I awoke this morning to our first winter storm. I just knew we’d get snow before Christmas. As it’s looking, now, we’ll likely even have a white Christmas, which will be lovely. Kelee and I headed out to the Llano, in the snow, to visit the horses again (what a difference a few days make, […]
Patience in the Beauty of Life's Unfolding
I have no idea if it’s still like this or whether you had the same experience, but back when I was in high school in the 60’s, by junior year, we were supposed to decide what we wanted to do for our careers, for the rest of our lives! I was 15 when that question […]
