My mind is hard-pressed on Irma and Florida – where loved ones abound. Watching the cone; mapping the coordinates. Praying non-stop. Never saying amen. Nothing is taking precedence over this prayer and watch vigil. I peeked into the FMF party and sent blessings and a request to pray – these are true friends and I… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: GUIDE
Yesterday, I worked hard. I work hard every day but Thursday was a day of physical labor. We live in a 65-year old farmhouse, in which the original windows hang. I washed TWO windows yesterday. Doesn’t sound like much, does it? However, each window has 5 layers, an exterior side and an interior side =… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: SPEAK
I did do a stealth drop-in last night to the Five Minute Friday crowd – no one knew I was there and I did see several familiar faces and a whole lot of new ones. One knows something is healthy when it grows and attracts new – this is a very good thing. Kate was… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: COMFORT
Last night I dropped in on Kate Motaung and the Five Minute Friday Twitter party to say hello. I didn’t stay but a moment – by scanning the screen I could see that Kate was traveling as well as several others. There were a few new names, although I didn’t stick around to introduce myself….

Five Minute Friday: PLAY!
No party. No FMF dreams. But Kate did say a fun word last night… 00:00 What a great word for the best week of the summer! I do like the week of 4th of July. Seems long and stretched out like the long, warm, languishing days of summer. You know, those lazy, hazy, crazy days… [Read More]
