It has been over twenty minutes and the barking hasn’t stopped. I know why Bee is barking and I am just going to let her continue until she gets tired and comes in. About an hour ago, Bee walked through the doggy door with a happy swagger and a dead squirrel in her mouth. SheContinue reading “Bee’s Happy Swagger”

The Straight and Narrow
Most mornings, right after the sun comes up you can find me taking my two French Bulldogs for a three mile stroll around the neighborhood. These two dogs love to walk and can be very competitive with one another. Bee, our black and white dog, usually takes a straight and narrow approach to walking. SheContinue reading “The Straight and Narrow”
Billowing Clouds
I am sitting at a table overlooking the beach and feeling extremely grateful for the incredible view that I am witnessing. A storm just came through and the ocean has turned from choppy to a smooth lake like surface. I can still hear the thunder rolling in the distance. Everyone has left and I findContinue reading “Billowing Clouds”
Blueberry Crunch
Last night I prepared a Blueberry Crunch for some friends that were coming over to play Bridge. Once we had finished dinner and began playing cards, no one seemed interested in the dessert. The full casserole dish of scrumptious blueberries, pineapple, and pecans over a layer of a yellow cake mix stood dormant on theContinue reading “Blueberry Crunch”
With the Help of a Walking Stick
It just wasn’t what I thought it would be. From the brochure and name of the cabin, I was certain we would have a creek running through the property where we could walk down with fishing poles and hopes of a big catch. But as we turned off the road where the river winded besideContinue reading “With the Help of a Walking Stick”

This morning as we arose a dense cloud had enclosed in on us so that all that could be seen wereContinue reading “Living in a Cloud”
Home Again, Home Again
There is a unique feeling I acquire when pulling up in my driveway after a long day of being away. Often I can find myself saying a little phrase that I learned when I was a young girl. “Home again, home again, jiggidy jog.” Not having an idea of what it means, I like theContinue reading “Home Again, Home Again”
In All Things
There are many days when I just can’t figure out how a situation will be resolved. If I am not careful, I will plunge into a state of worry and play the scenario over and over again in my head. If the situation stays unresolved, it becomes baggage that hangs out with me like anContinue reading “In All Things”
My Unmarked Road
Writing the book, Here We Go Joe has given me an opportunity to push past my fears and walk down an unmarked road. Even the obstacles, challenges, and detours this road has laid out before me have been worth traveling. A time of rediscovering, digging deeper into my inner soul. Allowing life to take onContinue reading “My Unmarked Road”
Rain Showers
It’s been weeks since we had our last good rain shower. Yesterday, I had several flowers just shrivel up and die in the intense heat. One day they were thriving and the next gone. As I woke ready to play tennis and walk the dogs, I realized that God had different plans. The sky wasContinue reading “Rain Showers”
