One of my fondest memories of growing up, going to our family’s camp along the Allegheny River in Western Pennsylvania, is the quiet time I got to spend with my Grandpa. We used to go on walks through the woods, jump over little streams (sometimes I missed because my legs were short), watch quietly forContinue reading “Ripples”

The Magnifying Glass
Going to my Grandma and Grandpa’s house on the weekends was something I treasured as a child. They only lived a couple of miles away, but their property was comprised of hills, lots of grass, a fishpond in the backyard fed by a natural spring of cool water, a rock garden tended to by myContinue reading “The Magnifying Glass”
Way Beyond the Blue
Living life way beyond the blue, out of the ordinary, above the chaos, with deep abiding joy and peace.

Everyone wasContinue reading “Feeling Alive!”

For what? For things to return to ‘normal’. This brings to mind happenings of over 2000Continue reading “Saturday, the ‘In Between’ Time”
First Hand
I decided to try my hand at blogging, now that there is time during the day to write a few things on my mind. We are, I’m not sure how many, weeks into the Covid-19 pandemic. What a frightening time it is, numbers climbing in the news of those sick, and those who have died.Continue reading “First Hand”
