In Praise of a Joyful Ode
November 5, 2015
Can music make your heart soar? Can it bring you to tears or to a point that you think you may burst from experiencing the beauty of it? I recently accompanied my son to hear The Nashville Symphony perform Beethoven’s Ninth. Words can barely describe all that I heard and felt that evening. It was a … More In Praise of a Joyful Ode
Marking the Days
October 29, 2015
Those stairs. Those beautiful stairs. They were one of the main reasons we chose our house. I had seen them once or twice before as a child and was enthralled. Shortly after the for sale sign went up in front of the two-story colonial home in my parents’ neighborhood, my husband and I had an … More Marking the Days
Gathering

Gathering – to bring together or assemble from various places I love period novels, television shows or movies where the characters participate in house parties. Pride and Prejudice and Downton Abbey come to mind. Historical estates such as the Biltmore House in Asheville, North Carolina were the venue for such parties as well. I like … More Gathering

A “Beary” Unusal Day
October 8, 2015
I am writing this post from the mountains of North Carolina. Yes, I am one of those Floridians who travel north to soak in the beautiful colors of autumn. In central Florida, we have green, brown and in the spring, an explosion of color. Not much in the way of fall colors and definitely no … More A “Beary” Unusal Day
A New Season
September 24, 2015
“Is there really any time better than the cusp of fall? Hopefully the weather will take note and the sun will shine golden through the large loft windows as we promise our lives to one another”. These are the opening lines on the website my daughter and son-in-law set up for their recent wedding. My … More A New Season
I’ve Got The Monday Morning After the Wedding Blues
September 21, 2015
Wedding central is quiet. I know its cliché but, the silence is deafening. Can someone bring me a harmonica? Its just me and my thoughts, oh, and Mr. Spider (it could be Mrs. or Miss . . . how do you tell)? I was the first to arrive at our home away from home two … More I’ve Got The Monday Morning After the Wedding Blues
Friday Night Lights
September 3, 2015
On a Friday night in the fall, it would not be unusual to find me at a high school football game. My husband and I try to attend as many home games at Lakeland Christian School as we possibly can. We don’t have a child in the game. As a matter of fact, we … More Friday Night Lights
