Farewell to Soapy
Most of our Sunday had come and gone. It was a leisurely one for a change, the way God intended it, our day of rest. We had attended church that morning, come home and had a simple lunch, and then … Continue reading
Nuts!
The squirrels have been busy around our place, although I don’t actually recall an actual sighting of one recently. If I were guessing, they probably spend a good bit of their time at some nearby creek or other water source … Continue reading

I used to fret a lot about things that are out of my control. Now I don’t fret so much about those things but have migrated on to a new list of concerns, a list which is constantly changing. It’s funny … Continue reading
Meatballs and Squirrel Jaws
