So I’ll go ahead and admit that when “Karen” calls is a post that is slightly “tongue and cheek” mixed with a little bit of venting. While I do think the name Karen is getting a bad rap, for purposes of this post, “Karen” is defined as an entitled, nosy, vocal, middle aged woman whoContinue reading “WHEN “KAREN” CALLS”

FAREWELL TO A CHAIR
Farewell to a chair actually begins four years ago when we purchased our cabin in the woods. We inherited with it a green fabric recliner. It was the “green elephant” in the family room. You could tell that it was well used and of course, became my husband’s favorite chair. The dogs loved it tooContinue reading “FAREWELL TO A CHAIR”
BEING FLEXIBLE WITH CHANGE
The past two weeks seem like a blur. Being flexible with change has been the key to maintaining my sanity. I typically leave a fair amount of “cushion” in my schedule, but sometimes things change and you find yourself full of activity. Planning If you’ve followed me for a while, then you know that IContinue reading “BEING FLEXIBLE WITH CHANGE”
ALL MY GALS IN SAVANNAH
What do you do when school is out for the week? The answer is: a day trip to Savannah! This will be the first time to have all my gals in Savannah and I am super excited.

FEBRUARY – THE SHORT AND SWEET MONTH
As I write this post, I can hardly believe that February has arrived. I fondly, or perhaps not so fondly, call it the short and sweet month. Generally speaking, I like it when people get right to the point, however, February seems to get there all to quickly! What Happened to January When the calendarContinue reading “FEBRUARY – THE SHORT AND SWEET MONTH”
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED
I am doing a quick Monday post because I accepted Mama Lava’s Back Porch Photo Challenge. The goal is to find a valentine “heart shape” from God in nature. Imagine my excitement when I found one while walking my dog at our cabin. Here it is … I put some text on top of itContinue reading “CHALLENGE ACCEPTED”
DON’T GO HOME TO WHAT’S FAMILIAR
January is coming to an end and so are many people’s New Year’s goals. Now is the time to “stick with it” and don’t go home to what’s familiar! Quitting would be easy, but nothing worth having comes easily. I came across the phrase “don’t go home to what’s familiar” this week in a BibleContinue reading “DON’T GO HOME TO WHAT’S FAMILIAR”
GOAL SUCCESS – WHAT’S IN MY TOOLBOX?
It’s the third week in January and my goals for 2022 are set. I’ve already been busy pursuing my goals with the help of a few tools in my toolbox. My question to you, is what’s in your toolbox? You see, I am very well aware of one of my flaws – procrastination! Because ofContinue reading “GOAL SUCCESS – WHAT’S IN MY TOOLBOX?”
LEGACY LIVING
The last book that I completed in 2021 was a devotional named The Maxwell Daily Reader, John C Maxwell, 2007, Thomas Nelson, Inc. On it’s final page was the daily devotion entitled “The Law of Legacy“. Basically the law states that we all leave a legacy, either good or bad. The choice is ours. ThisContinue reading “LEGACY LIVING”
CHRISTMAS 2021 – TIME TO REFLECT
Well Christmas 2021 has come and gone and now it’s time to reflect. As I put away all the gifts and Christmas decor, I also take time to think about the past year. While I don’t make “resolutions”, I do set goals for myself each year. And what’s the point of goal setting if youContinue reading “CHRISTMAS 2021 – TIME TO REFLECT”
