David and I watched Part I of “The Dust Bowl” tonight and while I thought I knew a lot about that time period, I was still struck by just how disheartening it must have been. I remember my grandmother telling me about how the dust seeped into the houses despite all their efforts to keep…
30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 18
We were in New Orleans two Sundays and then missed last Sunday after our return because we had been out until the wee hours the night before. So it felt really good to be back today. I lost count how many hugs I received. It was great to sing with the choir again and wonderful…
30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 17
Today I am thankful for a lazy day just hanging out with David. We slept late, watched the USC football game, napped and messed about online. Now we are watching our friends performing at the Tropical Isle via webcam. Everyone needs a day like this once in awhile and it’s especially nice if you can…

David and one of our pirate friends, Papillion I am so incredibly thankful for our New Orleans friends.

30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 11
I knew it had to happen at some point. It turned chilly today with highs only in the 40s. But I made the best of it. Today I am thankful for rich, steaming hot cups of chocolate shared with my pirate in a warm and cosy house.
