Two friends and I met for lunch this morning to enjoy some time together and catch up on life events. As best as we can remember, we last saw each other in May or maybe even April. We had a lot to talk about over lunch and lingered well after Frappuccino's were finished. During our … Continue reading What Have You Been Doing?

Sunday Brunch, Relaxed
I had this Sunday brunch inspiration while driving home from early church. Remember to find time to relax and enjoy life; it’s too short to miss out on moments of peace and happiness!
Please Wait. I’m Defragmenting.
Frantic at 40 quilt by Robyn Lieberman, Tyler Texas Have you ever felt like this? I think that's how I feel right now, but not frantic. I'm fragmented. After an unproductive day yesterday by 5 p.m. I was totally frustrated and started thinking about what I had done all day. Well, let's see. I went … Continue reading Please Wait. I’m Defragmenting.
The Blue Bicycle
What is it about blue bicycles? This pillow immediately caught my eye and, of course, it came home with me to spend the summer in this chair.

Almost Gone
One more day and August 2020 will be finished and we will turn the calendar to September. As we all know, nothing will change and we will move through another month just as we always have done. However, this year it seems that August has been a blur, a very fast blur. I haven't felt … Continue reading Almost Gone
The Time Drainer
Being informed is a virtue. It helps us make better decisions and encourages us to take action. Getting hooked on an endless scroll of media inputs is not the same as being informed.
