Enthusiastic About Outdoors
I went for a hike with a friend today and enjoyed being outdoors in the beauty of nature. At one point we were up pretty high and overlooked a large portion of the foothills. It has been very dry here, but also very warm and many of the trees and bushes have already started to […]
The Little Apple Tree
Tonight I am sharing a beautiful post from my daughter in law’s sister that really touched my heart: This little apple tree started from a single seed. One I found inside the last apple my Mom had in her fridge after she passed. At the time, I didn’t know if anything would come from planting […]
Feeding Time
Yesterday after work, a friend and I went to the zoo. It’s school break, so there were many families with children there too. But we saw many animals up and about. Since it was later, near feeding time, there was a lot of activity. My friend mentioned how amazing God is, creating all the different […]
Starting Phase 1
My older son and his family are beginning phase 1 of their grand adventure tomorrow. They have been wanting to move further east and my son got a job in the area they were looking at. Since my granddaughter is starting school break, this was a good time for them to all go out and […]
Interconnected

Million Miles Away
Tonight I watched the movie, “A Million Miles Away”. It was the true story of a man from Mexico who grew up traveling from place to place and working on farms with his family. His dream was to be an astronaut. His family made sacrifices so he could go to school and he earned a […]
Living Vicariously
A friend of mine has been travelling recently. We are in a group text with several other friends. He went to Africa before Christmas and shared pictures from there, including wildlife he saw on safari, which was very exciting. Now he is in Guatemala for a friend’s wedding and is again keeping us in the […]
Adventures in Time and Space
My dad loved science fiction and had many old books. Today I was looking at one of them; a 1954 paperback, “Adventures in Time and Space”. I was also listening to a classical radio station. As I was looking through the book, a selection of Holst, The Planets came on. I always think of my […]
