Sorely disappointed with Francine Rivers right about now

First of all, one of my greatest pet peeves will always be people who criticize other people for things they’re not doing. So, like, if you’re all, “Mother Theresa isn’t all that. I mean, what’s she ever done for homeless pets?” Sure, she’s didn’t help pets. BUT SHE DID A WHOLE LOT MORE THAN YOUContinueContinue reading “Sorely disappointed with Francine Rivers right about now”

Beautiful, beautiful wedding

I attended a wedding on Saturday. A wedding of a most beautiful bride. It made me remember everything I’ve ever loved and heard about weddings, ever since I was little. I met the bride while we were both in high school, and we met up again years later in college. She has always been sincereContinueContinue reading “Beautiful, beautiful wedding”

SO THEN MY SISTER GRADUATED

The Greatest Generation

I went to an event last night. It was billed as a “USO dance”, scheduled for the 68th anniversary of Victory Day. So I wore my faux-seam-nylons and came ready to dance. (Generally speaking, I plan to dance at dances). What I didn’t realize is that, while there was dancing, a large percentage of theContinueContinue reading “The Greatest Generation”

April Crafting Challenge went down; I just forgot to tell you about it

There were made crafts in April!! I promise! I just didn’t post about them. Here’s what’s up: the recipient for April is a great guy named Alan who lives somewhere in California. We met on New Year’s retreat a few years back because it’s where you meet awesome people. Alan is fun and generous…and anContinueContinue reading “April Crafting Challenge went down; I just forgot to tell you about it”

Ruffled sleeves and other matters.

First of all: it needs to be known that I have worn the same sweater five days this week. Colleen gave it to me on Saturday, and I have worn it unabashedly. Amen. Also! GUYS IT’S FINALLY GETTING WARMER. Spring things everywhere! Flowers! Warm weather! Because of the wonder of Spring lured us out-of-doors, IContinueContinue reading “Ruffled sleeves and other matters.”

What I BOUGHT Wednesday

HEY Guuuuuuuuuys! I went to a church rummage sale today. The church is on the fancy side o’ town with all the top name brands and what not making and appearance, so I made my way out there. I’ve been going to this church rummage sale since I was a kid, and I thought itContinueContinue reading “What I BOUGHT Wednesday”

My Favorite Graffiti

Every time I see this bit of vandalized property, my heart smiles: It’s along the road near my house…a road we frequently drive, walk, run, and bike. Someone painted it on one of those boxes used for monitoring light or electricity or who-knows-what. Here: It’s not very big, you see. It’s at the base ofContinueContinue reading “My Favorite Graffiti”

Apparently I can’t be trusted with glue

Sometimes, around my house, things will need to be fixed…but I won’t fix them. I’ll just note they need to be fixed and save that in my brain for another occasion. Case in point: I have a black skirt decorated with numerous (excessive) silver buttons, and the bottom button is missing. Or rather, it’s inContinueContinue reading “Apparently I can’t be trusted with glue”

What SHE Wore Wednesday

Sometimes, on Wednesdays, I’ll find someone who is dressed cute…and I won’t be able to prop my camera anywhere to take my selfies. And then I’m just like, “I MUST FEATURE THAT PERSON INSTEAD.” Enter this girl. RETURN OF THE JULIA!! Here she is, folks. Rocking the same green skirt. 🙂 That’s a fantastic exampleContinueContinue reading “What SHE Wore Wednesday”
