One week… Last week, Friday, March 18, 20011, my beautiful daughter Kimber married her best friend, Raymond, at noon. The last of our family has left. We still have a few borrowed wedding items to hunt down, and our home has been cleaned (admittedly, it took 6 days to get it clean since my other… Continue reading Reflections of One Beautiful Day
As winter draws to a close here in the Northwest, the hearty daffodils begin to poke their heads up through the leaves, grass and twigs on the surface of the ground, braving the down pour of rain and the whipping of winds. During the dark days of winter it is common to walk by the… Continue reading Dancing with Daffodils
Tonight I went to a HS girls basketball game. The girls played well and worked hard, but in the end they lost the game. I was impressed with most of their attitudes, for the most part. I can’t say that I was too impressed with the attitudes and behavior of the audience around me. Admittedly,… Continue reading Losing Sportsmenship
It’s taken me a few days to process what I truly want to say. I sure hope it comes out the way I intend. This past weekend I spent some time helping a dear friend through the dark night of the soul. It is difficult to see people you love go through dark days and… Continue reading Paint the Light
One thing I’ve learned about parenting is… the teen-years are hard! I miss the sleepless nights of toddlers. Sleepless nights of teens is harder than I expected. When my children were young I used to discard all the stories that circulated about how the teen years would be the crisis time in my child rearing… Continue reading This Is No Picnic in the Park
Yesterday, Mother Nature decided to fill the backyard up with all that winter wonderfulness that kids dream of... well at least for a few hours in the morning. Our usual winter weather is rain. Snowflakes are a welcome change. Snowflakes also bring a new vibe to the house… especially the 7 year old. She was… Continue reading Snow Day
Every waking minute of every day we are bombarded with mixed messages about what to eat and what not to eat. It is hard to wade through the myriad of “knowledge” that can be found in the big wide world. Fast food, comfort/reward food, snack food, convenience food, fad diet plans with their very own… Continue reading Turning the Food Pyramid Upside Down
I have a couple sisters and a brother who love to run. I’ve never understood why. I know they run for the exercise, but I believe they run to condition themselves and because they enjoy the burn. I have never run a ¼ mile race, let alone a marathon, but I have a dream of… Continue reading Endurance
Back in the day women were desperate to have that “hour glass” figure. They would cinch themselves into uncomfortable tight corsets thought by many to be a vessel of sin. In a desperate attempt to achieve the ideal, some women had their lower ribs surgically removed. Wow. We haven’t progressed much, have we? "Corset diseases"… Continue reading Stud Fashion Muffin
(Modified from a post from 2011) I’ve been struggling of late to simplify my life — a rather difficult task I might add. There is simply too much of everything, too many distractions, and I need peace. The problem of simplification is a common struggle among my friends and family. “Life is really simple, but… Continue reading Keeping it Simple
