September 7, 2013. Mom died six years ago today. I have missed her everyday. Scott and I are off hiking today. (This post was written yesterday, and scheduled for delivery this morning. I’ve done that a few times this week.) Not sure how far, but the climb is about 700 feet. Watch for photos! PrayerContinue reading “Short Note Saturday”

Thank you again
September 6, 2013 The other day, in my post on Creativity, several of you weighed in via Facebook, and 1 comment to my post itself, identifying what you felt were areas in which I was creative. I’ve also been contacted separately by two individuals, one my brother Bob who pointed out my writing. And theContinue reading “Thank you again”
Running Late
September 5, 2013 I’m running REAL late today, and don’t have much to say. But I said I was going to try to write daily, even if I only gave a weather report. Scott and I went to dinner with some new friends last night. We had a great time, drank some good wine, andContinue reading “Running Late”
We Have Contact
September 4, 2013 Thought for the Day When the Bible declares that we are made in the “image and likeness” of the Creator, it is affirming that cretivity is at our core just as it lies at the core of the Creator of all things. – Matthew Fox Well, this morning, I slept late. KindContinue reading “We Have Contact”
Lessons Learned
September 3, 2013 Gorgeous morning here in the Mesilla Valley. But the mosquitos are SWARMING. After my last comments on being eaten by them, I took certain steps and as a result have had much less trouble. Until today. And of course, this morning, as I pulled the door shut I realized I’d not unlockedContinue reading “Lessons Learned”

Happy Birthday
Today is September 1, 2013. Mom would be 88 years old today. Happy Birthday Mom! My first thought today was of Mom. Well, ALMOST my first thought! My first thought, as I fought tooth and nail against consciousness, was “Shut up, Nikki, I want to sleep.” It was, after all 5:50. Then my second thoughtContinue reading “Happy Birthday”

Eden Found
Hi again today! At my brother’s prompting, I’m writing another post today; this one is not so much about the weather. It’s about settling in to life in Las Cruces, NM. I knew when we prepared to leave the Heartland to move to New Mexico that we were leaving a beautiful part of this country,Continue reading “Eden Found”
Monsoon
Life in New Mexico is, for the most part, settling down. Each room is close to being how the “final product” will look. There are pictures to hang, of course. And a few frames to purchase. And in spite of our best efforts, we brought too much stuff with us, so we’re going to haveContinue reading “Monsoon”
