Another Day

By on Friday, February 22nd, 2013 | 13 Comments

Crawled into bed last night, replaying the moments of my day, and enjoyed the flow of it all.  Naturally, I wanted to write it all down. The day began at my house, where a handful of my close friends (including my mother) sat around my table, Bibles opened, sharing God’s Word, lots of laughs, plenty [...]

When I Travel

By on Saturday, December 8th, 2012 | 8 Comments

When I travel across an island like Java, Indonesia, and I breathe the smog and see the ultra poor… I calm down.  Although I may get caught up in my local politics, and the worries of day to day living, I am reminded that some of these people cannot fathom the luxury of my life.  [...]

Her House

By on Thursday, July 28th, 2011 | 23 Comments

I never knew the woman.  And when she needed to sell her house to move into an assisted living home closer to her children, I felt sad and a little bit guilty about buying it.  I know that story well… someone needing to leave their beloved place behind… the place they’ve called home, where they’ve [...]

Beautiful Names

By on Sunday, June 26th, 2011 | 17 Comments

These are the beautiful names of my great-grandmothers… – - – - And the beautiful names of my grandmothers… – - Would you like to share the beautiful names of your grandmothers and great-grandmothers?  I’d love to “hear” them.  Those names from the past are music to my soul!

Blue Velvet

By on Monday, February 7th, 2011 | 13 Comments

I don’t own a blue velvet dress.  I almost did… once.  It was almost twenty years ago.   Nineteen, to be exact.  I lived right here in Portales, having spent three years living on St. Thomas.  We’d had our right-out-of-college adventure, and were settling into “normal life”.  Gary missed island living more than I, and [...]

Cowboy Hats

I wanted so much to take a photograph today.  It wasn’t possible. But I wanted to share it with others.  It was a set of shelves in the foyer of a church building.  A double row of 1 x 12s above a coat rack.  They were high on the wall, but that’s okay, because they [...]

Cookbook

I have this cookbook… It was a wonderful Christmas present my sister made for our large family of aunts and uncles, moms and dads, cousins, nieces and nephews.  Grandma was in on the surprise, and she also wrote a letter to the family as part of the gift.  It’s a coffee table cookbook filled with [...]

Hostess Snack Sets

By on Tuesday, November 30th, 2010 | 7 Comments

I have this collection of Hostess Snack Sets. I’ll bet someone in your family had a set, if not several.  They’re those beautiful little glass plates, with a little matching punch cup, and an upraised ring on the plate so the cup can’t slide.  They’re delicate and petite… just enough space for a triangular sandwich [...]

Old and Gray

By on Friday, November 26th, 2010 | 15 Comments

I believe I wrote this four years ago.  It may have been more.  This sweet couple is no longer with us.  I woke up thinking about them this morning and had to go find this.  I need the reminder… They have been married for 73 years.   He was born in this territory before New Mexico [...]

Surprise Visitor

By on Wednesday, September 15th, 2010 | 12 Comments

Well, well, well… This day began on such a lovely note.  Gary getting everything ready to make French toast.  Sitting on the glider with the coffee, just relaxing because our house guest was still sleeping.  Gary deciding he’d go check on his jobs.  Me putting a little fertilizer on my honeysuckle hedge in hopes of [...]
