Keeping Score
Last week, I managed to add a couple thousand words to my WIP. So I’ll share a close up of my geranium. This week, my first grandchild arrives, so I doubt I’ll get much writing in. But maybe I can noodle a title for this work!
Taking a Break
Is it age or…? The older I get, the slower my brain seems to work. I wish I could rattle off two and three stories a year like other writers. Apparently, I have it backwards, cranking out one story every two to three years. My brain just doesn’t have the RPM’s. In fact, I find …
Sunrise, Sunset, Time and a Rose on the Sand
It’s been a while since I posted samples of my photography. So here’s a few you might find interesting. In May, we visited my husband’s cousin in North Carolina and spent Mother’s Day on the beach. At least two of these long-stemmed roses had been dropped on the sand at different intervals. …
Story Pictures from Pendant
Wondering about the house where Elaine stayed while hiding from someone who wanted to silence her? The pictures aren’t very good quality, but this is the house I envisioned. It was one we looked at when we first moved to the area and were looking to buy a home. It was a very unusual house, …
Longing for You, Lord
This scene is from a walking trail near my home. The verse popped to mind when I saw it.
Why Worry?
Not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God so clothes the grass of the field which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not also clothe you–O you of little faith? But …
Trees
Trees are the earth’s endless effort to speak to the listening heaven. Rabandranath Tagore Solitary trees, if they grow at all, …
Happy Valentine’s Day
Sometimes, even nature celebrates Valentine’s Day. This is a landscaping stone in our back yard, just the way it came from the nursery.
Bad Hair Day
Birthdays seem to stimulate memories. Since this is my birthday month, I’ve recalled quite a few memories. Thought I’d share this one with you. I went to a small elementary school that sat all by itself out in the Wisconsin countryside. When I attended, the school had one classroom for each of the five grades …
Photo Friday
Nearly all the vacations my family took while I was growing up were spent visiting grandparents who lived 8 hours away. My paternal grandparents had a room-size rug covering the hardwood floor in their living room. The rug was prickly and scratchy, and since I usually wore a dress, it was especially uncomfortable to sit …
Photo Friday
It rained steadily yesterday and when I stuck my head out to see how it felt, I found this little guy taking shelter on my patio.
Camp Memories
Doesn’t this picture make you want to skip down those steps to the lake? It does that to me. These steps lead to the boat dock at Lutherdale. But times have changed. Years ago, the boat dock was built with three or four slips for rowboats. You don’t see many rowboats anymore, the kind with …
Photo Friday
Ahhh. Sit back, relax and enjoy the view. All that’s missing is the sound of the waves lapping at the shore.

If you read yesterday’s post, you saw the picture of the dining hall at Lutherdale Bible Camp in Elkhorn, WI. A fireplace anchors each end of the hall. Above the fireplace at the opposite end is a symbol of the camp’s mission from the beginning. While this may not be the actual log, it’s a …
