One Year Later
Earlier this week I ordered groceries online and had them delivered to my home. It wasn’t much, just a few things I was running out of, mainly half and half. I met the delivery person outside where he’d parked his vehicle in front of the house. After handing me the parcels he said, “Let me…

Calloused
When I was a kid, the men in my family had calloused hands and Daddy had a row of callouses on the palms of each hand from continually gripping things, especially a shovel, or axe. Back then, callouses were evidence of hard work. I was grateful for the winter to wear long sleeves, but now…

The One-Eighty
Taking in my surroundings, I note a wisp of dog hair that was missed by yesterday’s vacuuming, or it’s a new one that formed overnight. The mini-blind on the window in front of me is hanging crooked. The right side is lower than the left, so I walked over and straightened it, then did a…

Good God Almighty
I don’t know that much about David Crowder, only that I’ve loved his music for as far back as I can remember. His music is as distinctive as his appearance and at first glance you probably wouldn’t tag him as a famous Christian artist. I heard this song driving home the other day with the…

I love flannel sheets in the winter, but this winter has been relatively mild which offers pros and cons. When we had our cold snap a couple of weeks ago, I took advantage of it and placed flannel sheets on my bed, but that feeling of coziness was short lived as the temperatures began to…

Our Inner Child
On social media, people are posting pictures of snow, and this stirs up some of my best childhood memories. Our house sat almost at the top a hill and the road was paved with chunky asphalt. A drainage pipe laid under each driveway installed by the city, and I remember ours had a concrete bowl…

I See Grace
A friend Marco Polo’d me and said, “I’m not gonna ask about your Christmas, because I read your blog!” Sometimes I forget that people actually read what’s poured out here, and I’m not really just talking to myself. 😂 I’m happy to be standing in a new year, but I haven’t done a very good…

Think Small
Running out of dog food, or half and half will force me out of my house to go buy more, but even the half and half can be replaced with a mixture of milk and cream, which I usually have. If it wasn’t for the dogs, I’d rarely leave home. The dogs add structure to…
