So Far Away
An old Carole King song has been playing in my mind all day today. There’s a reason for that. All three of my kids are away. All exactly where they should be at this time in their life. But it doesn’t always make it easy for us, and today was one of those difficult days. … Read More
Books and Seven
It’s a blog of 7’s on Pastor Ryan’s blog today. I spent a good part of today (on and off) trying to decide if I wanted to join in. Because, well, I’m shy. No, really, I am! Take a look at my list, then page down to see my bookshelves! Here’s a list of the last seven books … Read More

Seriously?
I dropped my old razor in the shower the other day, which caused it’s demise….after shaving only one leg! Finishing with just the top (blade) portion, without the handle was a challenge, but I managed, vowing to buy a new one on the way home from work.

More Time Than Money? ~ Or More Money Than Time?
Hmmmm. Have I ever had more time than money? Sometimes I think I have. For instance when I was out of work for a couple months – I had more time than money. I can’t imagine what it would be like to have more money than time. Someone with a terminal illness or a loved one dying could care … Read More
