Fall

Where on earth does the time go?
I don’t know about y’all, my friends, but I have been busy!  An exceedingly long pit stop at this awesome blog this afternoon inspired me to get myself back over here to post something. 
It’s autumn!  My favorite time of year.  It began at the end of August, with the [...]

Discovery: Part One

I’ve been thinking it’s time to either pay attention to my blog or call it curtains. 
What, after all, is there left for me to say?  You’ve all seen photos of my kids, my yard, my flowers.  You’ve heard about my favorite books and been subject to waaaaay too many rambling posts about my faith and/or [...]

The Fate of This Blog…

Dear Friends,
I was kind of looking forward to the one-year anniversary of my blog (next month).  I’ve been working on some things that I wanted to post, including my conversion story, which is finally finished.  A year ago today, I received the Sacrament of Confirmation in the Catholic Church.  Last night after Mass, I stopped [...]

Pro-Abortion Christianity: An Untenable Position

Dear Friends,
Today after school, I was chatting at the bus stop with a new-ish mom-friend of mine whom I’ll call Miss Blue (for her pretty blue eyes).  She’s a wonderfully friendly lady and has been very kind to me my and my children ever since we met.  She is also a fallen-away Catholic (fell [...]

The Simple Woman’s Daybook for 10/6/08

Hello Friends! Is it just me, or did last week seem really long?  Anyway, it’s Monday once more, and time for The Simple Woman’s Daybook, hosted by Peggy.  Seems like this is the mainstay of my blogging these days…..oh well!
Outside My Window…Pitch black, hopefully cool!  The back porch garden is in severe need of watering—that’s [...]

Outside My Window…The sun is coming up, the birds are singing, and we are enjoying a spell of blissfully cool weather.  Oh, how I wish it would last!
I am thinking…About a letter I [...]

Update on the Dems Pro-Abortion Flyers

Remember last week, when I wrote this post about the stupid pro-abortion/anti-McCain flyers I’d gotten in the mail from the Florida Democratic Party?
Well, the day after that, I got another flyer. Different look, same message. And the day after that, I received yet another. Apparently, they are putting an awful lot of [...]

Thank You, Florida Democratic Party

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I would be writing about politics on my blog. It’s one of those topics you’re never supposed to discuss. Yet, I already talk plenty about the other “no-no,” religion, so what the heck?
I just returned from my mailbox, where I picked up not one but [...]

The Simple Woman’s Daybook for 9/1/08

Hello, Friends! As you see, I’ve pretty much finished remodeling my blog. It didn’t take nearly as long as I thought it would, and though it was a definite challenge at times, it was really fun!
It’s Monday again; time for The Simple Woman’s Daybook.
Outside My Window…It’s unbearably hot and humid. [...]

The Simple Woman’s Daybook for Monday, August 25, 2008

Outside My Window…Tropical Storm Fay has left a complete mess in its wake. Our yard is a disaster—branches down, whole trees down (pictures to follow in a later post). Technically, it’s over. But it isn’t over. Even as I type this, the sky is dark. It’s thundering again—we already had [...]
