“A Second Chance” Nothing in life is guaranteed; certainly not second chances. But every now and then, we are surprised. The best gift that I have received is a second chance to find love. I pray that all of those who lost their homes and loved ones in Oklahoma on Monday will find the strength and courage to believe in second chances I think my inclination to photograph this as a silhouette may have to do with the…
“Home IS Where My Heart Is” Just as I finished taking this photo yesterday, the news of the terrible devastation in Oklahoma started pouring in. It felt wrong to post a picture of my home when so many people had lost not only their homes but their children and loved ones. My prayers are with all those whose lives have been torn apart by Brother Wind. May God give them strength, courage, love and a sense of community as they…
“Tiger In My Tank” I like my coffee black – no sugar, no cream, no nothing!! The darker and bolder it is, the better!

The blur and unfocused parts represent both the…
“Be Still and Know” There is no doubt that we have a fairly big collection of bad habits, but we also have a few good ones. Taking some time out of every day to be still and quiet is one of the good ones.
“DYAC” As one who is not the best at sending text messages, I love reading unfortunate autocorrected text messages. There are websites that are full of screen dumps of these hilarious messages. It takes a lot to make me laugh until I cry. Many of these will do it.
“O” Joy We got back into to town Sunday afternoon in time to stop by the house, unload the car from our weekend away and then head to Resounding Harmony rehearsal. So, our Mother’s Day was more of an observation than a celebration. The girls stayed at the house and animal sat while we were gone. That is a huge gift – no boarding; that makes us and the animals very happy. They also cleaned out and organized both the…
