Six Months till Christmas

Six Months till Christmas

If it’s six months till Christmas that can only mean one thing.  Long layaway at KMart? Nope.  Catalog shopping at Montgomery Ward? Nope.  It can only mean that it’s my birthday!

Memorial Day 2016

My evening photo reminded me of the 1914 war song “Keep the Fires Burning ‘Til the Boys Come Home.”  I certainly understand a little more of the sentiment behind the song now that Davis is 18 he had to sign up for Selective Service.  I can’t even imagine sending a child off to war yet people do […]

Mother’s Day

If my peonies are blooming, then it must be Mother’s Day! I had a fun day. Hope you did, too. I usually cut these peonies for a Mother’s Day centerpiece but this time we ate by the pool and we were surrounded by flowers so I didn’t need to. I celebrated these two blessings who […]
