My kids like to talk with me.  Mark called me last night just to talk.   I like to talk with them, too, so we’re even.  They are delightful people and we have a great time talking with one another and visiting, when we get the chance.   I really enjoy talking with my mom, [...]

Tom’s funny. How many of you go home for lunch every day or any time?  Anybody out there? Tom comes home for lunch every day.  He was able to begin doing so when we moved up to Picayune last spring into the apartment to start building our house.  Before we moved out here two weeks [...]

Fireflies & Hummingbirds

July 11th, 2007 · 8 Comments · Creating A Home, Perspective, Reflections, Tom & Me

We have fireflies and hummingbirds. The woods at night are filled with tiny flickers of light that are the fireflies.  Tom stands and leans out over the railing of the high back deck above the woods and watches them before he comes to bed.  Night lights of the best kind. By day, hummingbirds come to [...]

An Element of Calm Has Descended Upon the Land

July 10th, 2007 · 9 Comments · Creating A Home, Perspective, Philosophical, Reflections, Tom & Me, Uncategorized

I’m tired of thinking about and even writing about plumbing, so I won’t.  As of yesterday, it’s presumably (do I sound a bit skeptical here in my cynical years?) fixed.  So, an element of calm has descended upon the land.
