The Little Things

A few years ago our granddaughter colored a picture for us. Like most kids she loves to color, now she’s on to the fancy books they make for even adults now. The crayons have been put aside for colored pencils, which now come in their own carrying case. Anyway, as I said our granddaughter colored…

A Mother’s Day Prayer

As we celebrate today the gift of moms, I wanted to just offer this prayer. Being a mother is one of the most treasured gifts that God gives us. There is really nothing like it, well, maybe being a grandmother, but that’s for another day 🙂 . I’m blessed with two beautiful and amazing daughters.…

Stop and Smell the Coffee (and the danish)

We had dinner with some great friends last night. This small group of friends has gotten together several times over the past year. We tend to go to places we’ve never been, and last night was no different. While at dinner though we were chatting about some of the past places we’d been to and…

There are times in our lives when the unexpected occurs. Kind of an understatement given the last several years. I guess at the end of the day though, how do we handle it? If you read this little blog yesterday you know that last night I was excited to attend a concert, by a group…
