Are ya hit?

This beautiful May weather is just the thing for those of us who dip back into remembrances of yesteryear. It was always the month of May when you could go barefoot and play outside later and later, when the summer clothes came out and the winter clothes went into hiding (only to be too small for you to wear the following fall), when flowers and birds and butterflies made life just too beautiful to mention. Ah, the memories of May!

Lent: Sharing the Passion

Having been raised a Baptist and spent most of my adult life in the Church of the Nazarene, there are certain things that I had not really been aware of in my spiritual walk.

Many years ago I wrote a column for our Sunday School Class’s newsletter. I have been doing some going through things, again trying to simplify my life, when I found this column. So since this is March and March makes me think of spring cleaning, I decided to resurrect it.

Boy! Am I pumped! It is so great to know you have friends who have your back!

I admit that I have a very deep lack of understanding when it comes to tech thingies. Even with great tutoring, I simply cannot seem to understand how to work my website and computers in general. Then put a few days between that tutoring and getting back on the computer and I have totally lost all recall of how to function. Basically, I am a typist. Sigh.

Books. Books are nearly always on my mind! I love them. My parents and siblings loved/love them. My husband and children love them. My grandchildren love them. We love books!

The most recent book I love is one from Chickadee Words, written by Kathy J. Perry. Kathy is a retired school teacher with many skills and talents. She has a series of children's books, as well as other things on her website (chickadeewords.com). But her latest achievement isn't necessarily for small children, like her Bandana Acres books. It is written for 12 - 16 year-olds and it is fascinating! I just got hold of my first copy this morning, and although I have much work to do at my desk, I don't want to put it down.

Welcome to my new blog!

February. What an emotional month! You know. You understand. You really do. I mean, who doesn’t get really worked up and teary-eyed just knowing that Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12th? Who can get all the way to February 22 without reminiscing fondly about George Washington – with all his whatnot – cherry trees, dollars over the waves, footprints in the snow, etc.?
