Christmas feels very different this year. I’m simplifying. I’m doing less. I’m spending less. I’m crazy less. I like it. What am I doing differently this year? I’m letting go. Letting go of some obligations, the self-pressure, and some (working towards all) expectations. It feels very good. Like drawing full, deep breaths into clear lungs […]
20 Blessings in 2019
Gosh, when we stop to count our blessings, they really pop out, don’t they? We seem to focus on the negative. I think because the negative things in life poke at us – which forces them to the forefront. This makes us a grumpy, annoyed kind of lot. The positives just surround us quietly, bringing […]

Life Between Posts
It’s been eight months since I’ve written here. That’s a long time between posts. Several factors have kept me from showing up. 1.

There’s no baking, it’s really just an assembly process – whip and layer. This delicacy won’t be on any diet plan; however enjoying once […]

Homemade Pillowcases
Wow. It’s been 10 months since I popped in here on the blog. Adventures continue to occur here in the Ballpark, but I have to say, sometimes they are too tender to share, or I just can’t bring myself to spill out into cyberspace the things that weigh me down. I always wanted this blog to […]

The Birthday Boy! (our Idaho potato)
Our baby has a birthday today. We were living in Idaho when I delivered this 10-pound, cuddle-bug spud. He arrived after just a couple of hours in the birthing chair, which was a fairly new contraption at the time. I knew he was a boy, even though I’d never had an ultrasound. My belly was […]
