I rarely want my picture taken but I asked David to take this of my mom and me tonight. We had gone to the McSwain Theater to see “It’s a Wonderful Life”, my favorite Christmas movie. I love what Clarence the angel inscribes in the copy of “Tom Sawyer” at the end of the movie:…
Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 12 “A Beautiful Sight”
We are blessed to have the beautiful Wintersmith Park here in our little town. Even without leaves on the trees it was gorgeous today.
Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 11 “Green”
Red and green are the traditional Christmas colors and I’m pretty traditional when it comes to Christmas. I do, however, use more of a burgundy rather than bright red, in part because I have burgundy velvet drapes in the family room. And we have dark green carpet so the room is well-suited for Christmas. I…
I want my summer back!
We’ve had such nice warm temperatures but this morning we woke up to this: Not only did we have snow but Chris didn’t park his car parallel to mine. I wasn’t sure if I could go on but I made it through the day. And this was our temperature this morning: Nature is confused. Fall…
Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 10 “Wrapping Paper”

Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 9 “Something You’re Reading”
This is one of the books currently on my bedside table. After watching the PBS special, The Dust Bowl, I was eager to read more about it. I well remember my grandmother’s stories about that time – wish I had asked even more questions. My parents are going to come watch it with me and…
Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 8 “Ornament(s)”
Every year each of us gets a new Christmas ornament in our stocking, usually something from Hallmark. We’ve been married 31 years so that’s a LOT of ornaments. Lisa took hers with her when she got married but we still have a LOT. Several years ago I also started collecting glass ornaments from the Old…
Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 7 “Bright”
The bright glow of fire. I’ve been wanting to toast marshmallows and make s’mores for weeks and we just never seemed to get around to it. Our temperatures are supposed to take a nose-dive later this weekend so I figured now was our chance. We have a burn pit where David tosses wood and branches….
