Joy & Delight

Jumping into "paper-spagetti" and feather-tickling~

Ah! LIFE!! 

Oh, God, may I never forget how little it takes 

to find joy and delight in my life.

Amen

Whim-Sea

Sea-Soaked

The ocean has always been my home-away-from-home. 

And to be here on Thanksgiving Day, enjoying splendid weather...

well, it's beyond words! Or maybe not:

"For the beauty of the earth

For the glory of the skies

For the love which from our birth

Over and around us lies

Christ our God, to Thee we raise

This our hymn of grateful praise!"

Happy Thanksgiving!

It's two days before Thanksgiving, and almost one year 

to the day since I started this M.E. blogsite.

It has been a year of surprises 

and of remembering what really matters in life.

The blogsite chronicles a year of 

GRATITUDE 

and paying attention to life, plain and simple, happening 

all around, all the time!

All Aboard!

We celebrated Mary's birthday with an IMAX ride 

through the beautiful Canadian Rockies.

Wheeeeeee!

And I'm not kidding!

Birthday Blessings?

Daddy would have been 95 today.

He was always looking for ways to have fun...and perhaps he still is.

You'll see the PaPa's, as I like to call them, making their way around 

my Study-O this morning, blessing my chair, then Caleb, 

then the bluebird of happiness that hangs by my Study-O door,

and then even Sawyer, who NEVER takes an afternoon nap, 

but fell asleep in his chair at 2:45 watching Baby Neptune 

and eating a popsickle.

Now, I'm just saying...

"Tissue"

"Tissue" was one of Sawyer's first words.

Guess a seemingly perpetually runny nose might explain that.

Here he's enjoying one of Coco's

clever seasonal gifts--a Turkey-Tissue. Cool!

Autumn

Who says vibrant autumn leaves don't appear in Lubbock, Texas?

Thomas the Train Rides Again

Isn't it interesting how a little melody can bring back sweet memories.

Here's a tribute to Thomas the Train for doing just that today!
