Traveling Solo: Fun Friday
http://aroadofmyown.blogspot.com/2015/08/fun-friday.html
Friday, August 7, 2015. Mike has left Hartwell and is heading toward Texas! A few years ago, she bought a little weekend house in her hometown to serve as a weekend retreat. "I think we all wind up going back to where we started," she said. "Either to live or be buried.". A little girl about Elena's age was trying on her clothes in the dressing room. Her mother, aunt, and grandmother were all standing outside waiting, speaking to her in Spanish, everybody smiling. In the meanwhile- 104 degrees outside- I...

Traveling Solo: Humor in the morning
http://aroadofmyown.blogspot.com/2015/08/humor-in-morning.html
Tuesday, August 11, 2015. Humor in the morning. Okay, here we go, launching our Mike-Wants-It-Just-Right Project- and Linda does too. I hear him already loading the big girl bed into his truck to return the antique store. A while back, I was having dinner with the Pritchetts and Nathan asked, "Do you think Mike would make me a go-cart? Let's ask him," I said, and called Mike on the phone. Sure, I will. I'll start looking for parts.". Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Working on the Call to Action.

Traveling Solo: Debbie, the Paint Lady
http://aroadofmyown.blogspot.com/2015/08/debbie-paint-lady.html
Friday, August 7, 2015. Debbie, the Paint Lady. Debbie is the friend of Mike's I told you about- or I think I did. Unlike me, Debbie can fix a car, plant trees, do plumbing and electricity, and build or remodel a house. She took the most decrepit house in Demorest, Georgia, and- almost single-handedly, turned it into this:. Everyone who saw it said she just tear it down! Look at it now! A beautiful three-color front door, flanked by a. Couple of San Antonio presents from Mike. I love her sense of color!

Traveling Solo: A spot of rain
http://aroadofmyown.blogspot.com/2015/08/a-spot-of-rain.html
Thursday, August 13, 2015. A spot of rain. Well, I just got back from the chiropractor- with this neck that I pulled out of place moving a bed a couple of weeks ago. And a little bit of a hernia situation caused by too much lifting of children and paint cans. I'm out of the painting game today, while I warm up my parts with a heating pad. We talked to our design and decor advisor, Debbie, last night and told her we were getting bracelets made that say, "What would Debbie do? Working on the Call to Action.

Traveling Solo: The flea market
http://aroadofmyown.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-flea-market.html
Saturday, August 15, 2015. Overall, the huge flea market was a disappointment- but we found some great plants- lavender bougainvillea, purslane, Mexican birds of paradise and a white camellia that grows in Texas. The plant man recommended putting coffee grounds and rusty nails in the soil around the camellia to make it more acidic. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Working on the Call to Action.

Traveling Solo: Eating with Friends
http://aroadofmyown.blogspot.com/2015/08/eating-with-friends.html
Thursday, August 6, 2015. In the prologue to Poor Man's Feast. By Elissa Altman, she writes: "There is poetry in food, kindness in the act of preparing it, and peace in sharing it.". The act of preparing food for ourselves, and for others, makes us kind. And the act of conviviality, of sharing it with others- Marion Cunningham called it modern tribal fire. Is what makes us human, whether it is tarted up and tortured into vertical excess, or nothing more than butter spread on a piece of bread.". Gerlinde ...
