Cold, but Sunny

First Monday in January was a good day. It was sunny, but cold. Ice was on my car windows when I went out to go to work this morning and it was very chilly when I came home this evening. I had to run my little heater to keep my feet warm in my office.… Continue reading Cold, but Sunny

Sunday Sundaes

Returned home from my writers retreat today. Had to do a few things at home to get caught up before going to work. Took a short nap and got ready to watch Once Upon A Time and Downton Abby. Both were great. Can't wait for next week.

Play Date Saturday

Today's post is coming live from the Cabin at the Crossing location where my writing group is having their annual retreat. So the play date is this. Getting together with 8 writers and writing.

Random Thoughts Friday

Sleeping on the top floor in a log cabin can be scary when the wind starts blowing and the house starts shaking. A totally new experience for me. Wasn't sure if it was just being in the mountains or what, but I questioned did I need to go to the main level and stay. Hermit… Continue reading Random Thoughts Friday

Not a Rainy Monday

I believe this is the first Monday in December (ironically the last one too) that it hasn't rained. The sun was even shining for a few hours today. Now it is getting a little gray again, but it doesn't look like rain at all. I had to take my car in for service today. Routine… Continue reading Not a Rainy Monday

Sunday Sundaes

The last Sunday in 2012. We had two wonderful messages at church today preparing us for the new year. Our associate and youth pastors did an excellent job as this was also the 5th Sunday of the month.   Are you prepared for the new year? Will you be taking God with you as we… Continue reading Sunday Sundaes

Found some great buys on clearance items and finally found new bathroom rugs in my colors. I've been looking for… Continue reading Play Date Saturday
