A Great Quote from One of My Favorite Authors


“I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.”

-Agatha Christie

(Special thanks to Peggy for passing this excellent quote along to me!)

Take a look at the beautiful flower pictures on Peggy’s website!


My cousin, Peggy, has posted some really gorgeous flower pictures on her website, PeggyGates.com. I love them. They are a feast for the eyes when it is gray and dim outside! It reminds me that beauty can be found in the rainstorm… if you have the right perspective. I love spring!

Time to grow up (or get a smaller chair)!


I thought it would be fun to share this fun photo taken of me in a giant chair at St. Louis Family Church. Fun, ehh? Brett would love to have it. It would look good next to the R2D2 giant plastic mold and the 3 Stooges statues.

I take back that spring comment - snow in March?!


I guess I spoke too soon! We had snow last night, but luckily I covered my flowers and they survived.

I saw one of the coolest visuals ever last night in the snow. Brett and I were driving home from my dad’s house after midnight. The snowflakes were clumped together. It was snowing steadily.

Suddenly, it looked like a familar scene from a science fiction movie. We were going warp speed. The snowflakes looked like stars coming at us at a downward curve. We flew into the vortex.

I was mesmerized. I half expected to hear the voices of our favorite characters from Red Dwarf. It looked we traveling into the snowflakes; it was so cool.

It was only later that it dawned on me that I should have taken a video of it. Sometimes I am so captivated by a moment that I only photograph it with my eyes.

Spring is here!


Sonia on Valentines Day

I am so glad to feel the sunshine on my face and the warm breeze through my hair. There’s an optimism to spring that overpowers me with a smile and peaceful thoughts.

I love to walk around outside and see the small green shoots of flowers appearing out of the ground. Some days they seem to grow inches… and I thank God for life that is all around us.
