Nicknames. I've been thinking about nicknames lately. Anybody else do that? Just ponder nicknames? What they are? How they've come about? Anybody? Anybody? My husband gives out lots of nicknames. To people, to animals, sometimes to objects (this is where I practice the art of mind reading when he asks where said object is [...]

Oh My! We’ve Grown…
Oh My! We've Grown... No. I don't mean that I've grown from all the sweets and cocktails that I had while at the beach. Actually... paired with all the lounging around that I did, I might have. I'm still playing catch up on emails...so thanks for bearing with my slow responses! But the truth is... [...]
Friday Faves – Edition 20
Friday. Edition 20. Today is our last full day at the beach. Friday, you've come too soon. Some of my faves this week are things that I've brought from home to make my beach time a little simpler and safer. Sunscreen. SPF and I have a love/hate relationship when it comes to my face. [...]
Quiet Reflections from the Beach
Quiet Reflections From The Beach. Carolina Beach, North Carolina. Today is Day 4 of our vacation at the beach. We are in Carolina Beach, North Carolina Sand dunes...sea oats...and salt marshes. The beach is such a recharging place for my soul. The ocean waves crashing. The pelicans dipping low onto the horizon, skimming the surface, [...]

Friday Faves – Edition 14
Friday. I'm so thankful to see Friday this week. This week has had many rough moments from the loss of our dog on Monday to the stealing of my lawnmower on Tuesday to somebody wrecking into my yard and ending up with the rear of the truck in my creek (and not the shallow part... [...]
Pulling back the veil
Pulling Back the Veil. Mysteries. Last week the hubby and I watched the movie, The Girl on the Train. I had not read the book prior to watching it. After watching it, I planned to discuss an aspect of it. I just didn't know aptly it might apply on the day that I would sit down to [...]
Friday Faves- Edition 13
Friday. Edition 13. Friday seems to come around faster than I can blink my eyes! Between editing some photos, running errands, spring purging of household stuff, and life in general... I somehow ended up at Friday (and with my house showing the chaos of my not tending to it!). Recipes. One of my frantic [...]
Nobody Said Parenting Teenagers Would Be Easy
Parenting Teenagers. Nobody said parenting teenagers would be easy. Nope! I've never heard it said. I had thoughts for this post that began to take shape during my shower. Anyone else have this stream of thoughts when they're in the shower? Or when you are awakened at 2 in the morning by thoughts? Or is [...]
Atop the World
How's the view from atop the world? How's the view when everything is going your way? A smile on your face? A kind word on your lips? A light shining for all to see? How's the view when you're all alone? How's the view when life is caving in? Do you still radiate the light [...]
