This morning, I listened to a minister who talked about trusting God. Whenever I see these messages, I wonder if it is a gentle 'poke' from God, directing to me to reflect, so I examined my own heart and my relationship with Him. I've spoken about prayer and God's responses to me, but this morning... Continue Reading →
Finishing Projects
I have several projects that I've had on hold, and this week I am trying to finish some of them. I finally finished a macrame project last night, that I started this summer, from the wood that came from the large white oak tree that we cut down in our front yard. A half round... Continue Reading →
The Power of Prayer
I'm wanting to write about the Power of Prayer today. There have been so many times throughout my life that my prayers have been answered, and though there are some that believe that I should not bug God with anything but the biggies, I want to say that I pray to Him for everything I...

Why Wouldn’t You Think to Look in the Sink?
I am at my family's home this week, hanging out and helping them catch up on some projects. They have lots of children, ages ranging from teen to two, and because kids will be kids, it follows that items one cannot find, might have been placed in unconventional locations. Today was such a day. I... Continue Reading →
Selective Hearing Loss
I have selective hearing loss. What I mean is that I only hear what I want to hear, usually if I am in the middle of something and am concentrating and deep in thought. I won't hear children screaming, I won't hear a timer going off, I won't hear my Hubbin talking to me, until... Continue Reading →
Halloween Trick-or-Treaters
All trick-or-treaters who come to my door and ring the doorbell on Halloween will get candy, no judgement from me! This is the one night that if you merely show up, you'll get treated, young or old, costumed or no. I give treats to the parents too. If you're little, this may be your first-ever...

“Life is short…”
I have a book that has a lot of writing prompts in it, and today when I was on the phone with my son, I picked it up and flipped to a page, thinking I would ask him how he would respond to one of them. The prompt was, "Life Is Short..." Son: "...but my... Continue Reading →
Finding A Needle in A Haystack…
A week or so ago, I was trying to thread a needle and it slipped out of my hands and dropped down to the carpet. I tried to catch it with my legs but was not successful. Side note: I realized instantly just how dumb that was and how much it would have hurt if... Continue Reading →
Creating a 2024 -Temperature Range Wall Art
There's a year-long project I'm going to start on January 1st. When the idea originally came to me, it was in the form of a knitting or crocheting project, but since I don't do either of them well, I decided to modify it and do it as a piece of unique wall art instead. Here's... Continue Reading →
Wasn’t In the Mood to Paint…
I should have listened to my inner voice tonight but decided to continue work on the Family Room by starting to paint the ceiling, instead of waiting until the light of day. I painted around the edges where the ceiling meets the walls, as well as a fourth of the room's ceiling. I felt pretty... Continue Reading →
