The beautiful lady above is someone I went to church with for many years. Loretta lived a good life and was blessed with many years. She lacked only a few months making it to 100 when she …
Do you love having birthdays? I do. One a year is enough since they add up pretty quickly even at that one a year rate. 🙂 But birthdays are to enjoy even as the numbers go up.

“Did you know that there are over 300 words for love in canine?” – Gabriel Zevin I know. I’m late. It is Thursday, not Wednesday when I usually post. But we had company last night and had to get a new television set up since the one we had just blew up a couple of days ago. Now, while I …

“I’m late! I’m late! For a very important date! No time to say hello, goodbye! I’m late! I’m late! I’m late!” (The White Rabbit in Alice in the Wonderland) Yes, I am late with this post – again.

“The only thing that you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library.” ~Albert Einstein I’ve no doubt said this before here on One Writer’s Journal, but I’m saying it again.
