Welcome to Bright Tuesday!
I started this blog to share my thoughts about my life, my hobbies, my perspectives on God and His love for us, and whatever else comes to mind. I love to write and hope that you’ll always find something engaging to read and think about when you visit here.
I have been happily married for 18 years to my husband Brian. I’m the proud mother of three children, ages 11, 16, and 25. I taught elementary school for 9 years, and I worked as a case manager for at-risk families for 6 years after that. I am currently busy as a stay-at-home wife and mother. My husband became an ordained minister in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA) in 2012, and so I have been adjusting to the ins and outs of my new role as a “pastor’s wife” since then.
I enjoy all things crafty, but my favorite hobby is crocheting. Much of my time is spent writing and reading, and daydreaming. I consume copious amounts of coffee daily, and can almost always find a reason to laugh.
I wanted to let you know that I love your blog. Really makes my day! Have a good one.

Thanks a lot! I have done the Liebster award before (twice, actually), so I won’t be taking part again. I will give you a shout out on my blog soon, though — I have really enjoyed your short stories!

Hello newest Spikey! I know, a bit corny, eh, but that’s the term that has come to stick for those folk who are part of the clan known to be followers of Uncle Spike 🙂
Thank you… I really appreciate that as I for one, know how many interesting and entertaining blogs are out there.
My aim is to deliver an eclectic offering of posts, from my ‘point n shoot’ attempts at basic photography, to the sharing of my travel adventures over the decades, as well as day to day happenings here on the farm. Oh, plus a few observations on life as I see it, thrown in for good measure.
My promise to you is not to be overbearing, just a couple of posts a day, maybe 3 at weekends if I have something special to share. But if you are at a loose end one day, maybe you’ll enjoy trawling through some of my older stuff too. I have added plenty of categories to help in said digging process.
Thanks again and hope you have a great day…
