The Thing Is NOT The Thing
Day 35 of Photo Inspirations — The Thing is NOT The Thing! I saw this photo of an iceberg and it reminded me of the Alaskan Cruise we took several years ago when our ship docked in Juneau and we took the tour to the Mendenhall Glacier. This amazing glacier is 12 miles long, a…
If He Cares for the Sparrows, How Much More Does He Care for Us?
Day 21 of Photo Inspirations. My sweet Alexia, and her passion for animals (big and small) just keeps being more and more evident. She found this little bird all alone and it appeared to be wounded. She picked him up and tenderly held him. She brought him to me to see her newfound friend. She…
Date Nut Loaf — What Are Your Constants?
Day 20 — Photo Inspiration: Mom’s (aka Granny) Date Nut Loaf. I stopped in to see Mom (my Mother-in-Law) yesterday. She had just finished pouring her famous Date Nut Loaf batter into the pan and the tin can. Yes, tin cans make for the perfect individual size loaf pan. And, for ease of removal of…
Clean House and Clean Heart
Day 18 of Photo Inspirations — This is my squeaky clean house! I’m pretty good at keeping a clean and tidy home, but I’m still grateful that once a month I have a sweet gal that comes and gives my home a thorough cleaning — top to bottom — blinds, baseboards, windows — you know…
Seize the Moment

He Blesses the Work of Our Hands
Day 7 of 365 Photo Inspirations. It’s quite effortless to be inspired in my children’s homes — where there are grandchildren filled with life, wonder and excitement. In addition to those little live-wires, the precious symbols, photos and memorabilia all over their homes gives me many opportunities to capture and seize precious moments, and even…
Royalty Begets Royalty
Day 5 of 365, and my grandson and granddaughter were my inspiration today. As any typical morning with two very strong willed siblings, this morning was one where it took tremendous letting go of Payton’s own desires for his sister’s. First, he gave her the middle cinnamon roll of the pan — the one that…
They Gave….Then Bowed Down and Worshipped Him
“On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him.” The Magi (Wise Men) worshipped — and brought very costly gifts to the newborn King. The gifts were gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Not such practical gifts, but most definitely…valuable gifts. A gold brick in today’s…
