Mine (the Baby Boomers) is the first generation of Americans to grow up with Disney. We went to the theater to watch Fantasia, Cinderella, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and all the other iconic Disney animated movies. We sat eagerly in front of our TVs and watched the Mickey Mouse Club. We begged our …
This past weekend, my husband and I took a stroll in the Narbeck Wetland Sanctuary, a little oasis of nature directly across a busy street from the huge factory where he used to work. We came upon a tree that had fallen over completely, its base and roots perpendicular to the ground. In the lower …
These days, I live in a suburb. The closest big city is Seattle, 20 miles south of our home in Everett (where the airplanes are made). I was born and raised in Seattle in the 1950's and 1960's, and lived there from the mid-1970's until 1990. I do not recognize the Seattle of my childhood …
I have a bit of a problem with today's topic. It sounds to me a bit like "earth worship". I have always appreciated how God put us on the most beautiful planet known in the Universe. I appreciate how wonderful our planet is, and the fact that we humans are at the top of the …
I have a coworker who is at least as much of a cat lover as I am, possibly more. Everything she has, from her lunch bag, to her mouse-pad, to her desktop drinking cup, has a cat pattern. Here are two of her carry-bags she has at work. Cute, aren't they? That's all, folks!

For much of the past yer, I have been plagued with skin-splits on both my thumbs. I tried everything to get them to heal, but they'd just open up again. While shopping one day, I found the miracle cream that has totally healed my skin splits, and prevented them from coming back. May I heartily …
I am just getting used to black and white again, trying to see my color photos that way. There are some scenes that just cry out to be black and white. Like these clouds. I took this photo through the windshield of our car on the highway. Here in the rainy Pacific Northwest, it's often …

Have you ever noticed that Nature's God abhors straight lines? Just look around you at Nature, and you will see that there are no straight lines in nature. Everything in the natural world is curved. Straight lines belong to items of human manufacture. When explorers and archaeologists are searching for signs of human habitation, from …
Have you ever heard of the Ranken-Jordan Pediatric Bridge Hospital? Neither had I, until they started paying for full-page ads in the print version of the Wall Street Journal. And they are massively wasting their ad spend in the WSJ, which must be a LOT of money! There are so many mistakes and missing elements …
