Finding Direction: The Wind Vane Chronicles

I’ve decided that today shall be “Question Day” here at Finding Direction.  You ask me questions and I’ll answer.  Any subject/topic, full of meaning or meaningless, things that have really been bugging you about me/us/the “fam” that you don’t know, but would like to know, anything philosophical or educational that you think I might have [...]

May God’s richest blessings be with you today and may we all raise our voices in thanksgiving to Him, our creator, our loving Father, who blesses us with all things.
I am joyfully thankful for all of you – my dear friends.

I feel very blessed with amazing graces this morning because of all of your heartfelt comments and prayers on my behalf and for Rebecca and our entire family.

My dear friends,

Today’s the day you’ve all been waiting for!  Greg has gotten his gift cap from Tom’s beloved collection (remember the cap contest? see here & here) and really likes it.  Tom and I are so excited for him.
I’m sharing his photo in it that he sent me right here today at Finding Direction.  But wait; [...]

This Post is Dedicated to Tom, Greg, Patrick & Other Such Fanatic, Obsessed Husbands With Hobbies

For those of you just joining us, I’ve spent the past couple of posts sharing the story of Tom’s purchase of a small sailboat a year and a half ago and the ensuing expenses of maintaining and upgrading said [...]

I’m writing to you today from Biloxi, Mississippi from the Beau Rivage Casino Hotel Resort where we are attending the 143rd annual Mississippi Press Association’s summer convention.  That’s a long time, folks, for newspapers in Mississippi (and newspapers in general) to have been such a big part of American life. 
I mean – we’re talking [...]

 
I have every letter my sister has ever written me.
I consider them to be a vast treasure of memories, creative writing, poetry, humorous renditions of the stories of her life and and deep insights into her evolving personality and character through the years as she grew from a child of 11 into a young wife [...]

You know . . . this technological, fast paced, instant communication between total strangers across vast spaces around the world society we live in has its pitfalls.  Using our computers the way we all do is one of the leading ones.
Yep – I’ve been duped again.
And I’m mad at myself because I should know [...]
