SATURDAY, MAY 27, 2017 A day that I would design. Dogs had me up very early, 5:30 a.m.  That meant I had time to sit in the quiet, sipping coffee and reading.  A perfect start. I went outside around 7:30 a.m. and finally came back inside at 5 p.m. I was dead tired.  The kind … Continue reading #21329 Saturday is a work day. →

FRIDAY, MAY 26, 2017 A full day. Morning run and the rabbits were out playing.         Queen Anne's Lace blooming.             A really nice time at lunch. Sitting outside in the perfect weather with colleagues who are generally 25+ years younger but they invite the crazy old … Continue reading #21,328 →

THURSDAY, MAY 25, 2017 Just a long busy day.  I'm leaning into the weekend! My sister and nieces are at the world Odyssey of the Minds event.  Facebook has never served us better.  Our family is getting play by play pictures and can watch a lot of their participation through FB Live.  But my favorite … Continue reading #21,327 →

WEDNESDAY, MAY 24, 2017 The Day is filled with little pockets of happiness when I take the time to notice. The thistle in the cow fields are popping with color.  They are treacherous looking with their massive spikes and thorns, but the color leaves me speechless! Out for a quick run this morning and this … Continue reading #21,326 Pockets of Happiness →

21325 - that's the number of days I've been on this planet.  I've stared at that number all day.  How many moments can I recall from all those days?  I remember the "big" events: births, deaths, marriages, graduations. The ordinary days, the days that make up a life, those are the days I struggle to … Continue reading #21325 →

This is my rush hour traffic!  Isn't it great! I know. I know.  I've heard all the small town, rural jokes. And yes, it is a legitimately understood tardy at the schools when you tell them you got behind a tractor. I live less than a mile from the center of my sweet hometown. I am … Continue reading 01/17/17 #IloveWestminsterSC →

Vacations for me as a child typically involved long roads trips.  We lived in North Carolina and routinely drove to visit our Alabama kin.  Before the onset of carseats, child safety laws, and mandatory seatbelts, we could wallow all over the car.  In an effort to maximize space and avoid the incessant teasing and provocations from my brother, … Continue reading 01/05/16 – #IloveWestminsterSC →

I am grateful for my friends at the Post Office.  It occurred to me today that they are the magic behind Christmas.  I mean think about it.  For .47 cents, we can send some love through a Christmas card.  For less than $20, I was able to get all of Anne's Christmas to Nashville.  That … Continue reading 12/23/2016 #iloveWestminsterSC because… →

Starting something that has been on my mind for some time… Deserves a little explanation. I moved to Westminster in August 1983 as a young bride.  This sweet small town became my forever home.  This community embraced me and it was here that I learned to be an adult. I’ve experienced all the milestones of … Continue reading #IloveWestminsterSC →

I forgot that ducks are a lot of trouble.  Like each pregnancy, I remembered the good things and basically forgot that it was actually a lot of misery for me. When our girls were young, we adopted ducks and geese.  The geese were aggressive and territorial and eventually I found them another home.  But ducks, … Continue reading Boomerang Ducks →
