Friendship
Friendship is an odd phenomenon. My friend Terrie Ann and I have been friends since we were in first grade together. In the years since we graduated from high school, we hardly ever talk and rarely see each other. We keep contact enough, though, through the years so that I still consider her dear. I … Continue reading
Holding Pattern
One of my most troublesome character flaws is that I tend to live in the future. I am always planning and looking forward, and that keeps me from living today sometimes. Right now, I am really struggling with this. If everything goes the way we hope, I have 89 work days left in my teaching … Continue reading
Thirty Two Years
My husband and I just celebrated our thirty-second anniversary. Thirty two years is a long time and we have the wrinkles and scars to prove they’ve happened, but even so, there are moments and days when I fall in love with him all over again. Some couples take up square dancing or become sports fanatics … Continue reading
Summer of 2015
Hey, it’s mid July – well, really a little past mid-July and I haven’t yet started blogging this summer. Darn. Honestly, I planned to as soon as we arrived in St. Croix, but that was right about the time when the Supreme Court went a little whacko and a Bible study in Charleston became a … Continue reading
Caribbean Normal
Ten years ago my husband and I took a cruise. It was the beginning of absolute infatuation with the Caribbean. Fast forward to March of 2013. After visiting several West Indian Islands and researching lots more (plus watching International House Hunters ALL the time!), we focused our infatuation on St. Croix in the US Virgin … Continue reading
Let not your heart be troubled.
I tend to worry about life. I don’t worry about death so much – I am confident that God sent Jesus to take care of that for me (and you), so I can let that one go. But, I do worry about my husband and family. I worry about being the best teacher I can … Continue reading
I was robbed!
The snow is melting. The sun came out today and miraculously the prairie has lost the eight inches of cold white that had covered it. The larger drifts have shrunk, now there are only about two to three feet of snow in front of the house, covering most of the driveway. It sounds as if my hopeful … Continue reading
Spring Blizzards and Warm Thoughts
I’m snuggled in tightly at home today, though it is a Tuesday and my students are sitting in their seats. We are in the midst of a spring blizzard and all the highways are closed, keeping me from being there with them. The powers that be decided not to call off school, even though the … Continue reading
The foulest word in the English language – should
I’ve been a bit under the weather lately, and when the weather here has been below 10 degrees with a wicked wind, that seems a low place to be. It is February 1st, and I’ve already met my insurance deductable for the year. I’ve been prodded and poked, and the bottom line is that there isn’t … Continue reading
What a delight, to be alive and in the mountains on the first day of Fall!
Thursday evening we decided to go camping near Bridger Peak for the weekend. An hour later the trailer was full of food and water and hooked up with the 4-wheelers on behind. After work on Friday, we were off! Saturday morning brought us an absolutely beautiful, mountain morning. The Fall colors were perfect, the weather … Continue reading
