The Best Day
This is a little longer than the typical quote I post for Sunday Citar, but I was driving in my van yesterday and stopped to listen to the words to this Taylor Swift song for the first time and found myself crying as I drove down the interstate. The Best Day (click on song title…
Six Words for My Subscribers
Yoohoo, Subscribers! Miss you. Come back! My transition to WordPress has been smooth, for the most part. I love WordPress, and I am happy I made the change. I knew there was a chance I’d lose feedburner readers. I was just sad that I lost 1000 of you. That’s a lot of people. One person…
Santa Really IS Watching…..a Give Me Your Best Shot
My Christmas present came in the mail yesterday. I am itching to test it a little more, but today was filled with Christmas shopping–my first trip out, believe it or not. What came in the mail, you ask? The Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Macro lens. Amazing stuff. I happened on an incredible deal on a used…

Burke Nothing cures insomnia like the realization that it’s time to get up. ~Author Unknown Sleep is perverse as human nature, Sleep is perverse as legislature…. So people who go to bed to sleep Must count French premiers or sheep, And…
The Weather Outside is Frightful (Soup’s On!)
With the first Winter storm dumping several inches of snow on our house yesterday, I am ready to start making soup for dinner. Steamy hot soup is what’s on the menu for this week (in addition to two other soul-warming meals). I wouldn’t mind adding a few of our Christmas goodies to the kitchen mix,…
