I Want to be a Lite-Brite and Break Darkness
The Lite-Brite toy came out in the 60s and is still considered one of the top 100 greatest toys ever. For memories’ sake I bought my daughter another one a couple of years ago. A Lite-Brite consists of a light box with a blank sheet of black paper placed on the panel over the light.…
Birthdays Really Matter
I’m heading back home today after several days of celebrating my son’s birthday with his entire family. How precious for me to be able to be there for all the festivities and moments of sheer awesomeness. And, what a joy for me to be able to hang with the older kids because our sleeping arrangements…
Are You Afraid of the Dark?
Typically, I’m not, because usually there’s a little light of some kind around that helps us see a path we’re on. I’ll admit, though, while at my kids’ home in Austin and I was staying at the guest house for a while….late at night when I walked between the two houses, I did get an…

A girl needs something to do while…

Day 38 – Photo Inspiration — This was a random photo that inspired me a few days ago,. I tweaked it a little and made it my own as I thought about how the “darkness” was taking over way too many of my friends’ lives. A couple of days ago, I read where a friend’s…
Embrace the Place
I was going to be driving to Texas by 6 am. But last night I thought I should check the air in my tires. When I did, I saw a big nail in the last one. Now, I’ll be going to the tire store at 8 am (when it opens) to have them change the…
