MONDAY MEANDERINGS #17

Hello, friends. I'm happy to be back with a new post this week and have lots to share. So grab a second cup of coffee or tea and settle in. 🙂 Just kidding. I won't bore you with endless details. I could almost hear the water trickling over the rocks when I found this image. …

Monday Meanderings #16

Greetings, friends. I am astounded by how fast time is going. My mom always said the older you get, the faster it goes, and I am experiencing that as a profound bit of truth. School is about to be out for all the kiddos, so there will be lots of final events happening this month. …

Monday Meanderings #15

Hello, everyone in blog land. April is sliding past us very rapidly and soon it will be full on summer. I'm sharing this photo I took when I had the incredible opportunity to attend a writer's conference in Ireland two years ago. It was a wonderful path to meander down. This past week has been …

MONDAY MEANDERINGS LUCKY #13

Hello, friends. April is starting out to be true to its reputation. We've had several days of rain and the trees are super happy! It's been another week of ups and downs. But that's life, right? This will be my last meandering for a while, as I go in for surgery next Monday. I will …

Monday Meanderings #12

Happy last Monday of March, friends! I almost didn't get a post up for today as I had a weekend away with my girls and got home late. But here we go. Last week went by in a blur. On Tuesday, as I sat in the car line to pick up my granddaughter from school, …

Monday Meanderings #11

Hello, friends, and Happy Monday! The redbud trees are blooming like crazy here! So pretty. Last week I was away from home a lot with the kids out of school on spring break. Friday, I took all of them to see the Titanic Exhibition in Dallas and it was fascinating! All the kiddos loved it, …

Monday Meanderings #10

Happy St. Patrick's Day, friends. I don't have a lot to share today, so this post will be short and sweet. It's beginning to look like springtime in Texas! The Bradford Pear Trees and the Dogwoods are blooming. Still, I expect one more cold snap. My mom always used to say there would be an …

Monday Meanderings #8

Goodbye, February, hello, March! For us in Texas, March 2nd is celebrated as Texas Independence Day. It is also my oldest grandson's birthday, and is his first birthday away from home. Created in Canva I awoke very early Saturday morning to find my muse chattering in my ear. Really? It's Saturday. I wanted to sleep. …

Monday Meanderings #5

Happy Monday, friends. It's Valentine's week and for me always a little bittersweet. But that's okay. It is what it is. If you have a sweetheart, celebrate! After several mid-seventy to eighty degree days, it's now turned off cold and rainy. Those warm days were teasing us. Spring isn't here yet. I accomplished a dreaded …

Monday Meanderings

Happy Monday, friends. I hope everyone is well and feeling positive about a new week. We had our first snow of the year and, no this photo is not from the snow, but from Canva. It's rare for Texas to get snow this early in January. However, it was short lived - only a couple …
