Friday Fill Ins!

Well, it is Friday and I am at home this morning, sipping on a cup of coffee before my pedicure! Nice time to do a fun meme!

1. The Mayan Riviera is my favorite place to travel to. It's not too far from where I live, it is gorgeous and tropical!

2. When I think about my childhood, I often remember how fun it was to play outside with my brother. We could have the most fun with absolutely nothing but a tree, some grass, a sand pile and on really hot days, a water hose. Those were good days!

3. Honesty and commitment makes for a good friend.

4. The wind in the trees, the rain on my skin, and the sun in my eyes...all good things.

5. My son is moving to Texas and it is so exciting!

6. My best friend knows she will always be the best friend I ever had.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to relaxing at home with my husband - hopefully watching a movie, tomorrow my plans include cycle, shopping and sunning and Sunday, I want to worship at The Village Church, go to Ikea to buy birthday gifts for my son, start my Counseling Class and finally finish the day meeting with my Home Group Ladies!

Happy Friday!

There should really be a law on how many times I have to read about Ikea stores from bloggers in one day....SO UNFAIR that Kansas City doesn't have one. :o) Enjoy your day!

I Close My Eyes

Well, I did it. I took the writer's challenge at a blog that I have been lurking around for some time. I found this blog through Laura at Wellblog 's place and have been enthralled ever since. I have dabbled in poetry on and off. Written some invitations, cards, and even a few song lyrics (for fun) but have been hesitant to post any. (roaring lion? see below post ) With the encouragement of a friend, I decided to take the challenge on L.L.Barkat's blog, in a lesson on seeing. I chose a subject that is cherished, a memory that was real and something close to my heart. The beach. Many, many days were spent at the beach in the 12 years I lived on the Southern Virginia coast. The memories are real, and when.......... I close my eyes and I can still see the beach. The endless spans of water Sometimes blue, green, or gray. It moves Gently and Violently Bubbles rise and falling forward. On and on. I close my eyes and I can still hear the crash Of tidal movement As earth slowly spi...

A Promise is a Promise (Grand Canyon)

Many years ago, I am guessing about 19 of them, our family visited the Grand Canyon for one day, on the way home from a trip to California to visit family.  Our eldest son was around 11, our middle one around 9, and our baby was a little over a year old.  Our boys wanted desperately to hike into the canyon, but our oldest one especially so.  He pleaded and my husband and I held firm our "No" as our youngest was too young and we were not outfitted for such an adventure.  I promised that we would return one day. A few months later we moved to the East Coast of Virginia.  Not planned when we stood at the edge of the canyon and that promise was made. And the many times we planned vacation time to the beach, our son reminded me of that promise to go the the Grand Canyon. Time flew quickly and years later we had not returned to the Grand Canyon.  But, we did move to Texas and as we looked at spending time as a family, our oldest son brought this promise bac...
