Living in the Peace Zone
I get amused when I hear folks talking about the “good old days” when we could leave our doors unlocked, where the worst thing we did in schools was chew gum, where kids played outside using their imaginations, and gas was 23 cents a gallon (or less). But were the good old days — really…
It’s the 365th day of 2017. I made it!!! 365 days of posting a positive word for my FB friends and family. After all, there’s enough negativity in social media with politics (Phew – what a year that’s been!), the weather, the economy, the relationships or disappointments many vent about. Once upon a time, I…
To my Facebook friends and family I want to say how thankful I am that God gave me you for going on 10 years now. You have brought so much joy to me as I’ve come to know you more because of your posts and photos that gave me the opportunity to share your good…
My cousin and I were going on a “girls night out”, but I couldn’t find my cell phone. I went to pick her up (she lives just a few blocks from me) and brought her back to my house so she could call me to see where my phone was at. (I forgot about the…
I’m a Southern girl — born and raised by a Southern girl. My expression of “Southern girl” isn’t exclusive to Southern girls. I’m quite sure what I learned from my Mama, is still impressive and important for all of us girls — Southern or not. Manners matter and chivalry and respect shouldn’t be dead. I…
When my sweet Mom was alive, I made it a habit to check on her everyday. I’d call her or go by to see her, and if I couldn’t find her, I’d check with her neighbors. Mom was a gad-about in her Senior Living apartment complex — in and out of neigbors’ apartments. She was…
Today, it’s a 3-D, 4-D, sound, lighting, visual and special effects world. Back in “my day”, the big deal in my Sunday School classes were the “no” tech flannel-board characters. Walking into Sunday School and seeing the flannel board all set up, meant it was going to be a great morning. Jesus was always smiling…
Day 183 of Photo Inspirations – Thankful for the Good New Days The good ole’ days had its charm, but I’m so thankful for these good new days. I know I’m dating myself, but I was there when we used manual typewriters and carbon paper for copies. We put the paper between the paper table…
Day 171 of Photos Inspirations — To Nana From Lexi Returning home after a week away, I went to my desk and found this envelope with big letters: QUOTES — OPEN AFTER Nationals — To Nana From Lexi. She had been here for a couple of days before heading to Nationals in MN. She loves…
Day 33 of Photo Inspirations I had a Facebook “Friend Request” from one of my grandson’s friends. Before I ever accept FB Friend Requests, I always go to their page to see if they’re legit and reputable, and I make sure that we have some mutual friends. What I noticed, first, that this is the…
