I love having a vegetable garden. I love the idea of planning my dinner by what I can get from my garden. For years, my husband did not share my enthusiasm for a garden. He would often say that his garden was at the nearby grocery store and it didn’t require any sweat or strained muscles. Years ago when we moved into our new home, good friends of ours were putting in their garden. All of a sudden, my husband was interested. Once it became a competitive event, he was very helpful in the Keep Reading...
Sailing
“Sailing. Takes me away. To where I’ve always heard it could be. Just a dream and the wind to carry me. And soon I will be free.” When I heard Christopher Cross sing those lyrics as a young teen, I envisioned myself smoothly sailing with nothing but peace, sunshine and a cool breeze tickling my senses. During my last semester at Texas A&M University, I decided I would learn to sail. I needed six credit hours in order to graduate so I was enrolled in the first summer session. Keep Reading...
An Imposter
I wasn't planning to post anything about bike riding for a while but yesterday changed that. Be patient. I promise to change topics next time. Cycling is popular where I live. Daily I see the cyclists with the skintight shirts hunched over their bikes - whizzing down the roads near me. They have sponsors on their shirts. I have a bike and like to ride. There are dirt trails in the area where I live that were designed for hiking trails but I thought it would be challenging to ride my Keep Reading...

At the urging of some friends, I have decided to start a blog. I'm not sure I totally understand the whole blog concept but I'm trying. It is a scary step for me to open my "writing" folder and share with you but I hope that my blog will encourage, inspire or simply cause you to grin. If you are family or one of my friends that I have had the joy of "doing life" with, be warned - you may show up here. Of course, I will change the names to protect the innocent. :) Below is my Keep Reading...

Pedaling With a Chihuahua On My Foot
A few months ago, I had fifteen small stitches taking out of my shin after having a minor surgical procedure to remove my very gross – I mean, my varicose - veins. Between the vein surgery and the fact that it has been hotter than Hades, I haven’t ridden my bike in about four months. With a very faint hint of fall in the air, tonight seemed like a good night to get back in the saddle – the bike saddle. I filled my water bottle, aired up the tires, downloaded new worship songs and off I went. Keep Reading...
