Living on St Croix
Heaven…
[Due to something that happened over the weekend, I am interrupting my series on Old Women for this week. It will most likely continue next week! 🙂 ] I am going to make an admission that could make me sound heathenish: I believe that I am going to heaven. The trip is an eventuality I … Continue reading
Timing is everything
It used to be that you weren’t supposed to wear white in the winter. The rule was you could safely wear those pretty white pumps or that white dress only at Easter or after, but only before Labor Day. I’m not sure who made up that rule or why, but it provided safety for those … Continue reading
Happy New Year 2017
I love Christmas Eve. All the anticipation of the season is concentrated on this day. It is a quiet, soft day no matter where I am or what the weather is. The anticipation of presents and fun and dinner and all the wonderful pieces of Christmas tradition come together to create an air of waiting … Continue reading
Pleased as Punch
I’m happy to report that my ability to type the elusive letter that falls between an O and a Q has been restored thanks to a quick trip to the local Office Max. The new keyboard is successfully installed and functioning. Yay! Losing the ability to use my P key last week was a tiny … Continue reading
Yikes!! I am so frustrated!
When I awoke this morning, my goal was to blog, it is Monday, you know. I had in my mind to start a series that I have been thinking about for quite some time. Then, technology derailed me. First, I couldn’t log in to my website. Instant stress. I thought maybe there was an issue … Continue reading
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
