Here I am at the end of my self-imposed sabbatical and feeling quite renewed and ready to re-enter society with all its demands and delights. As the calendar turns to February, I am excited to see what God has planned and if any of my plans match His. We have had more beautiful snowstorms with…

Good morning from just over the hilltop in Norwood where I’m waiting for the ladies to arrive for a luncheon.

Morning by morning new mercies I see; All I have needed Thy hand hath provided – Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me!” In preparation for Thanksgiving weekend, I was thinking about this song and the reason we even celebrate Thanksgiving. In my research I realized on…
Hello to my family and friends from the hilltop in Norwood. I think I have decided to reschedule my weekly date with myself to Tuesdays. It appears that my weekend life is getting full of many wonderful events and activities and thus I am usually late to my appointment. Sometimes by several days. So, here…
Hello from the cool, sunny hilltop in Norwood. It’s time to warm the kitchen with soups, muffins, and cookies. It’s time to put away the gardens and lawn furniture. And it’s time to gather with family and friends. Please don’t follow me in the area of identifying fruits, vegetables, or flowers. My ability to identify…
