I read Fifty Not Frumpy too! She has a great sense of style! Very inspiring for this over-fifty-something! LOL Also…eventually I’ll start writing again, Julie. I’ll let you know when I do! Thanks for the encouragement! Oh, and by the way, I read Susan Branch as well. I SO wish I could draw like she does. And write, for that matter! My dad (a fairly prolific writer himself) likes to say that when you see someone’s art or read their writing and wish you had done it yourself, it’s a sign of good writing. Sounds subjective as opposed to OBjective, but I do find that the art or writing that I like the best strikes a chord in me that nothing else does. Anyhoo… didn’t mean to get so philosophical! Have a good night! 🙂

In reply to Kay in UK.

I was so happy to see your comment, Kay. I thought about you and Alan yesterday quite a bit…you’re never far from my heart and prayers. I can’t wait to check out the fiftynotfrumpy blog! Thank you! Hugs to you both, and get well very soon… xoxo

Susan Branch’s blog is so pretty!

I’ve also started reading ‘fiftynotfrumpy’ blog. This blog has helped me to work out which clothes look better on me! 🙂

Of course I always check in on my favourite blog … this one!

I’m so glad to hear that your writing course is going well. However, that doesn’t surprise me. 🙂

The weather is glorious here today. Beautiful blue skies with lots of sunshiny warmth. Alan & I have been resting in the back garden. We’re both suffering with a nasty, cold virus but it’s great that we can just sit back, relax and enjoy the sun.
May God bless you and yours

In reply to Mariah.

Mariah — this was extremely helpful to me about the phones! It helped me make my decision right away — I need to stick with my iPhone. Thank you! And I’m like you — when I read the little details of people’s lives, I enjoy getting lost in them. Two blogs I read that are written like this are Susan Branch’s blog — how transporting her posts are! And Big Mama — Melanie Shankle — she writes the everyday details of their lives, and even though I don’t know her, she makes it all interesting and funny. I would be a regular reader of your blog. 🙂 God bless your weekend, Mariah! xoxo

Lovely post! Inspires me to get back to writing my blog for some reason. I think because of the normality of your busy days…and that you share about them. It inspires me to write about the seemingly uninspired mundane events of mine. I love reading slices of other’s lives. Or maybe I’m jut nosy, but whatever! LOL iPhone vs. Droid. I’ve had both. My husband is a very tech-y guy and technology is what he does for a living when he isn’t busy pastoring churches. Which is all the time, actually, pastoring, so the tech stuff happens when he ought to be sleeping! It’s all good. Anyway!!! All this to say that he recommends iPhone for folks who aren’t technically minded and like to have their devices “talk” to each other. Makes transferring pictures or docs easier for example. Droid is a much more powerful tool but for someone like me, who doesn’t really “do” technology well, I don’t need the Droid. And I find that he’s right. I love the air drop feature with the apple devices, and I’ve had no issues at all with any of my apple stuff. (iPad, iPhone, Macbook Air). So…my take on it is this: if you are tech minded or want to learn to do very cool technical stuff, get the Droid. If you are happy just using your devices (assuming you have other apple devices) without fully understanding how or why, get the iPhone. Just my two cents worth…whatever it’s worth! Hope you had a lovely Mother’s Day!
