In 1970 a Christmas TV special was released called “The Night the Animals Talked.” I don’t remember ever watching it, but I must have heard the title somewhere because I went on a Google search today and found it. It’s still available on YouTube and is a delightful little cartoon (remember it’s 1970 film, not […]

In a week and a half Christmas will be here. It’s one of those holidays that people either love or hate. There’s little middle ground. The rushing around, shopping, struggling with finances, office parties, family get-togethers – all of these things and more serve to make what should be a joyous season of celebrating the

If you’ve browsed my website, you may have noticed this little item called The When Chickens Have Teeth Companion and wondered what it is and why would I want it? I noticed that happening when I had my book signing. It is, as the title suggests, a companion guide for my book, When Chickens Have

We’re about to celebrate Thanksgiving, and once again forecasted blizzards threaten to strand travelers in airports. It’s been my opinion for many years that it’s foolish to even try to travel during the holidays. Have your Thanksgiving meal in July and eliminate the threat of blizzards! I’ve never had to travel far to join my

I tell you that in the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance. Or what woman, if she has ten silver coins and loses one coin does not light a lamp and sweep the house and search carefully until

Many years ago I found a white 12-quart soup pot, complete with lid and label, on my attic.. In spite of the label, my mom informed me that it was NOT a soup pot. Any old-timers out there who know what it really was? Yep, it was a chamber pot. For the non-old-timers, a chamber
The last few weeks have been crazy. My book has just launched. I’m fixing glitches on my website. Getting all my ducks in a row for a book signing. And continuing to work and get started on a new book. Crazy.
Over and over I’ve thought and even said out loud, “I need a vacation.” I just want to stay at home and put puzzles together and do counted cross stitch and not have to push myself to do anything. I was exhausted. I haven’t felt well in quite a while. I just wanted to rest!
In my blog “Memories” I recalled an incident from my childhood that I had believed my whole life, only to find out it never happened. This made me think about the Mandela Effect. The Mandela Effect is a phenomenon in which large groups of people remember something specific about a fact of history, a person, the way something was spelled or a detail about a TV show or movie. Others remember it in a different way, and often the documented facts prove one or the other to be wrong.

Memory is a funny thing. Think about your family sitting around the table at Thanksgiving, laughing and talking. An uncle tells a funny story. Your Mom interrupts: “That’s not how it happened.” She follows her declaration up with a retelling of the story the “right” way. Your uncle insists his version was correct. Another uncle
In last week’s blog I encouraged you to step out of your Comfort Zone. I mentioned how I would step out to teach or speak to people. I call it my “social butterfly” mode. But that almost sounds like a Sunday Morning Christian. Non-Christians refer to it as being a hypocrite. Not good. I want
