• My perfect space for reading and writing and what it’s like!-Writing Prompt

  Over the past few months since I added my favorite authors on my Facebook page, Jewell’s of Thought; new posts have shown up.

• Cleaning Time Finds

  Monday when I began cleaning up a literal storm I found a few things. Some clothes I forgot existed and some odds and ends hiding in various corners of boxes. It was kind of funny, but nice to find some things I realized I really missed and needed. Cross-Stitch was not just busybody work for…

• December

  The first week of Christmas has already disappeared. What happened? How is it that it’s Friday the 8th. The Christmas Program is over and tomorrow is Grandma’s Church Program. It just doesn’t seem possible for that to be the next item on the Christmas list. I do think they have moved it up a week…

• Thoughts of Peach Flowers

  These are all photos of one Rose. One of the roses pulled from Aunt Carol’s flowers above her casket. I love the color of this flower. Different angles and lighting give it some nuances in each photo. Like Aunt Carol did. I didn’t realize how similar we were. I did know she liked to cook…

• The Written Word

  This weekend was a bit crazy. Saturday morning though I began to do some fiddling on the Jewell’s of Thought Facebook page. Looking through some names of Authors and also local businesses.

• The Author After My Own Heart

  When I read a book I feel like I am transported instantly to the timeframe of the page I am reading. The first author I found who gave me such a sense of how complicated life and decision making can be was Sarah Sundin. I needed the cookie cutter ending well stories until my heart…

• The Hands of My Fathers

  Sunday Afternoons for the longest time would be in his living room. Grandma Doris and Uncle Bob; they would welcome this deluge of Bishop’s as we filled their entire room. Great-Grandpa Arlie as some called him or the newspaper would misspell his name as Arle; was an intriguing man. The Lord has blessed me over…
