Ummmmmm……..

OK. Road trip is now behind me. It was awesome and our dear dog, Hayley Mills Sasquatch Bryson had a fabulous time and was extremely well behaved for a 10 month old dog. Fall colours on the eastern part of US were incredible and the Atlantic Ocean is still there even though I am not.Continue reading “Ummmmmm……..”

Road Trip

OK, this week we pack a vehicle, luggage, map and a LARGE puppy to head to a coastal location to visit family and other such busy-ness. I’m excited! A road trip! YES! I hate driving. I hate public restrooms. I hate eating an abundance of fast food with it dripping down the front of me.Continue reading “Road Trip”

Here in the Waiting Room

Waiting is very hard for me. Is it easy for anyone? Well, I’m sure there are some of you that wait better than I do and perhaps even enjoy the waiting. God bless you. But this is about me – I want to embrace the waiting. I want to get every single drop of theContinue reading “Here in the Waiting Room”

Autumn and Birthdays

I have always loved Autumn – when in August you get that first smell of autumn coming – it’s in the air, the breeze, the leaves and the grass. It’s just everywhere. That fresh smell of crisp dying earthy things. Ahhhh, sweet aroma. I know it’s still hot in August when you first sense theContinue reading “Autumn and Birthdays”

I’m Writing a Book

I know, I know. Some of you after reading my blog may think, why would SHE write a book. LOL Because I’m suppose to. I even wrote chapter 1 today. So, those of you who hang out with Jesus please say a prayer for me because I do believe it is Him who (whom?) toldContinue reading “I’m Writing a Book”

What’s in a name? that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet

It seems like the simplicity of the “Happy Days” (aka the 50’s) is gone. We called our Grandmother, Grandma. Grandfather, Grandpa. My kids called their Grandmother, Grandma and Grandfather, Grandpa. My first 3 grandchildren call me Uma and their Grandfather, Pop-Pop. The other side of the family is Nana and Grampy. Second son and hisContinue reading “What’s in a name? that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet”

Blogging

When I just typed in the title of this blog, I mistakingly left out the letter l…..Bogging appeared. Maybe that wasn’t a mistake. It’s been awhile since I “blogged” or “bogged” – that word – bog – can mean whatever the reader interprets it to be. Me, I take it as bogged down – pressedContinue reading “Blogging”

Faeries and Pies

OK. I’m back after a few days. There was a storm in our area on Sunday morning. Hail, wind, RAIN, trees down and no power to many people. We were fortunate because no trees landed in our yard (next door was worse) and our power was our for only 17 hours while some got itContinue reading “Faeries and Pies”

Why Pie?

OK – The reason behind me doing this blog. I was greatly taken with the movie “Julie and Julia”. The idea that someone would set out to cook 1 Julia Child meal a day for a year was fascinating and then blog about it. Awesome idea! I thought of making a pie a week –Continue reading “Why Pie?”

OK – I say it a lot!

For my first “blog” entry – well, it’s a disaster! I have this compulsion in me that insists I must have the blog page all pretty and nice BEFORE I can make an entry. Well, that’s insane for me. Because I cannot figure out how to set things up and have called my son 2xContinue reading “OK – I say it a lot!”
