Looking ahead

while sitting stillish. ish, not ill, because it is hard to be totally still, but it is easier to be stillish.
.............................................................................................................................................................................
Today I am thankful for a wonderful group of women that I spend time with on Sunday mornings, talking and praying about our lives as women, sisters, moms, daughters. Together we represent about 6 or 7 countries and I am definately one of the most freckled in the room. Love them. Still can't communicate very well with some, but LONGING for the day we can sit and chat without the language barriers. I will say, there is something about women and communication. We just do it. Might not get everything, but even if we don't understand everything, we understand what is important: families and faith and hope. Thanks God.

Memory vs Reality

Ike did a number on one of my favorite childhood memories of staying at the Sandpiper Motel in Galveston Texas.
I wasn't sophisticated enough at the time to know the difference between Hotel and Motel, but i loved this place. Goodbye childhood memory, hello reality.

as a p.s., loved that Galveston is rebuilding and that families are still bringing their children to create their own great memories.
