Saturday was almost perfect weather for a walk in the park. The sun was shining, the temperature just right for fall, and the wind had a chill to it, but not much. Early morning the Papas asked if I might be interested in joining them for a stroll at Eagle Creek Park. This park is… Continue reading Eagle Creek Park

There are times when life feels like it is just coasting or when it is in the valley of the ebbs and flows. A quick way to feel a little better, even for a moment or two, is to be with the ones you love and who love you. The past couple of weeks has… Continue reading Filling My Bucket

I didn’t think it would ever happen, but I’ve reached the end of the shows I’ve been wanting to watch. The others on my list are being released on a week-by-week basis—so old-fashioned and archaic. Now I’m not sure what I should watch next. I’m open to any new suggestions. The only thing I’m not… Continue reading What to Binge Now?

The weather was just right on Saturday, and a little challenging on Sunday. My chore list for the weekend was to close out some yard work and the garden. It wasn’t a long list, just a list that could take a little while to accomplish. Before I could get to the closing out part, I… Continue reading Closing Out the Season

We were brainstorming a podcast we want to produce and record. We started talking about recording a podcast together several months ago.… Continue reading A New Project

Just as a song sometimes gets stuck in ones head, I will get a word stuck in my head. Usually the word arrives on an event currently happening, or a memory from long long ago. Bittersweet is the word running laps in my mind right now. It first came to mind as I contemplated the… Continue reading Word of the Day: Bittersweet

With the country and world in what seems to be a downward spiral, the future for myself, my children, and my grandchildren, along with everyone else’s, have been on my mind. Everyday we seem to see evermore unChristian-like behavior by people calling themselves Christians. As we’ve seen the devolution of Christian thought and behavior, I… Continue reading Evolution of Thought
