BACK TO WORK

I live in a small town where I went to school and graduated high school. You get to know people when you've been around them for a long time. Some people I know by face only...no name, but I have seen them out and about for decades. We stop and visit once in awhile...even though… Continue reading BACK TO WORK

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

And now it starts....a new year; new resolutions, new plans and hopes. Christmas decorations are put away to wait until the end of the year, we begin to look forward to spring. Gardeners start looking through garden magazines, all us ladies start looking for new clothes for the coming spring and summer. Just one day… Continue reading HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

LAST DAY OF 2019

Last day of the year. Tomorrow is a new day and a new year. I was on Facebook earlier and watched the midnight countdown in HongKong. Strange to realize that it's already a new year in some parts of the world, but several hours away here. We always knew it was a different time and… Continue reading LAST DAY OF 2019

MOUNTAINS AND VALLEYS

Tomorrow I am heading east to Colorado to visit my daughter...mountain country! I live in the Northern Sacramento Valley in California; almost right in the center of it. We are 162 feet above sea level. The Sierra Nevada Mountains rise to the east of us and the Coastal Range to the west. Mount Shasta sits… Continue reading MOUNTAINS AND VALLEYS

A POEM BY LONGFELLOW

A PSALM OF LIFE by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow What the heart of the young man said to the Psalmist Tell me not, in mournful numbers,Life is but an empty dream!For the soul is dead that slumbers,And things are not what they seem.Life is real! Life is earnest!And the grave is not its goal;Dust thou art,… Continue reading A POEM BY LONGFELLOW

FICTION VERSUS FAITH

I like science fiction movies and books. They are great fun. Fantasy adventure for adults. But...they aren't real and when reading or watching something from the sci-fi genre, it is good to remember that. So many of these movies/ TV shows/ books try to present theories that exclude God and His creation of the universe.… Continue reading FICTION VERSUS FAITH

OUTRAGEOUS MISFORTUNE

Yesterday I stubbed my toe. I stubbed my toe and my big toenail was ripped away! Yes...ouch! But nearly two months ago, when I was in London, all the walking I did with my big toenail being pounded by the toe of my shoe, my toenail was injured. It was bruised and damaged and turned… Continue reading OUTRAGEOUS MISFORTUNE

ANOTHER MURDEROUS RAMPAGE

The news out of Gilroy, California is tragic today. Three people were killed for no apparent reason except that a man decided he could. Senseless and horrible are the only way to describe acts like this. Gilroy has been putting on a garlic festival every year for a long time. It is usually a fun… Continue reading ANOTHER MURDEROUS RAMPAGE
