Old Time Church Songs
For those of you who don’t know, I go to the Church of Christ where our singing is all acapella. Voices blended in harmony is a beautiful sound, especially when giving praise to God. On Sundays, church songs flow through my head and out my mouth. I mostly know the old southern gospel songs that […]
Sleeping Problems
Ever have trouble sleeping? What do you do while you’re awake? Occasionally I can’t sleep. It’s mostly due to eating or drinking something with caffeine too close to bedtime. Like 6 hours too close. I seem to be very sensitive to caffeine at night. If I eat chocolate after 4 p.m., the earliest I can […]
Older Women
So much has been said and sung of the beautiful young girls. Why don’t somebody wake up to the beauty of old women? Harriet Beecher Stowe The more I look in the mirror, the more I must acknowledge that I’m an older woman. I’m not sad about that, but gladly acknowledge that I’m in a […]

That date seems so…space-aged! Weren’t we supposed to have flying cars and interplanetary commerce by now? When I was a girl, I watched the Jetsons […]

Hubby sometimes tracks the floating plastic mass the size of a small continent in the Pacific Ocean. No one knows what to do about it or how to clean it up. I have an idea. They could heat it so it all sticks together, cover it with dirt, plant a few trees, put a milk […]
In Full Swing
The holiday season is in full swing. I finished shopping early this year, or so I thought, until I realized I hadn’t bought anything for Hubby. And as our usual tradition, I forgot to shop for my own stocking stuffers, so it’s back out with the crowds this week to fulfill those last few items. […]
Generation Gaps
Last Sunday, I saw an editorial that praised the term “OK Boomer” as something all the Millennials and Gen X, Y, and Z should say. The basic tenet of the piece was that it’s okay to disrespect elders. It’s not a new idea, but it’s never been a good idea. To echo my grandfather, back […]
