Motherhood

July 31st, 2007 at 3:56pm |

Today I am Thankful for Motherhood. With all of its joy and sometimes, sorrow there is no finer position to hold. Our friends recently took their eldest son to the University of Minnesota where he will continue his studies in pursuit of his Masters Degree. While it is surely a joy to see […]

Animals Not on the Ark

I am Thankful today for a day to myself. I think everyone needs some time to themselves once in awhile. Time to get back in touch with who you are and what is important to you. We get so caught up in our daily lives doing everything that needs to be done for everyone who […]

The Simple Life

I am Thankful Today for the simplicity of my life. I am not in a hurry to do anything, or get anywhere. I am afforded the opportunity to stop and listen to the things around me, the birds, the animals, the quietness of being. Yesterday I had eleven wild turkeys come through the yard. […]

This is my Symphony

July 26th, 2007 at 12:58pm |

To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not, rich; to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, […]

Heaven

July 26th, 2007 at 9:33am |

A man died and went to Heaven. There were thousands and thousands of people there. Everyone was naked and looked as they did when they were 21 (wow, isn’t that incentive to go to Heaven!). He was looking around to see if he could find anyone he recognised. He saw a couple standing off by […]

Falling Wine

I was in a hot air balloon floating sationary off the coast of France. I dropped two wine bottles over the side, one was full and one was empty. Which wine bottle hit the ground first?

It feels like I haven’t written anything in a long time. I have been Thankful for many things in the past few days. Tim and I went on a spur of the moment tour of Indiana wine country. We saw many beautiful wineries and vineyards. We also did a driving tour of homes along […]

A big Day for Old People :~)

July 21st, 2007 at 3:12pm |

I am Thankful today for the fun day out Tim and I had yesterday. We left early in the morning and went out for breakfast. Then on to the outlet mall, just browsing around. We found some great deals so we both ended up with a few new things. We just shopped around all day, […]
