A couple of nights ago I had the coolest dream. It awoke the writer within me in its lucidity.

Day 18/30 – I think I will forever be in awe of the WordPress community. Once again we gathered together for a WordCamp in Rochester. I think something was learned by everyone, and the day was incredible. There is just nothing like the WordPress community. For November (the month in which we celebrate Thanksgiving in […]

No Comments on Sunsets at my Favorite Beach

Day 17/30 – Just wow, right? How can one not be thankful for this?! For November (the month in which we celebrate Thanksgiving in the US), I’m trying to blog about something for which I’m thankful for each day of the month.

Inspirational Friends

Day 10/30 – I have many friends who are inspirational, but today I’m going to highlight three. One doesn’t have a website and just recently got her first smart phone. She has seven children, a job playing the piano for school musical offerings and is in charge of keeping the nursery at church staffed. Her […]

Beth and Bob Visit Us
My brother Bob and Beth proposed an afternoon visit, and we were delighted. It had been months since we last saw them. That morning I looked at the trees in our neighborhood, knowing they enjoy autumn leaves in the mountains. I hoped they would have a lovely drive from Winston Salem and would see something […]
England 40 Years Ago — October 23, 1980
If all the mailing agencies involved are efficient, you will be getting this earlier than usual. Thought I’d write today (Thursday) before we take our trip this weekend when I’m sure to be in a non-letter writing mood. John $ stays busy, even during nap time. He went to bed with his sweater on, and […]
Stump Fire and Returning Nathaniel
Son John $pencer has a little camping auger he has been experimenting with. He drilled holes in a stump and showed grandsons David and Nathaniel how to set a tiny fire in it. The young men were in the dark, although they saw the light. On our way to take Nathaniel back to his dorm, […]
Grandsons
We spent half a day with grandson David before driving to pick up grandson Nathaniel in the evening. How blessed we are to have these young men in our lives! David, John, and I drove to Carver’s Apple Orchard. We enjoyed the mostly golden leaves on the mountainsides. The restaurant on the premises was full! […]
Autumn Items
We are beginning to have colorful trees near our home, but I haven’t found an arresting view yet. I stopped to take a photo of a burning bush we pass on our walk. This is the first year I noticed it has red berries. The leaves are getting redder and should be more dramatic in […]
Trains, Sandwich Tongue, and Hangup in the Creek
Grandson David took a few vacation days to go to the train club with John. He knows people there and was pleased to spend time with two men named Bob from the Long Island club, shown here with their steam engines and John between them. I liked David’s photo of a few of the trains […]
Goodbye, Sadie
Sadie, Rose’s dog, has gone to live with Rose in Tennessee. Oh! How quiet the house is! We have no barky alert when someone comes down the street. There is no auto-vacuum in the kitchen or under the dining table. We miss our walking partner on a leash. Sadie’s favorite place in the bedroom was […]
England 40 Years Ago — October 19, 1980
The most fun part of our week was having Aunt Val and Uncle Haakon staying with us. They flew into Heathrow from Oslo and caught a bus that brought them right into Reigate. I checked the bus stop every 15 minutes, and we met with no trouble. [That must have been the truth, because I […]
Sadie Loves Water
Son John $pencer talked about Sadie’s liking water. When he and Rose would hike near streams and waterfalls, Sadie was always eager to get wet. We found that she liked the run-off from a neighbor’s French drain. I would not have wanted to splash through that cold water barefooted. It was amusing to watch the […]
Hunting with Sadie
Perhaps Sadie saw it first, but I became aware of a cricket hopping across the bedroom carpet. I like crickets. I like singing crickets, but not at night in my bedroom. I picked up a small paper cup I keep on the computer desk for catching unwanted critters. As I moved toward the cricket, Sadie […]
