While I was in Scotland recently I came across this little lame lamb trying to keep up with its mother. He kept bleating as if telling her to wait for him. Something was wrong with its leg and he could only go for short stretches, limping all the way. I felt so sorry for him. I wanted to rescue him but lambs …
Memorable moments…
Rolled into St. Lou about ten o’clock Saturday night and enjoyed a steamy 97 degrees… One of the best things about these book events is dressing up and being girly…! Right across the street was the conference center where the International Christian Retail Show was held… Meals and desserts are always such a treat…and Starbucks was right in the lobby… …
St. Lou
I’m packing for St. Louis this week to attend the International Christian Retail Show and the Christy Awards. St. Lou is a such an interesting, historic city. I was there a couple of years ago for a book event and especially enjoyed the museum beneath the arch and the wonderful dinner I had at Ruth’s Chris steakhouse/restaurant among other things. …

Remember
Roses ~ Granada, Spain ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ REMEMBER THAT YOU LIVE IN a fallen world: an abnormal world tainted by sin. Much frustration and failure result from your seeking perfection in this life. There is nothing perfect in this world except Me. That is why closeness to Me satisfies deep yearnings and fills you with joy. I have planted longing for perfection …
The Georgian House, Charlotte Square

Located in Charlotte Square, the premiere place to live in New Town Edinburgh in the 18th-century/Georgian era, it’s been meticulously restored and opened to the …
Great Scot!
Some of you have asked me to post pics of my recent trip. Since I spent most of May in Scotland I’ll start there and save Spain for another post. I took over 1600 photos so will try to share a few highlights here. After a 13 hour flight from Seattle, I arrived in rainy Glasgow and took Scotrail north. The train …
Epic
I’m home again – my luggage was lost but finally caught up with me Saturday – and now I’m trying to catch up! So thankful for your thoughts and prayers as I traveled. I seem to have brought a bit of the Spanish flu back with me (doesn’t every vacation have one little glitch?!) so will close comments here till that is …
The edge of the world
I want to wave you farewell till June as I’m leaving for Scotland again soon. Once in Glasgow I’ll take a train into the Highlands then ferry over to the Hebrides and stay here in the islands. Scotland in May is a marvelous thing:) There are only a few hours of darkness and everything is so vividly green. For centuries the Hebrides have been …
