Someday I hope to be all grown up. To have no burning questions. To be able to move beyond indecision. To not worry. To know what is the right thing in every trouble. Someday. But now and then I gain another rung. Like this one: We have discovered that happiness in marriage is more… Continue reading Growing Up

Don’t Waste Your Life
Elv and I had opportunity to be in Duluth yesterday, and we grabbed at a chance to see The Rose Garden in full bloom. Garden roses were everywhere in groupings of colors and kinds. There were mowed paths and water fountains and benches to sit and look or dream or visit as you wish. The… Continue reading Don’t Waste Your Life
Daisies For You
The daises came blooming right on the end of the trillium again this summer. Daisies grow anywhere: ditches, fields, woods, pastures, and along the roads here in Northwoods Beach. They grow over the graves of good men, says legend, thus the expression "pushing daisies". They are hardly ever bothered by pests and are grown world… Continue reading Daisies For You

It's the month for Elv's birthday.… Continue reading February, The Busy Month

We had further bantering discussion about how he ought to have married a woman who wanted money more than time together. We're both… Continue reading My Thankful List
Ramblings From The Scribbler
Gone are the blue skies of October. And now are the grey skies of November. Lawn chairs and outdoor grillings have been abandoned. It's too cold for evenings of patio fires. The flower foliage stands dead and soggy in the garden. We're in that inbetween time of putting autumn away and before taking the holidays out… Continue reading Ramblings From The Scribbler
Just Ramblings
First about being in limbo: Elv is working an hour from home and staying there in a the "Tamarack Residence" at Heartwood this week. The room is a little duplex with lots of bunks, a very modern fireplace, a teeny kitchen, a massive, many partitioned rest/shower room, and tile floors. We thought about… Continue reading Just Ramblings
