A soul that walks on water leaves no footprints, but will make waves."
15 years ago today, I nodded my head in a quick answer to say I would indeed like to go somewhere after church with Kris Kelso. Our first date was a little soup and salad at Pargos on a Wednesday night, and I’m so glad he asked.
It was 7 months la…
Yesterday morning I went out and got some pictures of a few things growing behind the house. Freshly planted forsythia bush and two blueberry bushes that went in the ground on Saturday mainly. I traveled down the hill (steep, wet grass and flip flops…
Jekyll Island, Georgia is where I was taken for my birthday. It was a phenomenal trip. We truly relaxed and allowed ourselves to enjoy the beauty around us. We walked, rode, drove, sat still and enjoyed a true quiet we haven’t heard in a while. We l…

This past weekend we drove to Michigan for a wedding.
A wedding that just a scant 7 months ago, we thought might not happen.
My brother, who wandered for a few years, who dabbled, who threw out, who turned away, who scoffed and even argued at time…
I can’t tell you how many times I wish I could take one back. A comment that flew from my mouth had nothing to do with how I felt, it was just “something to say.”
I would venture to guess that 6 out of 10 rude comments from strangers and distant acq…
