Here are some snaps of little bits of red, white, and blue scattered around our casa, our own personal home of the free and the brave. Sweet Man is there today (he has a gig tonight,) while the boys and I are at the great-grandparents. Coming here for the fourth has been a tradition since I moved back to Arkansas to go to college. In all the years since (too many to admit to,) we have only ... View Post

Happy Valentines Day friends! I am home in bed, sick with a nasty cold or I would give each of you a great big smooch. My only Valentines Day wish is for a gallon or two of pink grapefruit juice.

Epiphany
(paraphrased from the chapter Home By Another Way, by the book of the same name by Barbara Brown Taylor.) No they would not be going back through Jerusalem. All three of them had a dream that said steer clear of Jerusalem, as if they needed to be told. Besides, none of their old maps worked anymore. They would find a new way home.

On the 8th day of Christmas we started a new year…
Last year it took me forever (you know, almost till Febuary) to find my word for the year. Do remember what it was? Slow. Not my favorite, but definately accurate and a learning curve.
