hand to heaven
They. Them. Someone.
“They should say something.” “It’s not my place, it’s up to them to handle.” “Someone should do something.” Isn’t it funny how often we find ourselves muttering these words or something similar. Maybe we are outraged by the behavior of our elected officials. Maybe we are frustrated by the direction of our schools. Perhaps we are worried that …
I Live You
I may be the world’s worst texter. Just ask my daughter. The only thing worse than the mistakes I make typing are the ones I make dictating. I’ve said some pretty funny things to people because I thought dictating a message was a better option than typing one. Just for the record, for me, it’s not. There is one …

Heirloom Faith
I love the Christmas season. I love the decorations, the lights, gift giving, and spending time with friends and family. And the cookies are an added bonus. I may have a little problem with Christmas trees. Well, perhaps it’s a significant problem. You see, I love Christmas trees of all sizes and shapes. I have …
True Colors
It’s here! Autumn is in full bloom, and I am in my happy place. The porch is adorned with corn stalks and mums, and I even bought pumpkin spice creamer. The temperatures are cooler, lending themselves to family time around the fire pit. The tell-tale sign of autumn is the brilliant change of leaves from …
