Rest in the Lord and be willing to wait for Him. Psalm 37:7 (NLV)
Sunbathing in Winter I can see signs that they are beginning to transition to their spring and summer yellow coloring. I always like to learn new things about birds. From the Internet: This bird is known to be the only member of the finch family that sheds off all its feathers twice in a single […]
Wednesday, February 19 I was having a great day – got a lot of work done and even visited with a friend. Then, just before supper I began feeling dizzy. There were no other symptoms. No headaches. No upset stomach. I walked carefully but often had to hold onto something to stay steady. I was […]

Monday, February 10 My sister, Nancy, took me to Hearth and Harrow for coffee on Monday morning (a few days after my birthday).

Thursday, February 6 Our granddaughter Lydia and I have been trying to get together for affogatos at Fox Creamery for several weeks. (The iced drink is also hers.) Each time she had a day off from work and was in the mood for an affogato, it didn’t suit me. Finally, I said to her, “Let’s […]
