A dog says “woof.” Cats meow, horses neigh, cows go “Mooooo,” sheep say “Baaaaaaa,” and chicks peep-peep-peep. Every animal around the world, from living room to jungle, has something different to say. As you’ll see in the new book “Quiet” by Tomie dePaola, though, sometimes it’s best not to say anything at all. Zoom. ZoomZoomZoom.
Two weekends ago, we were at this really nice neighborhood picnic. Not in our neighborhood, but kinda. I say this because when you live in the country, a few miles isn’t all that far. Everyone knows everyone out here. You mow grass; you wave to cars passing by. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know

It was last Thursday, and my phone rang mid-morning as usual. It was my regular call from my momma doing her daily check-in. There is usually not a day that goes by that we don’t touch base with each other. Must be a mother/daughter thing. Just asking each other how our night went the day

If you are a fan of “Downton Abbey,” you may have seen the movie that picked up where the show left off out in theaters here recently. Having two small children, I may never go to the movies again, but I have started re-watching the PBS series in the midst of all the movie buzz.
There is a lot of fire in the Bible: Moses and the burning bush; Elijah and the Prophets of Baal; Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego; and my all-time favorite – Jesus cooking a shore breakfast for His disciples over a fire in John 21. When I’m camping or backpacking, I very much enjoy a campfire. I
