First – I have missed you. Really, really missed you. I thought I would only miss writing a couple of posts while on our trip to New York City, but weather in Dallas prevented us from returning. Honestly, getting stuck in New York City is not horrible, but not getting to write Lanabird was. Now […]
Wa-hoo! The paperwhites are on the dining room table. They form a little forest for my attempt at a woodland inspired table. When I first began thinking about this table, I wanted it to be natural and woodsy – like a hunting lodge. Do not laugh. It is okay to dream, but I can also […]
Eighteen days ago I encouraged you to plant paperwhites so you could have blooms for Christmas. The directions said the bulbs would produce showy white fragrant blooms in about 6 weeks (A few other sites mention 4 to 6 weeks.) We had planted paperwhites a few years back, and as we remembered, that timing was correct. […]
Woke up early this morning with an old hymn running through my head – Make Me a Blessing. It would not leave – honestly! Then I felt blessed by remembering a hymn that I had not thought of in many many years. It was my morning prayer. Out in the highways and byways of life, […]

Dallas Life reaches out to homeless men, women and children with food, clothing, shelter, education and long-term […]
Now is the time for all to plant Paperwhites (Narcissus). If you want the beautiful white showy blooms in time for the Christmas season, plant these easy to grow bulbs NOW. In four to six weeks, you should have an indoor Christmas garden with blooms that will provide a heady fragrance throughout your home. Paperwhites […]
Just sharing. While walking the aisle at Kroger, I noticed a small canister on a top shelf that read: “Private Selection Buttermilk Oatmeal Pancake Mix.” “Private Selection” translated = Kroger’s top-of-the-line store brand. Oatmeal pancakes did sound good to me, but…. I wasn’t sure, so I did not buy. I did not even take the […]
Sweet Mother of Pearl. It is the first of November, and the beginning orchestra students in the Pearce High School attendance area have already given a concert. Let it be known – they did a mighty fine job. So glad Hot Rod is playing the cello – he got to sit on the front row, […]
Number One Son has a new blog called The Internet Snapshot – A Picture of Today’s Internet. I know he is my son, but I am impressed. Basically, each day he shares interesting stories from the internet. He creates a collage of images from the featured stories. The collages are amazing. This was a recent […]
“Tuck that tummy. Tuck that tummy. Breathe. Breathe.” If Laurie (AKA Ida) says that once during each hour of water aerobics she must say it a bazillion times. Laurie is the cute and funny instructor for our class. She is the one who keeps us moving. Laurie is also amazing in that she makes connections […]
