Well as you probably know, I'm fairly new to this blogging thing. I was just having fun being an anonymous user when I got shamed into starting my own blog by my son and...... ahem.....another blogger and you know who you are!!!! . Now I've kinda gotten used to the idea and have questions. What does the point system mean? It doesn't seem to make sense to me. I'm guessing more responses more points? One article I wrote only has two responses and many points while another has more resp...

Little things make me happy. Today was a good day. Today I hung out my clothes on the line for the first time this year. That made me smile. It was still a bit chilly but there was a breeze, no snow on the ground and a new clothesline just put up by my husband. So I lugged out my big basket and hung out two loads. I hate using the dryer, not only because I am cheap, but also I think hanging clothes out on a line is a lost art and nothing beats the smell of freshly hung-out -to-dry lau...
This is a true story. It was the summer of 1997, August 23 to be exact. It was a very warm day and as usual I decided to do my run later in the day because of the heat. I can't remember all that I did that day, but I do remember making my son a homemade birthday cake. It was his 15th birthday. Quite often that time of night, around 6 pm, my husband and I would run together. It was still quite light out and cooling off so it should be a good run I was thinking. Since he was anxi...
It's been about two full months of blogging for me. I never really wanted to, felt I really didn't have the time. But then one day after months of trying to talk me into it, my youngest son also a JU blogger set me up (so to speak). "There" he said, "you're all set to go now...blog away." I have to say it's been interesting. For the most part I enjoy meeting and talking with others and seeing the other viewpoints on any given topic. I've always liked to find out how people tick....
What a day!! It was a busy one. It started out in a rush as I hurried out of the house to pick up a friend that needed a ride from the auto repair shop. Together we went to the study that I lead on Thursday mornings. After that was over and a few errands were had, I went to the scrapbook club and scrapped for a few hours. I have been working on my son Brian's scrapbook since about February of this year and am finally getting to his first grade year. I've really got to get on the ball ...
What a numbskull I am!! I can't believe I did what I did today. I was preparing a lesson for a ladies get together tonight. It was going to be a great evening. We were having a homecooked turkey dinner at our precious friend's home ending with my doing a lesson after the dinner. We were expecting dinner for 30. The lesson was on 10 Essentials for Building a Strong Foundation. It was to be both spiritual and physical. For every spiritual truth I had picked out a carpenter's tool ...
I've been on the phone for two weeks trying to help a young 22 year old girl get away from her parents. Now that sounds strange I know but the whole thing was quite bizarre. It shouldn't be like this. It all started when she decided she wanted to move 7 hours away to live in the vicinity of her boyfriend. They had been separated for more than a year while he went to school in another state. He had already offered to help her find roommates and a job before she even got there. They we...
A friend sent me this tonight......thought it was good. Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American G.I. One died for your soul; the other for your freedom.
I can't sleep, had too many diet cokes tonight and i'm wired. I'm actually quite tired but evidentlly not tired enough. Lots going on here so that definitely is a contributing factor as well. David leaves for college tomorrow which is really today now. He is driving 15 hours and being a Mom I will be anxious to hear from him making it safely on the other end. Tonight was his last night at Applebees and he's the one responsible for the soda. We decided to go in for dinner his las...
I don't know but I think I may have had a flashback tonight. I went running late at the end of the day sometime after 7:00. There was a slight rain and with warm temps I decided what the heck? I might as well. Once wet it doesn't matter to the rest of the run. So I went. After running in the blistering heat the last few days, the sunless sky and warm rain was refreshing and it didn't take long for me to know that this would be a good run. I decided that it would be dark soon s...
It was a beautiful day for a wedding. After all the rain we had it was nice to see a sunny day again. Thank goodness it wasn't the week before. The week leading up to this day was extremely busy. The bride's mom could not be there until the Thursday before as she was flying up from Va. So on Thursday when she arrived we spent the whole day decorating the reception hall which basically was our sanctuary in our church. This is the second wedding we had there. On Wednesday night we st...
Wow, what a week we had in sunny Virginia. The whole time we were there it poured and poured and poured here in the Northeast. We have a record 11 inches of rain for the month of May so far here which is about 9 inches above normal I think they said. I am soooooo glad we got to escape the brunt of this gloomy weather at least for a bit. Well we drove straight all day last Thursday arriving at the Natural Bridge Hotel at about 10 pm. All the hotels in the whole state of Virginia it ...
Have you ever done something really stupid? I mean so stupid you even immediately say to yourself..."that was really stupid?" I do once in a while and that once in a while happened on Friday. It kind of smacks of the same stupidity of nailing that piece of wood to my dining table while I was practicing using a hammer and nail. Now that was stupid and I say so everytime I look at the hole in my table. Anyhow on Friday we had no electricity as a storm whipped thru our area. As a resu...
