Boxing Day
All the gifts are unwrapped, thanks have been texted or spoken (but not yet written on formal Thank You cards, which in THIS family is expected and done with good regularity. I’ll get on that in the next few days!) The turkey leftovers are safe in the frig, waiting. I ate six Christmas cookies for … Continue reading
Pleased as Punch
I’m happy to report that my ability to type the elusive letter that falls between an O and a Q has been restored thanks to a quick trip to the local Office Max. The new keyboard is successfully installed and functioning. Yay! Losing the ability to use my P key last week was a tiny … Continue reading
Yikes!! I am so frustrated!
When I awoke this morning, my goal was to blog, it is Monday, you know. I had in my mind to start a series that I have been thinking about for quite some time. Then, technology derailed me. First, I couldn’t log in to my website. Instant stress. I thought maybe there was an issue … Continue reading
Searching for the Green Flash
If you’ve seen the Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, then you are aware that in order to save Jack Sparrow, the crew sets out to see the green flash – which, according to them meant a soul was coming back to this world from the dead. Well, I know that Jesus saved us … Continue reading
Pot Holes
It’s quite funny, really, that one of the great similarities between Wyoming and St. Croix is pot holes. In Wyoming, the drastic changes in temperature – where it can be close to zero as a low temp and just a few hours later the thermometer can be reading in the 60s – contribute to the … Continue reading
Now that we are here…
I am a whiner. Often. I am aware of this and I try not to be. However, small whines often leak out of me unopposed. Now that I have confessed this huge character flaw of mine, I can tell you that for this month I have tried to pray only my thanks and praise. I … Continue reading
Traveling
I’m posting this on Sunday Morning instead of Monday for one important reason: Tomorrow morning, at literally Oh dark thirty, we are heading to the airport to go HOME. We leave out of Dulles at 6 am, go to Miami, then fly to St. Croix. YAY! By 5 o’clock on Monday, Good Lord willing, we … Continue reading
Karl is Retiring today!
Today is a great day! Today my husband retires – we are selling our business, a business he has given heart and hard work to for 14 years. He signs the papers this afternoon and hands over his thriving center to a protege, confident that he has taught her best practices and wishing her all … Continue reading
Heroes
Today is Halloween. Tonight, people of all ages will be dressing up in costumes for parties and for trick or treating. Some people may choose to dress up as a hero. Some may choose to dress up to resemble an athlete who has achieved great fame and accolades for his or her physical abilities. Some … Continue reading
God loves infinite variety
I didn’t blog of Monday because I was in Moab, Utah visiting my friend Mary Jane. (I will blog more about her soon – what an amazing lady!) If you haven’t been to Moab, you need to make plans now. What a stunning place. On Sunday, two friends and I got up early and made … Continue reading
