The attorney tells the accused, "I have some good news and some bad news." "What's the bad news?" asks the accused. "The bad news is, your blood is all over the crime scene, and the DNA tests prove you did it." "What's the good news?" "Your cholesterol is 130.” Some days are just flat out … Continue reading Let the sparks fly!
Some days it is just plain painful to watch the news. So I don't. I'm not sticking my head in the sand, I still keep current with world events, but my soul does not need to be fed evil. Last week I replied to a fellow blogger that I have named my acts of kindness … Continue reading Offsets
If you see someone laughing out loud in the greeting card aisle at the store, it is probably me. I could easily spend hours looking for funny cards to encourage someone. Yes, I am that person. The one who has a stash of cards handy for whatever may come up. I also have a box … Continue reading Better to give
Across a good deal of the United States we are experiencing record high temperatures. At my house we have an outdoor thermometer that has a digital readout inside. When I ask my husband how hot it is, he replies, “Hotter than Africa!” So my brain made a connection when a friend of mine recently told … Continue reading Hotter than Africa

The weather here in the Colorado Rockies is glorious. Not too hot during the days, and cool in the evenings. Perfect for camping! I'll bet you didn't know this, but I am a hard core camper. I pack up snacks, my water bottle, set my laptop to a YouTube video that has a crackling campfire … Continue reading Camping fairy tale
I was thinking of making the title of this post, “Clouds of Doom” like the picture with this post, but thought better of it. Or as humor columnist Dave Barry would say, “But that would make a great name for a rock band.” Miserable people like others to be unhappy. They just don't understand someone … Continue reading Misery loves company
We all have them. Those stories you love hearing over and over again. One of the ladies in the nursery at my church said one little girl wants to hear about Daniel in the lion's den every Sunday. As it is being read, the little girl is whispering the same words to the story. She … Continue reading Do the right thing
I know, I know. No one likes listening to a whiner, but we got hit with another snowstorm where I live and the wind was blowing too, which pushed the snow into all the beautiful perimeter paths we shoveled along the fence to keep the dogs in the yard. This winter I feel like a … Continue reading Perimeter security
I remember when I was in my late teens and early twenties. Hey, don't laugh! I can remember that far back! I knew absolutely everything, and felt like I was bulletproof. Nothing was going to come against me or harm me. Then I grew up when reality set in. I've been thinking a lot about … Continue reading Bulletproof
