A Sunday Dinner

Posted on September 11, 2016 by Marcia Ren

  There’s something very soulful about a Sunday dinner. For me it means taking time to be grateful for all the simple pleasures in my life. It begins with deciding what I’ll be preparing, and then carefully shopping for the items that are necessary. I have to tell you that during today’s church service my thoughts wandered a few times to a dinner menu. Or perhaps I was actually really listening as I heard the parable about the Prodical Son returning home and what I might prepare for a delicious meal. (wink) Hope your enjoying a bit of soulfulness this … Read the full blog post →

Posted on September 11, 2016 by Marcia Ren

         Hi! How’s your weekend going? I’ve been taking notes about mine. Here’s a brief update. I knew on Saturday that I was headed for a great weekend when during an early morning walk I met a lovely family & their adorable children having fun.   Then after my walk when I returned home I caught the parade of the Cranberry Festival. Other events of the weekend included a lovely visit with a friend and attending a salmon festival. Oh, and I also went to see the movie Sully.

What I Wear

Posted on September 8, 2016 by Marcia Ren

  I’ll be the first to admit that old  habits are hard to break. And, as a former teacher I am soooo programmed  to hitting up the Back~To~School sales! I see those early August ads, and I still get all charged up for a new school year. Here’s a great little sale I recently found. I purchased it at Marshall’s in Roseburg, Oregon. Which btw feels like a HUGE city to me now! Anyway the dress tunic was marked down from $60.00 to $15.00. I can wear it as a dress, tunic, or under a sweater with jeans and boots.

I just recently heard that it is also the least traveled holiday. No worries there is still time for a little getaway. Here’s a perfect spot. Come let’s have a chat. I’ve been working on this room.   I needed a change. Soooo…I moved the furniture around and added a few pops of color. A little bit of change was an all day venture this … Read the full blog post →
