Vacation & Books

If anyone has wondered why I haven’t posted for a while, I’ve been on vacation. Kevin and I took a trip just north of Chicago to visit his birth family. We hadn’t been able to visit in three years.

Sleeping in with Sofie

A crash and subsequent rumblings startled me out of a deep sleep about 5:30 yesterday morning. My husband, already up and awaiting his first cup of coffee, stood in the kitchen, unaware of the commotion behind our bedroom walls. I related what I had heard, and he immediately went into action.

Waiting

While time ticks by, we wait to see our new grandbaby, now four months old. We wait to visit our children, wait to go on vacation. We wait for many things in life, don’t we? Especially now. But what do we do in the meantime? I hope you are taking advantage of the time to … Continue reading Waiting

Poems & Pictures

Shutterfly photo books are a personal favorite. We must have at least a dozen 8 x 8 books of trips, gardens, and family memories. Recently, I finished this coffee table project, Pictures and Poems which includes forty original inspirational poems and twice as many photos.
