A writers life is about those who write words from their heart….
Words that tell our story…
words that share our emotions and our drama…
We can write words to the moon and back…
And this writer loves to capture interesting shots of life with her camera…
I strive for those pictures that tell the story without words…
it’s my way of sharing…
and describing what I hear…
and what I see or experience…
it’s a writer’s heart filled…
with the life I see…
Stay tuned….

Moments of sometimes…moments of life slipping by…moments where time stands still…moments of life…(written almost four weeks ago)
The last few days my mother in law has been fighting for her life…
We wait and hope….pray and know that God is watching over her.
We don’t know what tomorrow may bring…but we know that today, life is precious and Mom’s life means the world to our family…
Mom Holton not only became my mom in-law, she became my friend. She taught me how to make spaghetti sauce and how to cook calf fries! She was a special lady with a heart of gold…she was a walking life-book to me and I loved that!
We celebrated our 25th anniversary in Hawaii with my sister in law’s family and my in-laws. The last time Dad Holton was in Hawaii was a few days after Pearl Harbor was attacked.
We made special memories with Dad (he is on the right) on that trip, seeing Pearl Harbor through his eyes was bittersweet, as we listened to his recollections of what he saw and what he experienced…
Mom joined Dad Holton in heaven October 23, 2016 with a big celebration to welcome her home. God gave me an image of Dad reaching for Mom’s hand as she stepped into heaven and they began to dance to 40’s music! They loved to dance and I was told they knew how to cut a rug!
I have learned that time is fleeting…life is in the moment and if you miss that moment…I am sorry for you.
Time is much shorter than any of us realize whether you are young or old.
Death knows no age limits…life is precious as every second of time and every memory is eternal…don’t miss it!

Rainbows are dancing with gusto as “Old Man Winter” slowly waltz’s himself off to his snow cave for a very long nap!
Spring is coming…Spring is coming!
With incredible storms above…
And incredible rainbows stretching over my head as I snap happily away!
Now if I can just find that pot of gold hmm? Oh wait, I did…its living here:)
Wherever you are in this huge world, I hope that “Spring touches your heart with a new hope…while filling it with crazy joy!”
Yup, I’m over and out for now…but lucky you, I’ll be back!

“Sometimes you find yourself, in the middle of nowhere…
And sometimes in the middle of nowhere, you find yourself.”
I love this quote…as I know its true!
The middle of nowhere speaks to your heart with a reverent peace,
As God whispers softly to your soul with the beauty of His world all around you!
May you have a peaceful night and a peaceful tomorrow.
HRCG over and out!

Skies of glory was incredible to capture…I hope you enjoy the photos!
It all began Friday morning about 7:30 when the sky colors and odd clouds caught my eye…
I looked out while grabbing my camera!
No time for shoes…thankfully it was already 58 degrees!
The colors and clouds kept changing…it was calm here but there was turbulence above in the clouds…
The majestic light of Heaven was shining through the clouds with iridescent amber colors…
And the word “Glory” was on my mind…”Shekinah Glory.”
As the sun slowly climbed out of his bed…
He peeked out at my camera and beamed his bright golden rays of light, for a beautiful day!
May you have a “Glorious” Weekend Wherever You May Be!
“I miss you much my sweet kitty angel girl!”

Just plain weird…it’s that time of year that makes you crazy as our timing is off!
Darkness at 4:00 in the afternoon…nah, that’s just plain weird!
By now we would have had a hint of winter…but this year is just WEIRD!
And Tucker would agree…it was 70 degrees here today…weird huh?
I mowed the yard today…in a t-shirt with no coat! I have to say it, weird…weird…weird!
A frosty November morning with a beautiful sunrise and then the temps rose to 65 degrees by noon…just plain weird!
My flowers are happy and yet blooming…
And growing into November…that’s just plain weird!
My dog grazing with my horse…what?
HRCG and her just plain weird bunch here is off for the moment…
But lucky you…we’ll be back!

Golden Carmel Colors Of Fall…Fall Softly On The Land…
As the early dawn light slowly creeps through my window,
Waking me with a soft amber glow…
God is painting the day for me:) Incredibly beautiful!
The surreal light lasts throughout my day…as do the colors of fall.
With the days being shorter…time passes blink fast!
Night moves begins…full of swoopy clouds with golden colors fading into blues, pinks, oranges…and a beautiful sunset!
And as the world turns…
The sun yawns and goes to bed…
And as we follow the sun…we too yawn and decide Mr. Sun has a good idea:)
With that said…HRCG along with Wild Bill, Ellie and Tucker in the background are over and out!
Have a blessed weekend wherever you are!
