cozy up
For you who might be chilled and away from lovely, ambient heat.Or, if you’re warm like me and have let the real fire go out already. Dust off a good book. Feet up, music in the background. Enjoy. (Ignore football.)

still thankful*
Day after the holiday. The table’s smaller.Even the most learned among us take time for play, while the fuzzy one acts his usual way.And then we notice, sprouting from the ground out front…Seems the holidays continue. (Some of us are afraid of how it will look after dark**.) But you gotta love the energy behind … Continue reading

my little kitchen and I…
…sometimes we do all right. Today the aromas, tastes, and sights were worth the unaccustomed work. My daughter mashing potatoes (fresh from our sleeping garden, thanks to a hubby’s shovel) and then fixing gravy was the help I needed. Tonight things are cleaned up, guests have gone home, I’ve sipped white zinfandel with my feet … Continue reading

ducky dilemma
I have a decision of some import to make. Or perhaps I don’t really have to decide, and most likely this is not important at all. But please don’t tell any football fans I said so. What’s up is a college game this next weekend. My nephew plays in the marching band at the school, … Continue reading

sorry…
Again, I have nothing much to offer in the posting department. I watched this movie on DVD today and recalled the intense emotional impact of it, alongside my kids, who were seeing it for the first time. Later I napped, and beyond that made sure there was still enough wood on the fire to keep … Continue reading

grump interrupted
Brindy clicks her way down the hall and sniffs at the crack beneath my door. She wants me out there with her. Microsoft Word just gave me this ———— beneath my words, when all I did was enter this *** after a paragraph. I spent a half hour trying to get this ——— to disappear … Continue reading

Wow, Gmail just came up with the coolest thingy. I got to pick a theme for my email account screen. (Their new themes are under “settings”). I chose one with a tree (I like those). After it was applied, I noticed raindrops striking the top of my Inbox, and the tree at the page’s bottom … Continue reading

before a nap
Not much news at my house, though friends are going through difficulties in varying ways. I’m thankful that the story told here turned out better than it could have. I’m praying for their family, and for at least four more amid stress and change. Tim’s aunt, still in the hospital, is doing better. I want … Continue reading

so much, so little, so
I’m reading Facing East, by Frederica Mathewes-Green, and I’m getting a lot out of it, so I’ll continue to feast on it this afternoon, being exhausted after a trip to see Tim’s dear aunt who had cancer surgery last week (thank heaven for the automatic post option on Blogger, so I didn’t miss yesterday), and … Continue reading

cardio and hiding away, yes
A year ago I spent lots of time by myself. I do enjoy my own company, but things had probably swayed a bit far into Cast Away mode. Those crayon depictions on my office wall of Greek letters and scenes from Kierkegaard’s life, well… Ahem. This November things couldn’t be more different. In fact. Today … Continue reading
