My husband is many wonderful things. I especially like that he makes me laugh. Today, I was in the kitchen making a sandwich and singing part of a Keith Urban song. Take your cat / and leave my sweater Tony responds in his Red-the-cat voice. “Why don’t you want the cat?” As if on queue, our orange tabby cruises around …

Rain, Rain, Write, Write
This is my life these days. Rain, rain. Write, edit, write, rewrite, edit. Time, time is ticking by and I can feel an explosion inside. 😉 Thanks to those who called to check on us after the tornadoes the other day. And for letting us know there were tornadoes. Clueless, here.
An Inconvenient Truth
Al Gore has it right. It IS an inconvenient truth. Right title. Wrong subject. Global warming is a distraction. Not that we shouldn’t care about our environment! We should. I was a great fan of the weeping Indian in the ’70s commercial. Remember that one? He as standing by a stream littered with garbage. Gore’s movie, for whatever reason, has …
The sound of my friend
A friend of mine plays bass. In fact, I have several friends who play bass. But on this one particular day, I was listening to a song called “Glorious Throne” by Alisha Powell from the International House of Prayer-KC. The song is upbeat with a lot of funk. Pretty good for a white girl. There’s a vamp bridge in the …
Making a Case
Pardon me while I make a case, from the Word. Hang with me, this is interesting. Promise. In Numbers 27, the daughters of Zelophehad went to Moses and said, “Hey, just because we’re girls we don’t think we should lose out on our fathers inheritance.” They made their case. Our dad died. He was a righteous man, and why should …
John Elway Furniture
I’m driving home from an errand this morning and hear an ad on the radio for John Elway Furniture at SAMS Club. Really? John Elway, the Hall of Fame quarterback? Has a furniture collection? Did he design it? I thought it was a little hokey when Cindy Crawford teamed up with Rooms To Go with a signature line of furniture, …
Failure
Failure is not falling short. Failure is not measuring up to how or who I want to me. Failure is quitting because of those things. “If I can’t be the best, I won’t be at all.” So I press on. Success.
Weddings, Celebrations, Life
We went to a wedding tonight. It was lovely and sweet, but it was during the reception when people were talking and dancing that the celebration began. Maybe because I’m in deep-dark-writing-mode and don’t get out much, but it was fun to laugh and talk, dance a little, eat a little. Have cake. I love cake. On the way home, …
