Crocheting for Charity

 At various times since I retired, I have found myself searching for a new purpose, a new activity, or a new volunteer opportunity.

A Reflection on Gifts

As part of a church book study in February and March I was struck by a passage about gifts that has prickled at my mind every since.

Social Distancing Staycation

Yep, that's me. Beautiful morning on the patio. I’m retired. Why do I need a staycation during quarantine? I didn’t need a staycation. I just wanted one. The vacation began when I knew I needed a change of pace after weeks of lockdown. I asked myself what I would do if I were going on … Continue reading Social Distancing Staycation
