Six-day Riddle

 

 
As I wrote in my last post, I’ll be traveling for the next several days.  So, I thought I’d leave you with a riddle to work on til I get back around the 2nd. 
 
I took this photo.  It’s untouched.  It’s the real deal.  Where is it?  What is it?

Memorial Day Birthday

 
      For most of my married life, my birthday has been lost in the shuffle of Memorial Day weekend.  Time and again it got overlooked because we were out of town or busy with other activities.  So my birthday has become basically a non-event.  Not that we didn’t acknowledge it, it’s just that it was never much of a [...]

Finding My Marbles

 

 
 
I think some of my marbles are missing.  So I’m taking some time off to find them. 
 
You can still reach me by leaving comments.  I’ll be checking my email from time to time and will see them there.  
 
I know I’m going to miss you.  And I may post a photo or short line once in [...]

Mid-day Reverie

 

 
It’s 1:14 p.m.  Mid-day.  Just stepped out onto our front porch to retrieve mail from our box across the street.  Mama robin is still vigilantly brooding in the nest she built under the eves of our front porch.  Last night she weathered quite a storm.  Thunder.  Lightening.  Wind gusts.  Rain.  Exceedingly patient, she is.
 
Strolling the sidewalk and down [...]

Timely Name Dropping

 
For a semi-Wordless Wednesday, I thought it would be fun to post this untouched photo for a little timely name dropping.  I found Dr. Oz to be a very kind, gracious man.   His wife, (not in photo) is adorable, and smart!
 
P.S.  No, I don’t watch Oprah.  I saw the headlines on the web about Dr. Oz’s new [...]

Modeling Mom

 

 
My mother pretty much raised us eight kids by herself because Dad spent most of those years in and out of the hospital.  That meant Mom was really busy.
 
Barely eye-level with the table, I observed her kneading bread and rolling out pie crust.  I watched my mom can peaches, raspberries, and applesauce.  I held my nose [...]

Partying When God’s Will Fails

 
      A couple weeks ago, I posted   It’s Your Call  and   It’s Your Call – A Follow-Up  about forsaking bitterness and embracing forgiveness.  I listed important reasons for letting resentments go but I left one out, which, in the past few days, I’ve been thinking about a lot.  It’s a Scriptural reason which may be the most [...]

HAPPY MAY DAY!

 

 
Give flowers to someone you love.
Including yourself!
Look for someone who would least expect them.
Then bless their day with posies.
Who couldn’t use a smile in the midst of these trying times?
And a reminder that God’s love endures forever!
