My first memories of our local library are filled with amazement. I remember wanting to touch EVERY book. I followed behind my mom with my hand running over the books on the shelves. When she would pause to look at a book, I’d see how high I could reach. The smell of the books, the …
The new year rang in quietly for my husband and me this time. Home with Indy and no one else. Bill and I played Yahtzee and drank sparkling grape juice. It was different but nice. 2024 promises to be a year of decision for me. My prayers are filled with questions about what God would …
It doesn’t look like Southern Indiana will receive any snow this year for Christmas. I know it doesn’t take snow to make a wonderful holiday yet we always hope for some by the big day. What does make a great day? Winning a $100! You could definitely buys some gifts or treat yourself as you’re …
This time of the year remains my favorite for many reasons. Cooler temperatures after a hot summer, better food, family events that don’t require sunscreen, and fuzzy socks are all things that make me smile! While it means more work for me to prepare for upcoming gatherings, I love fall and the promise of the …
Summer hasn’t been bad here in Southern Indiana. We’ve had some hot days, but nothing like what other parts of the country has experienced. It’s been a good summer in many ways.

Like so many people I know, I resist change. This year I wanted to challenge myself to “Do the New” in my life. I plan to step into full-time writing mode and have resigned from my job. It was a difficult decision. I didn’t leave because I was unhappy or dissatisfied but because of the …
I don’t know about dancing in the rain but I do know that I’ve been walking my dog in the rain lately. It’s been a cold wet season in March so my hope is that April will bring more sunshine not more rain. If you do have to be out and about, you’ll feel like …
The winter blues had caught up with me, so I’m excited for springtime and the beautiful wildflowers that bloom all around our house. Purple, white, yellow, and blue ones cover parts of the ground throughout our woods behind our house. Absolutely beautiful! Some so tiny you have to bend down to get a good look …
Even though it doesn’t feel like spring here in Southern Indiana yet, I know it’s on the way. Signs of spring are everywhere, just not the temperature! Today is cloudy with a chance of rain later while the temperature is only supposed to be in the high 50’s. So, I’ll wear my warm knee high …
