To ‘discuss’ Santa… fa la la la la la la la!
Just kidding.
Though I am thinking that it’s time for a revised and updated treatise on the jolly old elf. It’s been on my mind, but I’ll save that for later.
It’s getting chilly here in good ol’ Tennessee. The yard is covered in leaves – and [...]

Apparently I took the summer off.
It was not an intended vacation… and several times I came and stared at the screen thinking of things to write – but alas, nothing came out. There are tons of pictures – but none of them got posted. Lots of silly, crafty, happy & sad things happened (like summer [...]

Two weekends ago we went to the Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Conyers, GA.
It was very quiet, I’ll just let my pictures tell the story…
I think we’re officially a farm…

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies.
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you.
Be honest and sincere anyway.
What you spend years creating, others could [...]

Sometimes the irony just makes me roll with laughter…
Peace. Be still.
I spent yesterday listening to my exit letter cd (hurry up and get your copy, there are only about 1800 left in the shed!)… it’s darn fine. I write good stuff. I should get back to work on that front.
Oh yeah, Happy Girl Scout [...]

So quickly the year has passed and it’s already time for another “Heather with ashes on her forehead” picture.
Every year at Lent I try really hard to think of what I should fast from. Traditionally, folks do meat… or some other foodie thing they should consume less of. Since I’m already a vegetarian, and started [...]

I found this picture on my camera…
Lady, I swear… I have not done anything bad yet this morning!
Can I have a cookie?

The boy couldn’t pull himself together yesterday.
His father happened to be home from work to witness the lack of focus.
After several hours of discussion that boiled down to the fact that: I don’t have [...]

I just spent about an hour re-reading old posts from a long forgotten blog. I’d gone looking for some long-lost poem I’d written for jme… I wanted to find it and re-gift it to him for Valentines Day.
Reading the stories of my life over the past 5 years was rather cathartic. Loads of drama. A [...]
