Labor Day
In honor of Labor Day (tomorrow), and the fact that we were at a church campout most of the week, I am taking this week off from my normal blog post. I love collecting pathway photographs.

Choices
This week has been extremely busy, with lots of pivot moments and choices between what I was planning to do and what I felt like I needed to do. For instance, we were supposed to travel to Tennessee for several days and get home just in time for a campout at the coast. The travel Continue reading

Invitation To Tea

My Dad and His Son
Even though I didn’t know him very well, I grew up living with, and getting to know my Dad – his mannerisms, the kind of music he liked, the way he laughed, the little curl on one side of his mouth when he talked. I don’t remember how old I was when I “knew” or Continue reading

Have What You Use,
And Use What You Have. Many years ago, I went grocery shopping with a very close friend. I was amazed at how different our grocery lists were. It was then I realized most of us have very different shopping habits, based on a number of things including the kinds of meals we prepare on a Continue reading

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

Almost 60
This week, I enjoyed a quiet celebration of my 59th birthday. We ended up spending 2 nights at the coast, where I really enjoyed my walk on the beach and lots of time to sit and listen to the waves crashing on the shore. We didn’t watch TV or read the news. Ray worked from Continue reading
