Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 13 “Family”
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:…

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”

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…
