Milk, it's whats for dinner. No wait, that's beef. Milk, the other white meat. Wrong again, that's pork. Delicious, nutritious, tastes like chicken. Nope, still not right. What's the slogan for milk? Got milk? The benefits of milk are as follows: It makes for strong bones, is a good source of vitamins and minerals, helps … Continue reading Got milk?
You'd better sit down. When I tell you how I spent my weekend, you'll be asking me, “Where do I sign up?” Driving home from work, the window on the driver's side of the car started to go down, but would not go back up. The motor for its power just made gurgling noises. So … Continue reading Resolve
I love taking long hot baths. When my husband was building the house at our ranch, we decided we were going to install the deepest, longest tub we could find. We did just that. We also put insulation all around the underside of said tub, so the water would remain hot longer. Now I can … Continue reading Being Pruney
There I was. Up against the swollen banks of the Amazon river. I could see the hungry piranhas churning up the water. I could also see the amber eyes of the jaguar as it slowly approached me. I saw only one way out. Grab the vine just in front of me and swing to safety. … Continue reading Epic Tales

While pondering beautiful … Continue reading Baywatch

It is a critical business designation which states that “the bearer of this letter is an essential worker in the food and agricultural sector and in exempt from any restrictions placed on work or travel during the COVID-19 … Continue reading Essential Worker Status
I have a lovely, creative friend who is a bit of a wordsmith. The way she plays with words astounds and amazes me, and always bring a smile to my face. We were discussing a situation last week and she emailed me her new, made up word: acquicceptance. At that moment it was like God … Continue reading Acquicceptance
Welcome to the one post that will change the way you look at your life forever! (I hope!) I recently finished a women's Bible study, with some beautiful sisters, entitled Exploring the Mystery Within. One of our first homework assignment was to make a list of five things we could declare about who we are. … Continue reading What’s in a name?
The other day I was remembering when I moved into a dorm room on campus when I was 18. At first it was so exciting, I had untold freedom to do what I wanted, and make my own decisions. But after a while, it got a little overwhelming, and I missed being at home. I … Continue reading Homesick
