Rainbows While Traveling

We saw this on our way back from my cousin’s son’s baptism a bit ago. How is it that rainbows are so inspiring?

Snowy Christmas Mornings

This morning we woke up to this wonderland — and another couple of feet of snow expected in the next couple of days. So perfect.

A Circle in the Woods

This is an amazingly cool ice disc someone found in the woods a few hrs from where I live. Nature is so fun, unique, artistic, etc. Love it! Open the post to see it in action.

Blessing Boxes

College students shouldn’t have to think about whether or not they will have a meal during the day. But that is a scenario that many face, and most of the world isn’t aware of the struggle. In 2014, Feeding America, the USA’s largest emergency food assistance network, calculated that around 10% of its 46.5 million adult […]

Extra Coins

< ![CDATA[Euros - Image from https://www.flickr.com/photos/mtsofan/]]>

We are winding down our month of living in Portugal. As with any trip to Europe, we’re doing all we can to use up those euro coins since they are awkward to hold on to and aren’t necessary back in the United States. I was mentioning this to a friend, and she had a great […]

A slideshow: And a 54-second video if you, like me, love the sound of waves. So mesmerizing.

Last Mailbox Warming
The temperature was only three degrees warmer than the previous day, but the windbreaker and hat I wore both days were too much. I left them to warm Connie’s and Marla’s mailbox as we walked on to the creek. With warmer weather coming, this was probably the last time I would use their mailbox as […]
Rejuvenated at the Supermarket
The whole world is concentrating on COVID-19, since it has affected everyone in some way. Because it was raining at the time we usually take our 2.5-mile walk, we did our grocery shopping at the tail end of senior-time. Since our state now has rules about staying apart, our store set aside two days for […]
A New Pew
We found a new place to worship at our church. A week ago we watched a video of the service in the dining area using a laptop. This time we saw the service streamed at the usual hour, and we were using a desktop. We could hear it without straining, and even better, we could […]
COVID-19 Days
The first displacement of the virus brought grandson Nathaniel to us for a week after his university closed down. He recovered from his head cold, lowered the mirror the night before he left, and he and John got up at 3 am to get to the airport in Charlotte. His dad picked him up at […]
Home Church and Dinner by the Creek
We assembled our home church to worship Sunday morning, since our services were canceled because of the corona virus. John printed the worship outline from the church web site and stapled the pages for each of us. He had two hymnals, bought when we lived in New York, for us to share. I set up […]
COVID-19 Picnic
We are a family of somewhat happy refugees, waiting for developing news of the corona virus. John rescued grandson Nathaniel from Charlotte after his university closed. Our poor student was suffering from an awful head cold, diagnosed by a walk-in health facility. It definitely was not the dreaded virus. He didn’t do the mirror ritual […]
Viral Pan-panic
What a week of change! I last wrote about loving my bed, with no thought of preparing to die in it. We knew the COVID 19 virus was spreading, though there were no cases in our county. Suddenly all the schools closed, churches canceled services, and all restaurant dining rooms were shut. The only things […]
Easy-learning Music
Do you like classical music, but you don’t know much about it? I’d like to recommend Manuscript Notes. This is one of the best blogs I’ve ever followed. Try it here. Below is what I wrote to him today: “You may think of yourself as just an amateur enthusiast, but you are so much more […]
I Love my Bed
I have new-to-me mattress and springs on my bed. The old set, which had come from my parents’ house, had seen better days. I now have what had been in our guest room. I enjoyed the sleeping for several months until I thought about the life of my bed. It was getting unfair usage and […]
Chef Goes Back to School
Grandson Nathaniel’s week with us went by in a flash. We always enjoy being with him, and the pleasure was doubled, since grandson David lives with us. People envy us having a student chef in the house. Now when he comes to visit, he brings his knives with him. That is a distinctive mark of […]
