It’s To Die For

January 31, 2023 by admin 16 Comments

But, Is It? You’ve heard the expression, right? Someone suggests you just have to try such and such because “it’s to die for.” Personally, I don’t like the expression because at 72 years old I want things “to live for!” Can I get a witness! But, Today… I want to share something with you that… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: Middle

May 14, 2021 by admin 9 Comments

Kate said middle. Not the first and not the last but “stuck” in the middle. Is the middle really being stuck though? I don’t think so. I am on the other side of middle age now – and looking back I loved the middle. If I could freeze time at a certain age I would… [Read More]

The Man In The Middle

Luke 23.43

The Man In The Middle This past weekend my husband’s cousin came to visit us in Tiny House – we had a marvelous time. One of the things we did, on Saturday, was go downtown Greer. We had a fabulous lunch at Select, and then we did a walk-about. The revitalization project of Downtown Greer… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: SETTLE

March 30, 2018 by admin 18 Comments

Kate was at her book launch party and was rather excited and beside herself but she finally said “SETTLE.” I do hope she settled down enough to sleep. Her new book? Can be found here. 00:00 Now y’all know my FMF routine because I wrote about it last week. So as I put my head… [Read More]

The Substitute

February 28, 2018 by admin 28 Comments

I had an epiphany today. In the kitchen. Thinking about my grandkids. They are both going through some pretty tough things. I said to my husband, “I would do anything to take their hard and hurt. Anything.” And, BAM – it hit me and I began to cry. Hubs looked at me and said, “What… [Read More]

Quietude: April 9 2017

April 9, 2017 by admin 9 Comments

A man of sorrows. And we did not care. Those are the words in Isaiah 53 that bring me great pause. Why is it we think of Jesus as our beautiful One? The Word tells us He was “nothing much to look at.” Easy on the eyes? No, not our Jesus. Then, why? Why does God… [Read More]

the cross

March 10, 2016 by admin 27 Comments

  Have you been there? One simple question, “Have you been to the cross?” April is an amazing month. Two of my three children, and one son-in-love, were born in April and several close relatives. The world celebrates Earth Day this month (The earth is the Lord’s; and all its fullness, the world and those… [Read More]

back to the abc’s

August 19, 2015 by admin 29 Comments

I guess it’s safe to say that all writers love letters, words, books, creating outlines, and all the etcetera’s in-between! I find safety in these things – things I can read and form. Put a tray of letter tiles in front of me and suddenly I am forming words, names, places. When I was young… [Read More]

So, this happened yesterday at home. Hubs was tend So, this happened yesterday at home. Hubs was tending his garden bed out in the corner of the common area and almost stepped on this Momma lake turtle, laying her eggs. He went away and returned hours later and found she had dampened the area and laid sticks on top! He framed it out in pic 3. 60 day incubation and then all those wee turtles will find their way back to the lake!!! How cool is that? #lakelife #tinyhousebiglife #fromfarmtoflat2tinyhouse
Yellow doors scream, "You are welcome here! Come i Yellow doors scream, "You are welcome here! Come in! Rest and peace are found within these doors!" 5 years ago this month we left this house, our home for 30 years. We raised one son here, and for A LOT of summers, the old squeaky screendoor opened and closed with the joy of grandkids. Fireflies,  a front porch bat, pussycats, dogs, goats, turkeys, and oinkers grazed the 14 acres. The ring of a blacksmith's anvil clanged for years as my husband designed and created beautiful ironwork. The best goat cheese hung from cheesecloth in its kitchen. Puzzles took shape on the old dining table, and Mexican Train domino challenges snaked along its patina'd surface. Blueberries were picked. Grapes  simmered and bubbled into homebrew! But seasons change. Kids grow and leave home. We grew and left. Happy memories.  Love grew there, and for that, we are forever blessed. Sweet, sweet memories.
