Happy Second Day of Fall, Ya’ll!
Oops! Yesterday, September 23rd, was the official start of the Fall season! How could I miss it? It’s my favorite season. I’m already craving pumpkin spice coffee, harvest smells and big smiles that come from saying “good-bye” to those 100+ temperatures we have weathered this summer. I just read that next week’s highs will be…
Can’t You Feel It? The Feeling is Everywhere!
Those are some of the words to David Foster’s theme song of the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Alberta. We were there and we felt it from our vantage point at the Opening and Closing Ceremonies where our daughter was a soloist and member of the Coca Cola World Chorus. Indeed we were inspired in…
She’s Got Her Fall On
For a couple of weeks, I’ve walked by a neighbor’s door (seen here) that already had her Fall décor up. It jolted me because my mind wasn’t on Fall yet since we still have hot weather here. But then I remembered shopping at Hobby Lobby and their Fall décor was out and people were buying.…
Thanksgiving & Christmas – Together Hand in Hand
In big box stores, it’s been “beginning to look a lot like Christmas” for months now. They have touted us with their holiday wares since before Spring ended. On social media, I’ve seen many of my friends skipping right over Thanksgiving and their home is decked out in Christmas glory! A Washington State friend displayed…
🎃The TREAT of October 31st, 1922🎃
This sweet little lady is my dear mother-in-law, Lydia (Winick) Wuerch, who God presented to the world 99 years ago today. Though she was born on the day attributed to Halloween, she was always the TREAT, not the trick. I talk a lot about her because her life changed my life since I was 12…
It’s Time to Flip the Script
A couple of days ago I blogged about this wonderful new season of Fall making its debut. Gratitude commenced with great expectations. Despite the pandemic and political unrest, we still live in a land where life is good. We take many things for granted. The air conditioning stayed on, and we awoke to a comfortable…
Welcome to Fall, Ya’ll
Hooray! My favorite season begins today – the time when the heat waves subside and everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature has been saving up all year for the grand finale! Here’s to celebrating this first day of Fall with a heart full of gratitude. It was as though God was announcing…
Welcome, Fall! You Made It! Whoo-hoo!
September 22nd was the first day of fall. I let it slip up on me and pass me by. Maybe it did for you, too! Fall evokes so many sensual pleasures – the yummy pumpkin spice coffee and aromas that abound from aromatics and cooking. More than the sensual pleasures, what I love most about…
It’s Fall — My Favorite Season of the Year
It rained incessantly all day here in Frisco on Saturday. That beautiful drenching outside made for a glorious indoor day of wearing comfy clothes, thoroughly giving my home a good top-to-bottom cleaning, and then rewarding myself at the end of the day with a sweet Hallmark movie, popcorn, and a chocolate shake. Aw — the…
Candy Corn, Peanuts, Pumpkin Spice Coffee and Gratitude
Can you feel it? Whether we’re pulling out our sweaters or still running our air conditioner at full blast, autumn is undeniably here. Hobby Lobby and Michael’s have had their shelves stocked with Fall decorations for months, and now shoppers are setting the Fall atmosphere in their homes with those scarecrows, pumpkins, and décor’. Fall…
