Waiting, waiting, waiting. I have heard the good news, now just waiting until it’s time.
Today at work I became very discouraged. I don’t want to be there (at Work) anymore. It’s not bad… in fact, it’s very very good. But my heart is somwhere else, about 2,028 miles away. According to Google Maps, it would [...]

I’m reading Emma again. I do love reading Jane Austen, but then it makes me talk like her… and at this moment I’m Miss Bates- oh have you heard that the watched pot never boils? Oh, said I, that is what my grandmama always used to say, and right she was, for it seems to [...]

God is GOOD!
Just thought I’d say how my heart is doing today. It’s a happy stress, really. I can’t stop smiling because I love my Jesus and HE LOVES ME!

I adore Pinky and The Brain, the cartoon. Not because it’s amazing or fills a deep-seated need. I love it because of the Pinky-and-The-Brain-isms, such as this:
Ponderings
“Pinky, are you pondering what I’m pondering?”
I think so, Brain, but where are we going to find a duck and a hose at this hour?
“Pinky, are you pondering what [...]

Some time ago, I wrote about some friends, the Mag Family, whose 19-year old suffered a brain injury and is completely paralyzed and cannot even communicate… yet. Well, last night Rob and I packed up our old double bed and drove to their home and exchanged our bed for their red (!) bunk beds. Our [...]

Dotty’s boyfriend LaMar is a lawyer. I just finished talking to my twin sister about what her darling knew with regard to family law. Dotty said he is only licensed to practice in the state of New York, but that he can help Rob and me with questions we have regarding a possible adoption.
Remember my [...]

It was just a couple of years ago, right? But alas no, because Ashton is grown and married with two boys (Willie and Charlie) who make my life complete. And Drew is grown and married and home (finally!) from his 2nd tour in Iraq.
In any case, I am more in love with you than ever [...]

I’m not typically known as patient. I know, you don’t believe me, do you? It’s true, though.
You are all such a blessing to me with your sweet and encouraging comments. It helps the wait be not so brutal.
Do I want to hear more news about my news? OF COURSE. And is the person who could [...]

Reading something 100 times does not change its meaning. Thank God.
What do you do when you have prayed at great length for something, only to find that your prayers are on the brink of being answered? Do you keep your “nose to the grindstone” and keep on going and working toward your goal? Do you [...]

Still pondering on the last post’s song Hey There Delilah.
We don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day here at the Rob and Jayleigh house. Our wedding anniversary is next week, and I still don’t know what I’m going to do for Rob then. Our budget is stretched rather tight these days and while we’re certainly making ends [...]

Music is a huge part of my life. This last week playing Musetta’s Waltz from the opera La Boheme` was amazing because it played over in my head and became the soundtrack of the entire weekend.
And so it goes for the song, Hey There Delilah which has been running ’round my mind for a while now. I [...]

I have that song Sunday Morning by Maroon 5 going through my head right now. *happy sigh* It IS Sunday Morning. And it’s been a lazy stay-in-bed-listen-to-music morning with my honey. Oooh that man! *grin*
The Meeting
The meeting went well on Thursday. We need to complete 15 hours of training before they will even give us [...]

Rob’s very generous birthday present to me was a 16×20 canvas gallery-rendition of this photograph of a Red Barn that I took back at the end of April, 2005.
It was my Christmas Card that year, and I always wanted an enlargement to hang on my wall… and now I have it. My husband is amazing.
Pondering

1. I don’t like to play by the rules, but I usually do.
2. I am infinitely intrigued by papers, inks, quill pens, sealing wax, etc. All authentic and old fashioned.
3. I could sit and look out the window at the snow for hours in silence. It’s so peaceful.
4. My greatest dream when I was a [...]
