MONDAY MEANDERINGS #23 – 2026

Hello, friends. Thank you for joining me for another ramble. This week leads us up to the 4th of July in America. But to be honest, I don't feel much like celebrating. I'll just leave it at that. This past week was a rollercoaster on steroids. It started out with the road trip. My three …

MONDAY MEANDERINGS #22 – 2026

Hello, friends. Yesterday was the Summer Solstice, and I found this image to reflect that. I had an extremely busy week (what else is new?), right? Still, this one was even busier than usual. My granddaughter closed out the dance season with three nights of recital. The whole event was so incredibly uplifting. These kiddos …

Monday Meanderings #20 – 2026

I'm late with this post, but returned home last night. Still, I want to say hello and share. You may remember last week I shared I was going to visit with my brother who lives in Katy, Texas, near Houston. He is eighty-five, so ten years older than me. He's always been a hard worker …

Monday Meanderings #17 – 2026

Hello, friends. I am feeling especially grateful today. In a world filled with chaos, I choose kindness, love and joy. I hope all the Moms out there had a wonderful Mother's Day celebration!

Hello, friends! Thank you for joining me again for a bit of meandering. It's bluebonnet season time in Texas and this is an actual photo someone took. They are so amazing. A sea of purple. It's been a busy week on the literary front. I've gotten a good start on the new Christmas story and …

MONDAY MEANDERINGS #14 – 2026

Welcome to the beginning of a new week. I almost let National Poetry Month, slip by without acknowledging it. So, I'm remedying that today. First, let me explain this photo. Kelli Shannon is a friend who is also a fabulous photographer and realtor. She has started a blog designed to empower older women and uplift …

Greetings, friends. You know what they say about April showers? Well, we are expecting showers for the next several days. But the trees and flowers need it. I never complain about rain. And, I'm late with this post, but there's a reason. My daughter and son-in-law went to Broken Bow for the weekend and I …
