September 19, 2013 When you remember me, it means you have carried something of who I am with you, that I have left some mark of who I am on who you are. It means that you can summon me back to your mind even though countless years and miles may stand between us. ItContinue reading “Second Anniversary”

Guess.What.Day.It.Is.
September 18, 2013 I wonder just how many blogs and other posts have used that as a title since that commercial came out? Well, all I can say is… I’m as happy as a camel on hump day! Why? Because I live in New Mexico. Because every day is a beautiful day. Actually, every dayContinue reading “Guess.What.Day.It.Is.”
Fallen Comrades
September 17, 2013. Five years ago today, CPT Bruce Hays was in a convoy in eastern Afghanistan, when the convoy was hit by an IED. I remember seeing a news blurb on the internet that day. No names were mentioned, just that a convoy had hit an IED and there were several casualties. At thatContinue reading “Fallen Comrades”
September 16
September 16, 2013 Yesterday, we had a wonderful day! It started out at First Christian Church of Las Cruces. Our pastor, Rev. Linda Mervine, preached on Luke 14:25ff. This begins with a passage that I’ve long had problems with. “Unless you hate your parents……” Now that is so NOT the God I understand, nor theContinue reading “September 16”
It’s a Pretty Day
September 15, 2013 Wow. I’m stumped. I’ve been sitting here, looking at a blank screen for 10 minutes! Yesterday, we spent a couple of hours at Scott’s folks. Our girls haven’t seen Gramma for a while, so we went over for a while. And, while there, Scott put in their new thermostat – one orContinue reading “It’s a Pretty Day”
Saturday in the Park
September 14, 2013 Well, nothing to report on the job front. Yesterday was a quiet day. Looks like today will be as well. Once again it’s rainy! And, with nothing to report, I’ll call it a day! Prayer Intention Any concern too small to be turned into a prayer is too small to be madeContinue reading “Saturday in the Park”
Rainy Days and Fridays never get me down
September 13, 2013 This low pressure front has brought us lots of rain. This morning I awoke to the sound of rain, so I encouraged Nikki to go back to sleep, and attempted to follow my own advice. We made it until 6:43 am, when the combination of my bladder and Nikki’s whimpering finally draggedContinue reading “Rainy Days and Fridays never get me down”
Off Day
September 12, 2013. Today is an Off Day. A low pressure system has swung up from the Gulf of Mexico and is dumping lots of rain on us. It rained in spurts most of the day yesterday as well as most of the night. We were awakened at 4 or so by weather alerts onContinue reading “Off Day”
We Remember
September 11, 2013 Today. I remember 9/11/01 like it was yesterday. I promise I will NEVER forget. Lord, we remember the old hymn, “O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, our shelter from the stormy blast, and our eternal home.” In these days, help us return not only toContinue reading “We Remember”
Keep those doggies walkin
September 10, 2013 It rained last night! The morning air was cool when we set out at 6:15 for our morning “longwalk”. But also very humid. Today promises more rain. We’re at the tail end of monsoon season, and in fact, probably past it, but here it is! Every day we go for several walks,Continue reading “Keep those doggies walkin”
