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: PLACE
It was one of ‘those’ nights. I fell asleep too early and I was wide awake at 11 – the best thing for me to do when that happens is get out of bed, grab my Kindle and head for the living room and my chair. Shawl myself with the most delicious throw I found… [Read More]

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]

No Five Minute Friday party for me last night but I did dream about Kate Motaung and Kristin Hill Taylor — and we were actually discussing FMF – does that count? We were talking about bringing something back and Kristin and I looked at Kate and at the same exact time we said, “Return.” But,… [Read More]
