love – Let's Have Another Piece of Pie

The End of Another Year

I’m sitting here, typing, and listening to Surfing USA by the Beach Boys, in the middle of my country. You just can’t take the beach out of a Jersey Shore Girl. While contemplating the beginning of another year I must reflect on the last year. There. Done. Now on with the new. We had ourContinue reading “The End of Another Year”

Reflections

I’ve had a bit of alone time the past couple of weeks. That means more time to hear my thoughts and my heart. Those times when you reflect on things. The future is one I like to reflect on. Dreams. Goals. The thoughts bounce up and down and back and forth. I had a strangeContinue reading “Reflections”

Love is the Key

This season of my life has been hard. I lost my best pup the beginning of November and then came to the close of semester as I wrapped up caring for our youngest grand daughter. I was grieving. Big time. I had cared for our granddaughters for the most of the last five years ofContinue reading “Love is the Key”

Another Cup Please…….

I just poured myself another cup of coffee. Join me as I sip and ponder, music playing in the background, thoughts circling and swirling in the lyrics with a sense of assurance and breathing in and out the colors of hope. We have lived in what we call The Burg for just a hair overContinue reading “Another Cup Please…….”

I Now Know My Name

I came across this video the other day and have now listened to this girl about five times. I weep as soon as she opens her mouth. Some of you will totally understand why I cry and why it touches me. Some will not. And that is OK if you fall into the “not” category.Continue reading “I Now Know My Name”

Another Mothers Day

Here we are celebrating another Mothers Day. I love being a mom and a grandmom. I love my kids with all my heart. But this Mothers Day I want to take another twist. I want to talk about my Daughters-in-Law. First there is Dawn. She married our oldest son. Dawn is wonderful. Creative and funnyContinue reading “Another Mothers Day”

Happy St. Paddy’s Day

A good portion of my ancestors came over to the USA several years ago. I never met them but am certainly a product of them. I love Celtic music and scenery and accents and much more. For fun, a few years ago, I posted my “made-up” Irish blessings. They are more like “My Blessings” andContinue reading “Happy St. Paddy’s Day”

And The Beat Goes On……….(my personal musical)

Fear. Sadly, I know it all too well. I have come a long way, but I am always trying to be aware of the unwelcome fear creeping in. I have learned that most of the fears I entertain are irrational, for me. Fear of worms, caterpillars and Dentist visits. Fear of rejection is a bit bigger in my mind. FearContinue reading “And The Beat Goes On……….(my personal musical)”

Sit Down For A Cuppa

Welcome New Year – 2016. Welcome Friends. Come and sit with me and let me pour you a cup of coffee. I didn’t make a double chocolate chai pie with real whipped cream for you today……perhaps next time. Today, I have lovely slices of homemade bread. Warm. With butter and/or some local Amish Blackberry Jam.Continue reading “Sit Down For A Cuppa”
