JUST A FEW NOTES ABOUT MY TRIP TO WEATHERFORD

In my “Shuffle” Blog, I wrote that I drove to my daughter’s house last Wednesday; I didn’t write that I came back Sunday or why I was there. I didn’t just go to visit, I actually had a very specific purpose. But, the whole trip was a sensory overload of sorts. Spending over four days out of my... Sign in to see full entry.

CONVERSATION

I love inspirational quotes….here’s one I hadn’t seen before and I love the way it frames the value of being listened to. I’ve always known there is something very special about those people who have the gift of truly listening. Think about it, think back on the people you’ve known…..have there been...

JUST LISTENING TO SOME MUSIC, BURNING MY CHILI...

I love music....love, love, love it. Right now, I'm watching a repeat of a concert from Radio City that Joe Bonamassa did last January. The Husband and I saw him once in Chicago....OMG! He is such an incredible guitarist.....he was a child prodigy, opened for B.B King when he was 12! I remember... Sign in to see full entry.

JEWEL AND FRIENDS WHO DON'T LISTEN TO HER

I like some of just about every genre of music…..but, if I absolutely had to pick just one, and only one to take with me to listen to for the rest of my life, I think it would be folk music. Of course, most music of any genre is an offshoot of folk music…..and, folk music is found in every culture.... Sign in to see full entry.

FIRST WINTER WITH PATIO PLANTS

I bought a large wrought iron butterfly plant stand today With a place in the middle for a nice big pot to be seated I envision a lot of ivy crowded in the pot and spilling out Until it wraps around the butterfly and gives her green wings; They’re really large wings with lots of room to stretch out....

SUN THROUGH THE WINDOWS...

The off-centered whop, whop of the ceiling fan never talks to me Like the one in my bedroom does….that one, with its constancy Ensnares my obsessiveness with some word I hear in the whirring; It’s not the same word, and if I try not to do it…for sure I will! Or sometimes it’s a phrase….whatever…over... Sign in to see full entry.

HYPNOTIZED...AND BUSTED

I live in Central Texas. In fact, I learned last Saturday night that I live just a couple of miles from the precise geological center of Texas. If you Google “Texas Hill Country” you can see all kinds of photos of what it looks like around here, and Wiki will give you the geological facts about what... Sign in to see full entry.

FALL RECIPE...PUMPKIN, CINNAMON, BUTTER AND BATTER

A friend of a friend is a great cook and my friend has long raved about these pumpkin cinnamon rolls which were recently featured in the local newspaper. My friend sent me a link to the article and I am going to bake them this week so I did a copy and paste to send to my daughter and thought I'd... Sign in to see full entry.

MYSTERY BOOK

I am typing some newspaper clippings I found today into my blog to have a record of them in case they get lost……they are family records. I found this little piece of a newspaper clipping, from The Texas Christian Advocate in an old book. The small clipping doesn’t show the date…it is my... Sign in to see full entry.

REUNION...PT. 3

(As a reminder, BFF is my good friend from high school, MT is her husband, and BJ was her high school boyfriend) So, BFF and I finally had a good download about the Reunion. It’s so interesting how complex human relationships are. We talked for two hours; I was out on the patio, she had put MT to... Sign in to see full entry.
