Recipes
A few weeks ago, I said I would post a couple of favorite recipes I enjoyed when I was a girl. I really thought I had hand-written cards from my family for both of them in my binders (see “Better Than A Recipe Box?“), but alas I could find neither. I only found one card… Continue reading

My Project
Wow… Where has the week gone? I just realized it is Sunday evening, and I completely missed my Website Wednesday! Well, I can tell you it was for good reason, since we embarked on our annual “Family Retreat” for the 4th year in a row on Wednesday (…but that is another story). The big news… Continue reading

Houses and HOMES
Last week, I wrote about several mansions/historic homes that we visited on our 36th anniversary trip. One of the docents made a comment about how hard it was to piece together history about the people who had built, and subsequently dwelt, in the home during the 100 years or so before it became a museum.… Continue reading

A View Of The Beginning
My favorite place to sit in my home is in front of the fireplace on my leather recliner. I can enjoy the warmth of the flames and watch the birds through the large windows that face the natural conservation area behind our property. This morning, I was really enjoying the view of the Coburg hills… Continue reading

Progress!
In the same week I finally had my last day of “working” for the Junction City Grange, I completed my research for publishers holding the rights to the songs I’m planning to include in my new custom song book! So next week I’ll start the process of submitting requests to the publishing companies: Once I… Continue reading

Whisper & Sing
This whimsical picture, that is now in the center of my LifeLyrics logo for my website, was created about 15 years ago for a musician in Australia. Ray Cochrane of Pygmy Beat befriended me as I was trying to learn how to produce audio recordings of my music. He asked me to record new vocals… Continue reading

Full Circle
With only a few days left of 2023, I thought it would be good to share one of my stories. It was a little over 35 years in the making, and I just found out our oldest daughter didn’t know the pictures below are 35+ years apart in front of the same tree! This is… Continue reading

Dreams Coming True
Realizing a dream is still a journey, and the steps rarely resemble the idea of it. Over 20 years ago, I wrote my first song. I shared it with my closest friends with trepidation. I sang it in church with a shaky voice and then kept it locked away for some time. I wondered if… Continue reading

Solving Mysteries in Histories
For the past several weeks, I’ve been in the midst of organizing documents spanning almost 100 years of history. In the beginning of this quest, my main objective was to make important information easily accessible to the members of the nonprofit organization who own the documents and the building they have been stored in since… Continue reading
About Me
Thinking about the line from Karen Carpenter’s song, “…don’t worry that it’s not good enough for anyone else to hear…” I have been inspired to “just sing” (and write, and share).
I produced a weekly blog for a little over a year, but now I’m committed to one article a month. I hope to give a little inspiration to those passing by, either through my blog articles or within the other pages I’ve created here.
