Its Dega Baby (part one with an added question)
Wow. I am still tired. I am so very sore. There is still a roar of engines vibrating in my head. But oh what a weekend. My son took me to the races in Talladega, Alabama. This was not a spur of the moment, get up let’s go event. With me being the main, but not only, caregiver for my parents, there are many logistics to something like this happening. One of my son’s most disliked words was…

Saving Grace
Freshly back from a weekend away, too tired to create so here is one from 2011.
Saving grace, beautiful grace
Some can tell you the exact date, time, age they were when their life was changed. I can’t do that, but I do remember the day I was Baptized. It was in the Baptist church at the bottom of the hill. We had been attending there for a while, it was close to home, small church, friendly. I…

Until the end of the age
even until the end of the age
This is copied from 2014, no edits or changes.
I was sitting here thinking. I will admit that usually that statement comes with a warning, but not this time. I was thinking about today and what it means. The following are my thoughts and beliefs, the way I feel on the topic.Easter Sunday, also known as Resurrection Sunday. A very special and holy day for…

Not Alone...Ever
The following was written in 2020. Usually when I use one of these I change, edit, update before sharing. This one I am leaving as is. I did however add a paragraph at the end.
“I just finished watching the video of our church service. It really hit home. Not just because of the reminders of how God is our refuge and strength through what we are dealing with today, but a couple other…

Serious Lack of Respect
Will I be able to write a calm post over this? Well, let me try. I’ll either get it right, or I will rant..we’ll see. (Links are at the bottom)
People, not all of you, but some, how, why and when did you become so clueless? Let’s add a few more, reckless, irresponsible, ignorant? I would go on, but I think you get the point. What I am going on about? At what point, did we start thinking it was…

Take Stock
good morning all-dawn begins pushing away night, a time of rest for most, a time of fear for others. As we go about this day may we remember our blessings, may we seek out those in need of our caring, concern, compassion and may we act on their need. Fire without fuel will not burn, a sailboat without wind will not sail, seeds without water will not grow- may we be the tool needed to make a…

Time
When time runs out..
When its morning and you should be preparing for work, school, appointments of various type, only you’re moving slow, distracted by other things that seem more inviting than yet another responsibility. You were delayed by a myriad of other things in life..and you must rush out the door because time ran out.

When you barely get a bill paid on time because, you had to wait…

Interrupted...Again
I’m determined, Lord willing, to get my yard cleaned. Yesterday I was back out there. Knowing the temperature was going to be warm, I actually wore shorts which ended up being a problem. After all the morning routine was finished, I prepared to get started.
I walked across the yard, grabbed the rake then reconsidered. My carport needed to be cleaned and organized. As I backed my car out my son…

This Race
Those who know me well (enough), know that I am a NASCAR fan. Thanks in part to my dad and my son. I sat here yesterday watching the race in Texas. I scared my dog Bella a couple of times due to my shouting at the television. While I have several drivers I pull for, it was good to see Chase Elliot win after such a long drought. His win though was only after a few restarts and during one, a bit…

The First Morning Cup, a fiction write for blogophilia
Brenin turned away from us and as he took his first step he shrank down quickly to his normal size. As he moved away, we followed carefully. Without a word said between us we knew we did not want to make a misstep and cause injury to anyone. Pushing what looked amazingly like Spanish Moss aside we stepped into a world we could not have imagined in our wildest fantasies. Standing awestruck we all…

Memories
One of the sad things about scrolling through social media memories is seeing those who have passed away. Their voice silenced. Their candle dimmed, with only the memories keeping it lit. Their words, their actions, the wonders of their life that they shared, echoing through the valley of remembrance. Seeing the comments that were made to what they gave us still reminds and touches the heart. I…

Visibility
Maybe I say too much. The posts I make too wordy in a world of shorter attention spans. In a world where everyone is in a hurry, too many places to be for too many reasons. No time for all I have to say. Because maybe, in trying to make a point, I ramble on, saying too much. Even my son in conversation will tell me to get to the point. In a nice way. But some times I feel, invisible. Unseen.…

Easy as ABC
Dad had an appointment today with an audiologist. He had his third hearing test, which was probably the better of the three tests.
I was not surprised to see lights on down at their place when I got up this morning just before seven. I was even less surprised to find out that he had gotten up at four. He really wants those hearing aids. We left the house an hour early because I had no idea what…

Seeking Answers and finding Maturity
I’m sitting here scrolling through social media and listening to the rain falling outside. The same rain as yesterday is falling now. A slow, light, soaking rain. The world around me has exploded in its green dressing, making such a difference from the winter months. The outside cats were fed an hour ago. Momo (our part time cat) showed up after not being around for a couple of days. She allows…

Yard Work to Life Work
And here we are, enjoying the gift of another day. All the usual has been done. I’m working on my third cup of coffee and considering the day. I’m a little disappointed in that the weather prognosticators are calling for the possibility and probability of rain for the next few days. Not because I don’t like rain, but because I’m trying to get my yard cleared of all those leaves that are covering…

Red Flags
I’ve been sitting here scrolling through the memories that social media share with me. Everything else has been taken care of so… coffee and memories. One that stung was a brief post about the brother we lost a few years back to Leukemia. my brother met me at the pond today when I was walking. We ended up walking together and then standing around talking for a long time. I really enjoyed today…

A Blessed Gift
Its so very quiet. Even with the radio playing, Bella stretched out nearby, grunting on occasion, the inside terrible trio of cats making their presence known, it is quiet. It is not a bad thing. No calls from mom, other than her every morning call, means that dad is doing okay. At least for the moment. I scrounged up some usable wood from the yard to build a low fire in the wood stove. I wanted…
