This week a friend of mine brought me some fresh made raspberry jam, from berries in her own garden. She stood there as I dipped my finger in and tasted it. It was to die for! To-die-for is popular American hyperbole dates from the late 20th century and means that something is so amazing that … Continue reading To die for
Offsets
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
Better to give

Apparently it stands for World Of Tanks, and online gaming platform. My use of it is different, Waste Of Time. (Of … Continue reading Wot?!

I pack up snacks, my water bottle, set my laptop to a YouTube video that has a crackling campfire … Continue reading Camping fairy tale
Rough week
After the close call that I shared with you in my last post, it has been a rough week. God's provision saving me from an ugly outcome was beyond amazing. I had headaches, a lump on the top of my head, aches and pains in my neck and shoulders, but can report that I am … Continue reading Rough week
Close call
Have you ever had a close call, one where it happened so fast, your life did not have even have a chance to pass before your eyes? Well I did on Thursday. My husband left at 7:30 in the morning to drive over and pick up a load of feed, He was not due back … Continue reading Close call
