Orchids and Laundry: February Thoughts
http://orchidsandlaundry.blogspot.com/2013/02/february-thoughts.html
Finding orchids in the laundry. Friday, February 15, 2013. The piles of snow are melting, making funky patterns on my deck. And making my mind want to dare to think of Spring. Which, if you live in the Inland Northwest, is a very pointless exercise! But I can always hope! Valentine tulips make me smile. The circle of life goes on and in February one tends to think about it more. Nature hangs waiting, seemingly dead and still, for the warmth of life in the Spring breezes.

Finding orchids in the laundry. Saturday, May 11, 2013. Mother's Day.mixed emotions.that I really don't know the words for, or even know for sure if I want to put into words. .cause , you know, putting something into words makes it more real somehow.and I realize that I have been trying to not make it real. It is a funny thing to be a grownup and to know that life has cycles and change and inevitables and that being "grownup" you know that is .just life.deal with it. So my personality is -deal with it.

Finding orchids in the laundry. Wednesday, March 21, 2012. Special" Date Night :). Yesterday afternoon when my husband and I returned home from town, our 13 yrld daughter said she and her two younger siblings wanted to make and serve supper for us. As she worked in the kitchen, her younger siblings whispered down the hall. At the "appointed time" she told us all was ready and we should wait at the top of the stairway to the basement. The kitchen overhead was full of hurried footsteps and quiet voices....

Finding orchids in the laundry. Monday, February 27, 2012. A Little Child.Big questions. His little voice was teary and very serious. He had some very hard questions for Daddy. At the first hesitant words, Daddy stopped what he was doing at the desk and took him on his lap. He is almost getting too big. His legs dangle on the ground. He is 9. Dad, how do you know if you want to be a Christian for the right reason? Paraphrased something like this, "I don't really. Questions.questions that a lot of us ...

Orchids and Laundry: June 2012
http://orchidsandlaundry.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Finding orchids in the laundry. Friday, June 15, 2012. Women are known as the homemakers and I think rightly so, but what about all the "home making" that the dad's do? I thought of that as I was thinking of the normal "mom post' and Father's day. Home would not be home, Mom would not have a home to make a home ,truly a home, without Dad. I know , of course, there are instances when one spouse has to carry on alone but home in God's plan is Mom and Dad. I was thinking of the two father's in my life.

http://orchidsandlaundry.blogspot.com/2015/05/are-you-feminist.html

More and more , I see, hear and read of it's symptoms and manifestations. It is feminism in it's new ,ungodly form. Consider how often you hear a variation of the thinking; "I need my space", "I need to be who I am", I need to go after my dreams", " I know I may need to change but I need to change for myself, not someone else". Is there a purp...
