The Drive to Seward











I have been to Seward many times but never in the winter. The drive is glorious in the Summer.

"Reba"




This has got
to be the funniest sitcom ever. Reba and Barbara Jean are absolutely hilarious. The other members of the cast, Brock, Cheyenne, Kyra, Jake and Van are also terrific. I have seen every episode at least two if not three times and I still laugh at the shows.




Reba's Theme Song for the Show

"I am a Survivor"

Performed By: "Reba McEntire

My roots are planted in the past
Though my life is changing fast
Who I am is who I want to be

A single mom who works too hard
Who loves her kids and never stops
With gentle hands and the heart of a fighter

I'm a survivor.

A Salute to "Modern Marvels"




I love this show.
Its always interesting, informative and I learn so much about the world.

Starlit Night


When we are alone on a starlit night, when by chance we see the migrating birds in autumn descending on a grove of junipers to rest and eat; when we see children in a moment when they are really children, when we know love in our own hearts; or when, like the Japanese poet, Basho, we hear an old frog land in a quiet pond with a solitary splash - at such times the awakening, the turning inside out of all values, the "newness," the emptiness and the purity of vision that make themselves evident, all these provide a glimpse of the cosmic dance.

Macaroni & Cheese

This was my favorite dish as a child and is still my favorite. It is my grandchildren's favorite and I can bet it will be when they are adults. Mmmmm...good!
