“Someone Like You”
We all need something good in our lives, something that lifts us up, makes us forget the bad, reinforces the fact that there are good people all around us, and reminds us that God Himself is good. (according to Psalm 100:5 and Psalm 107:1 and others) I experienced that this week when I went to…
Medicare and Me?
I’ve always considered Medicare something that I would need much later in life. Medicare has always been for old people. Grandma talked about it. After she was gone, eventually my parents talked about it–which Supplement or Advantage Plan to buy, whether Medicare would cover certain medications or procedures, or even if Medicare would still be…
Remembering Thanksgiving
At the risk of writing another unnecessary article about the meaning of Thanksgiving, I’d like to share a few words on what I think it’s all about. Yes, Thanksgiving Day is the fourth Thursday of November and it’s generally attributed to the Pilgrims who gave thanks for their bounty after they settled in the New…
Oh, Lahaina
I never thought I would get to see Hawaii, but careful saving and using a Southwest credit card to pay for daily expenses allowed me to go early this summer. My friend Paula and I found ourselves on the beautiful island of Maui for the first time in June. Yes, it was beautiful–a paradise. It’s…
Titche’s & Dr. Dolittle
There comes a time in a child’s life–it was at age 10 or 11 for me–that he or she feels not quite a kid and not quite an adult. One Christmas season my parents took me and my sisters and brother to visit my uncle, aunt, and cousins in Duncanville, about an hour from our…
Where have I been?
Good question! I haven’t written a blog post in months! And someone pointed out to me that I never wrote about the trip of a lifetime that I got to take back in September of 2022. I experienced the thrill and privilege of traveling to Italy. Potete crederci? (Can you believe it?) I joined my…
I Wish it was Christmas Today
Not really. But that little skit from Saturday Night Live featuring Horatio Saenz, Jimmy Fallon, Chris Kattan, and Tracy Morgan playing and singing that little Christmas song makes me smile every time. Look it up on YouTube. “I don’t care what your mama says; Christmastime is here.” It’s been a busy fall and summer. I’ve…
Fifth Grade Follies
It was in the fifth grade that I began writing stories. I don’t recall exactly what I wrote but I shared my work with friends, and at one time, my teacher. Any feedback they might have given me is not in my memory banks, so maybe it wasn’t that good? I don’t know. I do…
Stone Groan
It was a perfect weekend for camping–temps in the 80’s, fair skies. It was a bit windy so I really couldn’t set much outside but I managed to decorate my site and make it a glamping fit. It was a Get’away Gals campout, so as is our custom we met Thursday evening for a “BYODinner”…
Don’t Wake Me: I’m Dreaming
It’s weird how a dream can have an effect on your whole day. I wake up and sometimes go back to sleep just to continue the dream, and somehow it happens. When I finally wake up for the day I can’t seem to shake the memory of what I dreamed, and often I don’t want…
