One of my biggest loves about autumn are the pumpkins and scarecrows. I have a passion for pursuing new and personality-ladened ones to add to my collection, or just to admire. Hence, my wonderful husband tolerates this adventure because he knows I will eventually make his favorite autumn dessert: No-bake pumpkin pie. But it makes … Continue reading Scarecrows In A Cucumber Field

Airport Protocols
Not a good way to start the day off; I put the Southwest worker in a bad mood! He asked me to move aside twice. My boarding pass would not load, and then I brought up my hubby’s instead of mine. 🤦🏼♀️ As I smiled through his impatience, I wondered why ALL airports could not … Continue reading Airport Protocols

Today has been hard saying goodbye to granddaughters! 😭 But we are excited to have arrived in Falcon, Colorado for my hubby to speak at a Missions Conference starting this evening where good friends pastor.

Not exactly what I had planned but so thankful to get answers to the issues that have flared up recently besides old ones that had no answer. The mind of man plans his way, But … Continue reading Ordered Steps!
Destination: Colorado
Here I am. My alarm woke me at 3 a.m. And now I sit sipping on a hot “unsweetened” earl grey tea waiting for my flight ✈️ To be honest with you: I really am just tolerating the tea, especially without sweetener. I LOVE Starbucks! And I love their cold brew pumpkin with the cream … Continue reading Destination: Colorado
Music is not in Externals, but the Soul
Those of you who follow my blog know my favorite devotional is probably my Streams in the Desert 1. No matter how many times I read the stories, they still move me to tears. And one of my favorite accounts is about the great violinist, Paganini. He came out before his audience one day and … Continue reading Music is not in Externals, but the Soul

After hearing and reading much on Juicing, I wanted to do something different for my fifth “no dairy, no sugar” fast. My sweet, generous hubby let me investigate, and along with the help of my eldest daughter, I found the ideal juicer. I need to divulge; I’ve become a little obsessed. I love juicing, not … Continue reading Masterpiece
Last Lap!
In my little hometown of Reeves, growing up with basketball as the favored sport was inevitable. And getting to play basketball was an honor. Anyone who has played a sport knows the conditioning it takes to get into shape to play in the game. Without a doubt, some of the greatest words you could ever … Continue reading Last Lap!
