An Esperanza Sunday

May 3, 2020 ~ Beth ~ 6 Comments

  From time to time I have what I call "church in the park" on Sunday morning.  I load up one of the dogs, water bottles, and we head to San Pedro Springs Park. On Sunday morning there are only a few people out and about, much like I am, walking their dog and getting a … Continue reading An Esperanza Sunday

The 10 year re-start

March 25, 2020 ~ Beth ~ 8 Comments

  As I started to write this post I realized that exactly ten years ago today, March 25, 2010, I created the Small Simple Things of Life blog on BlogSpot. Today I had the intention of writing a post on the practice of restarting something that's been abandoned for a period of time, mainly this … Continue reading The 10 year re-start

Survival and/or Sensibility

March 14, 2020 ~ Beth ~ 6 Comments

This afternoon I was thinking about the craziness going on in our grocery stores right now when I remembered the book of World War II rationing coupons my sister and I found in some of my Mother's papers when we were cleaning out her house. I'm sure my Mother had found this memento in my … Continue reading Survival and/or Sensibility

Time to finish up 2019

December 18, 2019 ~ Beth ~ 4 Comments

On December 1st a local faith based ministry posted a beautiful starlight picture on Face Book with the caption, "December - the month of joy, happiness and to finish what you started." Well, that's a different approach I thought as I read it, but then again it was good reasoning. We think of December as … Continue reading Time to finish up 2019

Sustainable Energy: Then & Now

May 13, 2018May 13, 2018 ~ Beth ~ Leave a comment

A mid-December trip took me on roads I had never traveled before, much to my delight. I had traveled through Lubbock before, but never had the opportunity to spend any significant time there.  My nephew's graduation from Texas Tech University gave me that opportunity as well as new sights to see along a new route. … Continue reading Sustainable Energy: Then & Now

The New Road

December 31, 2017December 31, 2017 ~ Beth ~ Leave a comment

This is good advice for the New Year, but it truth I think it needs to be practiced more often.  I never hesitate to suddenly turn off the road and head to someplace I've never been; practice it often and you will see that adventure is the most refreshing thing you can do for your … Continue reading The New Road

The end and the beginning

December 1, 2017December 1, 2017 ~ Beth ~ Leave a comment

So the month of November ends; likewise tomorrow the new month begins. I've always thought of November as my favorite month of the year.  November is when we gather for Thanksgiving meals and my thoughts always turn to Thankgsivings past, spent with loved ones now gone from this life. November is when we start preparing … Continue reading The end and the beginning

Experiencing the seasons

October 19, 2017 ~ Beth ~ 1 Comment

We're past the middle of October and fall is in full swing; the wait is over.   Pumpkins on the porch, football teams are winning and loosing, and we've had that first "cool" front that brings a deep blue sky and cooler days. I always enjoy watching the seasons change and find myself anticipating each one. … Continue reading Experiencing the seasons

The cat and the pit

September 2, 2017 ~ Beth ~ Leave a comment

Lacy is making the most of the large pile of dirt from The Pit. I know that it is giving her, unlike me, a great deal of free entertainment.

The Pit – and beyond

August 24, 2017 ~ Beth ~ 2 Comments

The saga of The Pit continues.  While this may bore some I feel compelled to share this little adventure simply because I like stories and I like sharing them through words. And, if you've ever been through this you will appreciate this little tale.  Through it all I find a great sense of calm and some humor, … Continue reading The Pit – and beyond
