Searching for the Green Flash
If you’ve seen the Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, then you are aware that in order to save Jack Sparrow, the crew sets out to see the green flash – which, according to them meant a soul was coming back to this world from the dead. Well, I know that Jesus saved us … Continue reading
Pot Holes
It’s quite funny, really, that one of the great similarities between Wyoming and St. Croix is pot holes. In Wyoming, the drastic changes in temperature – where it can be close to zero as a low temp and just a few hours later the thermometer can be reading in the 60s – contribute to the … Continue reading
Now that we are here…
I am a whiner. Often. I am aware of this and I try not to be. However, small whines often leak out of me unopposed. Now that I have confessed this huge character flaw of mine, I can tell you that for this month I have tried to pray only my thanks and praise. I … Continue reading
Traveling
I’m posting this on Sunday Morning instead of Monday for one important reason: Tomorrow morning, at literally Oh dark thirty, we are heading to the airport to go HOME. We leave out of Dulles at 6 am, go to Miami, then fly to St. Croix. YAY! By 5 o’clock on Monday, Good Lord willing, we … Continue reading
Karl is Retiring today!
Today is a great day! Today my husband retires – we are selling our business, a business he has given heart and hard work to for 14 years. He signs the papers this afternoon and hands over his thriving center to a protege, confident that he has taught her best practices and wishing her all … Continue reading

Some may choose to dress up to resemble an athlete who has achieved great fame and accolades for his or her physical abilities. Some … Continue reading
God loves infinite variety
I didn’t blog of Monday because I was in Moab, Utah visiting my friend Mary Jane. (I will blog more about her soon – what an amazing lady!) If you haven’t been to Moab, you need to make plans now. What a stunning place. On Sunday, two friends and I got up early and made … Continue reading
One goodbye of many –
A few weeks ago I wrote about my fish, Filaya. Well, yesterday I bid a fond adieu to my little finful friend. Since we are moving at the end of the month, to warm and beautiful St. Croix where I will be able to swim with amazing fish of many colors any time I want … Continue reading
Winter is coming!
Last Fall it got really cold early in the fall and all the leaves just died and fell, becoming an unceremonious pulp under the snow. It was ugly. This fall has been picture perfect. In mid-September, it got pretty chilly and I had to turn the furnace on in the evenings, but since then, it … Continue reading
Collecting People
When I was in college at Texas A & M, I befriended a young married woman named Margie. I have lost contact with her, we never were BFFs, but even though we were only friends for a little while, she made an impression on me. She was deeply and genuinely kind. I remember spending an … Continue reading
