall weather starts morphing into Winter. Here in Southern Utah, that’s about where it stops most of the time … right in the middle [...]

I don’t know why these pictures have so much space between … don’t think it is over until you go scroll down to the bottom. This needlework picture caught my eye … since it is hanging right to the left of the door of our motor home. It’s almost 44 years old now. I didn’t [...]
Technorati Tags: Wishing,blessings On Sundays I often count my blessings. Not that I’m not aware of my blessings on the other six days of the week, because in general I think I’m a grateful person. But, on Sundays, it is quiet and peaceful, and I think back over the years of my life and I [...]
We’ve been remembering … and remembering … those we love who are gone, those we love who aren’t gone … those we love who have loved and fought for their country both through wars, and through righteous living and hard work. This week the motor home was meticulously washed and waxed by Angi and Steve [...]
Visits to the dentist now days are a snap compared to visits to the dentist when I was a little girl in the 1950’s. I had a root canal today and was actually relaxed during the entire process. I didn’t even feel the needle as he put my tooth, lip, nose, and cheek to [...]
