He heard

“But I call to God, and the LORD saves me. Evening, morning, and noon I cry out in distress, and he hears my voice. He ransoms me unharmed from the battle waged against me…” Psalm 55:16-18 I know God always hears our prayers, but yesterday…Wow. Not one person was killed in the thrash of tornadoesContinueContinue reading “He heard”

A refuge in the storm

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.” Psalm 46:1-2 Praying for my sister and family in PoplarContinueContinue reading “A refuge in the storm”

Oreos are a woman’s best friend

Pardon the absence. In the past month and a half, we have shuffled our kids, car seats, toys, clothes, books, vehicle, dog and other bits and pieces from Virginia to Kentucky to California and it has left me numb. Like Pavlov’s dog I arise every morning to the cry of a baby and start theContinueContinue reading “Oreos are a woman’s best friend”

Wills weds while I was sleeping

It saddens me to report that there was no party at my house today. No biscuits, no tea or scones. No taffeta hats, white gloves, or glittering gowns. Tragically, I was not one of the reportedly 2 billion people watching the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Nope. It was 3 am on the West CoastContinueContinue reading “Wills weds while I was sleeping”

Life is like a tornado: you never know where you’ll end up

Sometimes I like doing dishes. It sounds crazy, I know, but it’s true. Sometimes I need to do the dishes. Not like there’s mold growing in the old chilli bowl on the counter type of dishes, but I need time to think and clear my head kind of dishes. It’s 9:30 at night, and theContinueContinue reading “Life is like a tornado: you never know where you’ll end up”

Forget Auntie Em, It’s Sister Heather for me

Well, my sister’s been blogging more about our move to Kentucky than I have! I guess in all the upheaval I find comic relief in writing about my cheap sunglasses instead. Anyway, you should check out what she’s written! She blogs from her cute little ranch home in a small town in Missouri. She’s a writer, collegeContinueContinue reading “Forget Auntie Em, It’s Sister Heather for me”

The truth about cheap sunglasses

It’s that time of year again. Time to buy another pair of sunglasses. My latest pair of Vera Wang’s from Kohl’s have lost a screw, and left me squinting into the wild blue yonder defenseless against the sun’s blinding light reflecting off of asphalt and silver Toyota Camrys. Was it the poor construction that formulatedContinueContinue reading “The truth about cheap sunglasses”

Lessons in moving with toddlers

It’s been such a hectic couple of weeks round here, to stay the least, I almost forgot I had a blog. Okay, not quite but there have been so many things I have wanted to write about, like the well-loved oleaginous Whirly Pop I threw out after six years of use while packing a fewContinueContinue reading “Lessons in moving with toddlers”

Bye Bye Bellview

I better write this while I still have my mind. Part of it anyway. It’s 8:45 p.m. and I foresee a late night of packing ahead. It’s our last night in our house. From the moment I woke up this morning, I’ve been weepy about it. I’m not sure why, but I didn’t expect it.ContinueContinue reading “Bye Bye Bellview”
