2015

Friend Grace, proprietor of Dragon's Alley, suggested that I might ask the readers to specify their choices of posts from STSTT.  She then gave the project a kick-start by picking a couple of her favorites from last January.  Since they are so appropriate to this very day, I am copying them here, so you needn't even click to view them!

The first, from January 1, 2014:

"What are your New Year resolutions?" asked Beloved Beautiful .



"I'm not making any this year," I replied.



Silence. No response. Nothing. Nada. Nil. Zip. I turned a bit to look toward her. She wore a quizzical, nay, even puzzled look on her face. "What?" I said.



"Nothing," she replied. "I'm just trying to grasp the concept of being satisfied with that level of performance."

 



Happy New Year, Everyone!

Grace's second choice was from January 26. It is entitled "Wind Carving on Concrete":

Happy 2015, Grace, and also to all who read this!

Anyone else have any favorites from 2014?

I Love It!

About two and a half years ago I participated in a meme that Chuck sent my way.  I passed it on to several blogger friends.  It came back around yesterday when Bob and Jan of Little Green Truck fame mentioned it on their facebook page.  They reposted their ten loves.  It seemed appropriate at the beginning of a new year to review the things I claim to love.  I went back to the old post and copied it over here.  I had to tweak the age, but otherwise, it is still the same!

Ten Things I Love

1. I love the Lord Jesus Christ who is my savior.

2. I love my wife whom you have met as "BBBH".

3. I love my family which has become so large and so widely extended that it is a challenge as I age to remember all their names. 

4. I love being 78 years old. It's sort of a testimony to perseverance  Next up, 79! and who knows how far one can go from there!

5. I love the community in which we live. It is not "Perfect" in spite of the fact that I have referred to it in that way on the blog; but it is the best place in which I've ever lived, and that's saying something.

6. For the most part, I love blogging, both writing my own and reading others. I have tried to quit, really I have; but BBBH says I'm addicted. There are worse addictions.

7. I love political cartoons and comic strips and their creators. I don't read them all, just half-dozen of the former and dozen of the latter. I love to laugh; and laughing at the nonsense of politicians and the foibles of our fellow-man keeps us from going nuts.

8. I love Coffee.

9. I love Texas. Admittedly I have never been there between May and September. But, subtext 9a. I love the ocean and 9b. I love the desert. Texas has plenty of both.

10. I love living green things. This was my answer to the question, "Why did you ever choose to move to Indiana?"

What do you love?
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
