Say What?

Say What:

My daffodil flowers have stayed strong and beautiful through being frozen solid and an 8-inch snow.  A good lesson on spitting in the eye of adversity!


There's a difference between (1) ineptitude (2) differing opinions and (3) evil.  The ability to differentiate takes maturity. 


Does patience involve not complaining?  Asking for a friend. . . 


We are taught "problem solving" our entire school years.  Those that failed are elected to congress.  Those that fail at being elected work in media.  And thank goodness for exceptions!  


When driving by a plowed field, do you ever want to stop and take a hand full of that black soil and say a word of "Thanks!"?


Have you ever noticed that the people who are doing nothing are the ones criticizing those who are doing something?


"You don't have to be amazing for God to do something amazing through you."  Joyce Meyer 

What a surprise it must be for some politicians to realize they are now expected to actually think and work for the greater good of the voters.



Seeing the fields around my house planted gives me a sense of peace and good will.  

Where is the marker between government protection and government overreach?  Where is the marker between government financial support and crippling dependency?  Very fine lines.


Is it modern to stop using complete words, good grammar and punctuation - or - is it just lazy?


LasVegas is a gambling town, anyone want to bet on the future of their current mayor?

Stimulus checks, grants and no pay back loans are help in a disaster not the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. 


At the 75 anniversary of the death of Ernie Pyle, I celebrate what true journalism can be and mourn what has been lost.


I can't imagine living someplace where spring isn't as dramatic as the Midwest; the excitement of 60 degrees, a bud opening, a bee buzzing.


We pride ourselves, as U.S. citizens, for being tolerant of other opinions besides our own, yet there are those that want to destroy the right to worship.  I ask, "What are you so afraid of?"


Quarantine meals mean getting all the right nutrients:  ice cream, banana, honey roasted peanuts and strawberry topping.  I think I have it covered!

All the people who searched so hard to find the right color paint, perfect furniture, special decor, copy every HGTV trend are now talking how awful it is to be "stuck" at that home.

Had my father been alive during this pandemic, he would have said at least once a day, "I told you so". 

Remember when we saw rain as life giving and a necessity for the world to regenerate and not the prelude of massive flooding in shore cities?


You know people have been under stress when there's a tornado warning and the reaction is "yea, yea I'm busy painting happiness rocks."

The new competition:  "My mask is better than your mask!"

The other new competition:  "Posting pictures of how you're suffering in home".  No folks, those really suffering don't have a camera phone nor access to a medium to post.

And with that - you say what!   

Side Note:  I apologize for the wonky colors and fonts - sometimes this blog app has a mind of it's own.
