Fields ...

"You know you're from Indiana when ...

You took backroads to get there - why sit in traffic?"

Words...

Is there really light at the end of the tunnel?
What if we say this ...   bring light into the tunnel. What does that look like? Carrying light into dark situations, bringing words of hope into our culture that is struggling with divisiveness, hatred, and confusion.

I am looking forward to participating in  a writer's workshop where we look at ways we can bring light into dark places. The facilitator will guide us through a series of exercises to help us discover lessons in suffering.

 Since suffering is inevitable it might be worthwhile to gain deeper understanding for ourselves and possibly truths to share.

Cloyd the Cat

"Cats can work out mathematically the exact place to sit 

that will cause the most inconvenience."

Pam Moore

Cloyd the Cat looks at ease at the breakfast table. Is he looking at the biscuits or maybe the sausage? Whatever, he looks very comfortable. Cloyd lives on a farm near Maysville.

Friendship Friday

What does a model friendship look like? If we could measure  friendship traits what would be  the most important qualities? Is what we feel and experience  the best measurement of friendship?

Even our most trusted friends must struggle to balance their lives with our needs. We know from personal experience that we often try to balance it all ...  family, career, and personal responsibilities.  We  understand  that we cannot always be available to our friends.


I think our best model for friendship is Jesus. In scripture, we discover true love in Jesus.
I love I had the opportunity to experience  true friendship in community with these friends.

coffe or tea

"If this is coffee, please bring me some tea;
but if this is tea, please bring some 
coffee ... "

Tasty Tuesday

Our Water Fitness  class enjoys celebrations. We celebrate birthdays, wedding anniversaries, bridal showers,  recovery milestones, and missing you celebrations. This morning, current members and formers members gathered together to reconnect.

Some class members stay, others pop in and out, and others drop out. Whatever the circumstances, we enjoy visiting. 

This is breakfast is Blue and White Pancakes.
This breakfast was shared with a friend.
One friend ordered the BLT and Egg Sandwich.
Are you able to read the dish description of the Elvis Pancakes?
If not, here goes:
A stack of three buttermilk pancakes,
 filled with fresh sliced bananas,
peanut butter chips and chocolate chips.
Served with your choice of two sides.
Oh My.

Pet of the week, Emmett

"Time spent with cats is never wasted."
Sigmund Freud

That may be true for Sigmund. I wasted a few minutes trying to get a good picture of Emmett.

I found it impossible to get a good picture of this week's pet. He was unwilling to sit quietly and pose for me. Cats are certainly not like dogs who will sit when  you say sit. No so with cats 😮

 Emmett is a sweet boy is 14 years old.
