I made cinnamon rolls this morning. Tried a new recipe. *GASP* Yes, you heard that right. I tried a new cinnamon roll recipe. And guess what…. I like it better than my old one. Really. This one...
I thought it would just be to see the house being built almost next door. Instead we walked a mile. The sunshine was golden, the lake blue and calm, the air fresh and cool. And she was happy and rela...
Dear Loyal Blog Readers, (and those of you who may not be so very loyal) I am alive. I am well. I am not depressed or unappreciative. And…I will catch up. I’ve made mental posts every day...
I got three kisses and a snuggley hug from a super adorable guy today. What’s not to love!!!
Grandma and I had an enjoyable trip home and a wonderful evening with family. And Tera and Mom made my bed and vacuumed my room and turned on my AC. It is soooo good to be home!!!!
Okay, so the title is a bit of a blanket statement. What I’m writing about isn’t my favorite thing of all time or anything like that. But I can’t think of a good title, so th...
A walkway of light stretched out across the lake…from the sun to my feet at the water’s edge. “Come.” it whispered. “Come and taste the glories inside a sunset.” I...
Today was a gorgeous day. I took a walk, worked out in the yard, cleaned the boat dock… There were literally hundreds of spider webs… and spiders… on that old wooden boat dock. You ...
Grandma’s peach tree is LOADED. As in…breaking branches kind of loaded. I had the privilege of watching Jack (the grandfather) teaching Jack (the grandson) the art of peach tree propping....
Once upon a time… I had an accident involving an ill-trained horse, two trees too close together, the hard ground, an ambulance ride, the emergency room, six weeks of “recovery time”...
My cousin and aunt are visiting right now. If they hadn’t broken down on their way here, their trip would not have been delayed and they wouldn’t have been here tonight. I am really thank...
Last weekend they had the annual licorice festival in Guthrie. I know some people really, really don’t like black licorice. I do. And my family knows it. Thank you so much for thinking of me! I...
So I got behind. Just in case you didn’t notice. Life has been a bit of a roller coaster lately. Okay…more than a bit. It’s rather stressful around here lately. And it isn’t t...
Grandma and I have been going to town almost every day lately. She wanted to go again yesterday…and I knew that I needed to find something different to do. We needed an adventure. It was a perf...
I know, I know. If you know me at all you’re thinking… “Has she lost her mind? What happened to the Sage we knew???? Appreciates spider webs??? No way.” Just because one of th...
There is a great little volunteer fire department in this area. They’ve come to help my grandparents more than once during 911 situations. Occasionally they put on fund raisers. Last Saturday w...
I went to town to hear some live music tonight – “bluegrass” music at the local coffee shop. I went because I thought it’d be nice to get out. I went because I’ve been i...
Sometimes I find myself looking at beams of liquid-golden light when expecting to face a valley of shadows. Those are appreciated moments. Much appreciated.
I took my camera out early, early this morning. Over and over the verses in Lamentations ran through my mind and spoke to my heart. It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, ...

The storm came. Shortly after I posted that last post, the winds whipped, the skies opened. Water ran off the roof in torrents. Thunder and lightening released the tension in the air and the ache in...
Watching. Waiting. Wondering. Gray. Heavy. Foreboding. Pressure. Burden. Bearing. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting… Rumbling in the distance. Whispers of what’s coming. A rain drop…or was ...
I remember when Mormor still went to Sweden regularly to visit “home”. She would bring back chocolate for us. Not just chocolate…Marabou. I remember when she took Tera and me to Swe...
If you walk around the corner of the house, you’ll see this gorgeous rose-bush on the side of the old workshop. For me, it was one of those teary-because-this-is-just-so- beautiful moments. I...
I was just thinking about how much easier it would be tonight to write a post about things I DON’T appreciate…but the fragrance of honeysuckle greeted me at the door just now and is wafti...
We left early this morning…doctor appointments, massage appointments, shopping, lunch. We came home just after noon. And the house is sparkling clean. That’s Liz. She’s great. Thoro...
Day One Hundred. One Hundred Days. 100. Part of me says, “Wow! I’ve made it to 100!” The other side….”Dude. That’s not even a third of the way there….”...
Once upon a time… Near a doorway framed in honeysuckle and red roses Did I mention roses? Red, red roses… Stood a bird bath. "Reflections in a Bird Bath" Reflective It must have...
Grandma and I have been to the nursery three times already this spring. When we went yesterday…I took my camera. The man who works there is so funny, friendly and talkative. The flowers are gor...
