Tuesday at The Center

A Woman Named Harriet Harriet is a woman who believes in the mysterious power of God’s hand at work in her life. She told me yesterday she became a Christian Scientist the hard way – at one time totally confident in the science of medicine. She was in possession of a logical, practical mind, totally...

Two Hat Tuesday

I made myself sit at the computer and work on "Harm's Way." Decided to take the name all the way to Harm, did another universal search/replace. Tidied up parts of the back story on the homesteading. BTW, the Wickipedia info on the homesteading acts is interesting, especially if you're a history... Sign in to see full entry.

Funny thing, it's Monday but that doesn't cheer me up...

Old joke: There I was, sitting on the curb, chin in my hand, feeling all alone and blue, when this guy stops and says, "Cheer up. Things could be worse." So I cheered up. And sure enough Things got worse. Daylight time starts on Sunday. We're gonna see 50 degrees tomorrow - the snow's gonna melt,... Sign in to see full entry.

Cleaned out a drawer

Apparently Fang was right that time when he asked me "Don't you ever throw anything away?" I do, of course, but there are some things you hang onto because they just might come in handy some day. Or you may find a way to incorporate them into some attempt at art. I opened the little 10" wide drawer... Sign in to see full entry.

Comin' Home

My baby girl (who turns 48 in a few days) has had a busy time of it. June 2014 she graduated from law school, in July (or was it August?) she took and passed the bar. Just about that same time they signed a contract to have a house built on their lot in the town of Safety Harbor. Between supervising... Sign in to see full entry.

Peg o' My Heart...

The Write Your Own Story group assembled - except for Shirley who lives in a town 15 miles away - in spite of the snow that fell overnight and continued until "class" time. It was a typical session - a little conversation, a half-hour write, and then sharing. Gloria had driven in from out in the... Sign in to see full entry.

Sometimes it's funny

Ma nature got me up early, before 5. I tried, but I knew I wasn't gonna go back to sleep. Finally about 5:30, after turning on the news & weather, I gave up. The news was glum: dusting of snow overnight, more to follow today, and the deep freeze from the Arctic is on it's way again - we'll have near... Sign in to see full entry.

Tuesday - Meet Your Heroes Day

Last week The Center was closed because of weather and nasty road conditions. I'm pretty sure lots of doctor appointments had to be cancelled by our bus riders, re-sched for this week instead. Schools were closed, except for St. B's, whose students soldiered on, right on schedule. Well, for one... Sign in to see full entry.

Simon Says...

When I was a kid - little pitchers have big ears - Mom and my aunts used to talk about their growing up years - and there was an uncle who'd been close to their mother. They called him Uncle Harm. I may have met him, I have seen pictures - tall, lanky, in heavy work boots and coveralls, or a dark... Sign in to see full entry.

Since some of you asked - about the helpful neighbor

A. Yes, he's cute. Tall, athletic build, nice grin. 2. He's about the same age as my grandsons. And last but not least, I'm not looking to get my groove back, even if he were looking for an old lady with several shades of gray... We had a new dose of winter overnight - rain, freezing rain, sleet,... Sign in to see full entry.
