So, members of the U.S. Senate can’t agree on things really important to the country; like the economy, the future of COVID responses, or what to do to help the people of Ukraine, but they can pass a bi-partisan “Sunshine Protection Act.” Like the sun really needs protection. Last time I checked it seemed to

Let’s War No More

As I shared on Facebook yesterday, the attack on Ukraine has hit me hard. Not because I have family or friends there. Just because I so hate the fact of war. That we keep having them. That we keep sending young men and women to die. In the early 60s when I was going to

Is it snowing where you live? No snow here, but it’s cold enough to dispense a few flakes if the weather had a mind to. I’ve always enjoyed snow, and it was always fun to have a blanket of white out at Grandma’s Ranch. Sometimes I still miss it. The snow and the ranch. In

In the past couple of years I’ve met, and befriended, Cathy Miller on Twitter. We connected initially, when I asked her if she was a cousin from Michigan. That cousin went to the same high school I did, and I knew her long before I met her cousin, Carl, who became my husband. When I

One of the joys, and sometimes a time-suck, of the Internet is starting with one thing that leads to another, then another, sometimes so many places you forgot where you started. Confused? Yeah, so am I. 🙂 So, this is how it started. I came here yesterday to put a few notes in for today’s

It’s almost time to plant pansies here in Texas. I can’t wait. A friend sends me daily devotionals and the following story is just part of it. The story’s been repeated many times, with some variations, but it always makes me smile. Do our part, buy a ticket “There is an old story of a
