Whimsical Wednesday

Posted in Dee's Family, Families, Perspective, Philosophical on March 21st, 2007 12 Comments »

We have a new baby in our family.  A grandbaby girl and I'm going to go see her today!  Her name is Kayci Lynn O'Neil and she was born at 7:17 p.m. yesterday evening.  She weighs in at 7 lbs. 12 oz. and is 19 inches long.  About average as babies go, I guess.  She's [...]

A Letter to You, My Readers

Hi -I thought I'd just straight out write a letter to you all this morning to see how you're doing!  I know some of you very well, some not so well and some only through my site meter and your "hits" to Finding Direction.  That's all you "lurkers" out there.I wish I knew you lurkers [...]

[Note:  This was my very first "Wind Vane" story the day (on March 1, after two weeks of blogging back in February 2005) I changed the name of my blog from "Meandering Footprints" to "Finding Direction: The Wind Vane Chronicles (thus the first comment from then following).  It is from my would be book, so [...]

A Valentine Message For You All

Posted in Dee's Family, Uncategorized on February 14th, 2007 4 Comments »

Happy Valentine's Day!  I could just wax eloquent about Tom and how crazy about him I still am after all the years I've known him - some 28 now - as a work colleague, a friend, a lover, a husband, giving him credit for every good thing in my life in all that time.  And [...]

 [Note:  I originally published this post on May 17, 2005, but want to present it again because of the inspiration Greg England's story of his heritage has been the past three days over at "The Rev's Ramblings."  So enjoy and add to the original 4 comments to let me know what you think.] It's been quite [...]

Journey to the Far Shore

Not to be morbid here in any way, but if any of you are still around when this shell of a physical body I live in goes back to the earth from whence it came - dust to dust, ashes to ashes - and my soul takes flight, remember these words of mine today.  I [...]

A “Wind Vane” Story - A Perfect Day - September 15, 1996

Posted in Dee's Family, Families, Philosophical, Reflections, Spirituality, Wind Vane Stories on September 30th, 2005 9 Comments »

[Note: I haven't posted a "Wind Vane" story in a long time, now, even though my blog is "Finding Direction: The Wind Vane Chronicles." This is a very special one, close to my heart. It's that time of year] For most people, September 15 has no special meaning. It comes a week before fall officially blows [...]

Odds & Ends

Posted in Dee's Family, Families, Friends, Humor, Movies; Music on February 25th, 2005 No Comments »

Just down the road, between here and downtown Slidell there’s a nice city sports park that has long had nicely trimmed shrubs on a small rise of ground out in front spelling out the name "John Slidell" in greenery.
