Random Thoughts

Walking in the park today I saw a Daddy playing soccer with his two young sons...more Dads should do that. I have a friend in my life that always seems to go out of her way to be kind to me...she is a blessing. My neighbors dogs bark at me while I am in my own yard...really, it's my yard?! The stray cat that hangs out at our home won't let me pet him, but whenever I talk to him he scratches his head against the chair and pretends it's me … [Read more...]

Two Knuckleheads, Wynonna Judd and an Epic Reunion

Yesterday I was sitting in an airport, had been for hours – thanks to two passengers who turned our plane around just before take off due to their inability to follow flight attendant instructions and turn off their cell phones.  They also dished out an unhealthy dose of obnoxious behavior.

Children Away Parents Play

Hubby and I are having lots n lots of fun and enjoying ourselves muchly! We have also been quite productive, doing little projects here and there! Our meals have been simple and pleasant. Our conversations have been thought provoking and playful. Our prayers and gratefulness more often expressed. The days seem … [Read more...]

Mom To Mom In Israel

Have you ever seen another mom in a crowd of people and just for a MOMent you make a connection? You know…one of those, “I get it, I’ve been there, I feel you mom, you can do it!” kind of connections. Just days ago I had a surreal experience of just such a connection. I refer to it as surreal because it happened halfway around the world, during my trip to Israel and the other mom was an ultra-Orthodox Jewish woman…at least that’s what her … [Read more...]
