Breaker. Breaker. 1-9. Got Your Ears On??
“Breaker – Breaker 1-9” “Got a copy?” “How do you read me?” “Got your ears on?” That’s CB (Citizens Band – short distance radio) talk. Oh, yes, I was a CB-er in the 70’s and 80’s. My handle (name) was “Honeybee”! I’d say to a trucker on my CB, “You’ve got that one Honeybee. How’s…
RE-Membering is Part of the Journey
Re-membering: To recall to the mind; think of again; to retain in the memory; to remind; to recollect. It’s just past the two-month mark since my Honey graduated to heaven. We continually remember him. We talk about him, the “ways he did things”, his little quirks and his many abilities. Someone will tell us about…
No Pain…..No Gain!!
Having been a “Weight Watcher” for 24 years, I checked in this week for my monthly weigh-in. Never have I seen such a long line at Weight Watchers. Some were holding their new applications to get started, and others were like me, there for our accountability to a pact we made with ourselves – striving…

It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!!
My daughter and I were in the mall a couple of weeks ago, and since by now we’ve heard every rendition possible of “I’ll Have a Blue Christmas Without You!”, we started to sing along with it, when we both caught the words we were singing…..and we said to each other, almost, simultaneously…. “Oh….no we…

The Secret Place — el lugar secreto
It was just after the first of 2010 when our son told us that he wanted us to join his family for Thanksgiving 2010 at their place in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Ron and I made it a part of our goals for this year. But then, as the year progressed, and my Honey’s health…
Running With The Wind
Upon leaving the beautiful, inspiring and encouraging time with precious friends and family at the Homegoing Celebration for my Honey on Friday, I knew it was time to go home and turn the page for a new chapter in my life. With our children and grandchildren at my side for a few more days, we…
Celebration Time — In His Presence is Fullness of Joy
My Honey went “home” at 6:57 p.m. on November 16, 2010. Now it was the day after, and it was already time to begin the preparations for his home going celebration. “Celebration” definition — to observe (a day or event) with ceremonies of respect, festivity, or rejoicing. Yes, that’s what we’d do — celebrate his…
