Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, …
On the Friday after Thanksgiving in 2017, I went dog shopping. A couple of months before that I lost my best dog ever Oscar to bone cancer. He was only seven and I had hoped for at least two or three more years with him. He was a big lab mix and without a doubt, a person in a dog …

“Happiness held is the seed; Happiness shared is the flower.” ~John Harrigan We built a fence this morning. Well, we put it together anyway.

Years ago, I started walking with my dogs early in the mornings. First I had my best ever dog, Oscar, along with me. Later, after Oscar crossed the rainbow bridge, I got Frankie and then Marley who go for my morning walks with me now. On my Facebook author page, I started inviting my FB friends to go along with …
When you get a perfect spring day in April on a Saturday or a Sunday, you need to take advantage of the gift if you can. And when the whole weekend feels like a perfect June day, it’s time to be outside. We did go to church which was inside. I have remembered times when it was suggested we carry …
