“Never a Christmas morning, never an old year ends, but someone thinks of someone: Old days, old times, old friends.” – Leslie McManus
I had one of those flip-over calendars on my desk when I was working and, on December 20th, this quote was used.  It stuck in my mind.  I had that calendar for [...]

The last couple of days have been busy again.  It’s amazing how much busier our house is with one more person in it!  Not that Phil requires taking care of.  He is very non-intrusive.  But he is on a quest to straighten out some kinks in his life, and we are trying to help all [...]

As touched on in last night’s post, I’m feeling reflective with the advent of the new year.  Many of  you may be feeling the same way.  Not only are we ending an old year and beginning a new one, but we are also ending the old decade and heading into a new one of those, [...]

We are, of course, approaching a new year.  2010 is upon us.  Now we can start pronouncing it “twenty-ten,” instead of two thousand ten.    At this time of year, most of us are about new year’s resolutions or, if not those, we are probably at least reflective and wondering what next year will [...]

As you are, I am finding myself meeting me coming back, so to speak.  These few weeks have been incredibly busy, and the next few days promise to be the same.   After tonight, I am going to take a very brief  break from blogging until after Christmas.  I will try and be back on Sunday [...]

Just a brief explanation as to why I haven’t been here for a couple of days.  It has been another incredibly busy week with two short out-of-town trips, and I just ran out of steam!  I will be back on Sunday evening as usual.  Everyone please have a safe and good weekend.  Much love and [...]

Was it Romeo who said, “Goodbye, parting is such sweet sorrow?”  That’s a really a good way of putting it, whomever it was that said it.
We said goodbye today to our dear friend and sister, Carolyn.  We drove the 90-mile trip to Milan to attend her memorial service and try to be a comfort to [...]

We did two Christmasy things today!  Had lunch with friends Coleen and Liz, Coleen driving over from Arkansas and Liz being here from Atlanta.  These girls are true friends, and we always enjoy spending time with them.  These times for all four of us to be together will be further apart now, since Liz has [...]

Below you will find the text of my November 19, 2008, post in which I told you about Carolyn and Junior.  They have been a very special couple and dear friends in the Lord.  I will write more in a couple of days about her, but I wanted to come on here tonight and tell [...]
