All things considered I love the accessibility of social media. I love being able to have the world at my fingertips. I absolutely love all of my electronic devices that allow me to post, chat, peruse, read and catch up with people in my life. But sometimes.....sometimes......it works against me. I am on Facebook and have been for quite a few years. I originally fought it when my sister, who was in graduate school at the time, tried to get me to join so that I could be a part of her … [Read more...]

An Attitude of Gratitude
By · 20 Comments
To be ungrateful is sinful. It is a failure to repay a moral debt. There are degrees of ungratefulness. The first degree is to neglect to return a favor. The second degree is to take no notice of the favor. The lowest degree in ingratitude is to fail even to admit to one's self that a favor has been given. We are all familiar with ungrateful people--people who accept favors as if they were theirs by right, people who never thank anyone for favors, and people who never return a favor. … [Read more...]

Coffee For All!!!
By · 23 Comments
Most of you know that I am a lover of tea. But I also love my coffee. Funny how that habit never formed until I was in my 40's....but form it did and I am always up for the occasional cup.

Probably not the best idea to have a white duvet on the bed but I do and so far it has survived with only a couple little tan spots appearing on it over time. I am the most careful of coffee drinkers, I … [Read more...]

Four Years in the Making
By · 35 Comments
We have good intentions, my husband and I. We often think that we have things all figured out when in reality we have nothing figured out at all. Four years ago found us moving back to our Iowa home from North Queensland, Australia after Chris spent about a year there overseeing the operations of 7 sugar mills. We had a container coming back and while we had acquired some furniture when we were there we decided to splurge on an outdoor table set to bring back to the US. We had a … [Read more...]
