Happy Birthday Cathy 2024

Really! There was no easy way out except to start all over again. It was then that I sat up and took notice. It happens so often to so many!

I was in my office and was just a little distracted when I thought I heard a knock on the door. I rushed down the stairs wondering who it could be.

Sometimes the stories just come by chance - alone by a campfire, in the stillness of the morning, in the hustle of a busy day

Yesterday I was thinking of some of the things I intend to do one day in my future and it reminded me of my aunt's advice

Funny how some iconic lines stay in your head! "There are eight million stories in The Naked City. This has been one of them".

It wasn't the best way to start a day because I hate arguing but it just had to be said and I was ready to take it on

We were just chatting over a morning coffee when my sister shared the most amazing story about babies and bread pans

Was it like a puzzle with a predetermined picture or would it be a tappestry that would be shaped and patterned by the weaver's hand

You never know what you are going to learn on a Saturday afternoon. We were helping artisan, Kayla Stride, with her first 'raku test run'

Such a beautiful morning. It always seems so on Easter Sunday.

I was so excited when I woke this morning for snowflakes were falling gently and everything was so peaceful

So if you start your mornings early and are waiting for daylight to start some of your chores, plan carefully before having a coffee

Another year gone by and it is now 2024. January 1st is always such a wonderful day to celebrate. It is a new beginning.

The Guy in the Glass by Oscar R. Gruter - This is so true regardless of gender

We all have them - traditions I mean - or, at least many of us do and hopefully we also have indoor plumbing. The littlest things matter

It was a card for a baby shower and something someone said on the radio that sparked the thoughts. It was the beginning - destination unknown

I was getting ready to head out early morning. With a few moments left, I decided to take a quick look on Facebook. What a wonderful start to my day when I read what our son had written. It is really all about little things!

Now it might seem a little pathetic to you but to me - I saw POTENTIAL. So what to do but to get out the pressure canner and get started

So much to be done on a rainy day. Oh the progress that could be made and the things that could be accomplished except ...

All it takes is a beautiful sunrise to awaken the magic and the hope of a new day. Funny how that always triggers such pleasant thoughts.
