This week’s theme for Six Word Friday is “grow” – as in my mantra lately: Grow a good mood by choice. I’m having an above average number of grumpy days lately. It’s for many reasons, but the worst one is “just because”. Why am I in a bad mood? Because. Am I achy? Tired? Hungry?…
Thank you everyone for the kind comments from my post the other day. I’m still digesting your advice and support. Most likely I will post about it next week. This week’s theme for Six Word Friday is “bring”. Oh yes, one of my favorite statements, but with a caveat: Bring it on – use with…
My favorite boy toy and I went to Colonial Williamsburg yesterday – yes, to chase more fall colors! We enjoyed a beautiful day walking around taking pictures and enjoying the scenery. The cast members portraying colonial life were in their costumes as usual, cooking, working the farms, driving the horse teams, and giving tours. I’ve…

I’m slowly reading a book called “Loyalty: The Vexing Virtue” by Eric Felton. It’s a fascinating book, discussing the good side and bad side of loyalty, how loyalties can conflict us, and how the ribbons of loyalty cannot be explained (my wording, not his). In an early chapter, Felton talks about the role of loyalty in…
There is so much to see in Williamsburg! I enjoy going there and am blessed to be less than an hour drive away from it, making it accessible without advance planning. The gardens there are beautiful. They are done in the style you would have expected in the 1700’s, with a mix of vegetables and various flowers. …
My favorite boy toy and I went to Williamsburg recently. It was sunny, but not hot until late in the afternoon, and the crowds were minimal since school is not out yet. It was fun to be able to see everything pretty easily, to walk around and take pictures, and just visit with each other…
