Some days it’s almost like you can smell the goodness of God. There is a freshness to life and all that is going on, like the sweet smell of honeysuckle wafting in through the screen door. I love days like that. I love those moments where a stillness…

A Long Flight Home

May 25, 2011Mary JoLeave a Comment on A Long Flight Home

Yesterday was the longest Tuesday I’ve ever had. It started in Delhi and ended in Mount Juliet and was a full 35 hours long. I know there are only 24 hours in a day but the 10 and a half hour time difference came into play and to be honest…I’m still…

Super Moon

March 24, 2011Mary Jo3 Comments on Super Moon

February 7, 2011Mary Jo3 Comments on Gray Matters

Some days it’s more difficult than others to brighten up the house. I tend to gravitate toward cool colors when I decorate and I’m happy with that until mornings like this one. Mornings like this one make me want to stop and be still in front of a roar…
