bye and bye, grandpa...

December 3, 1924 - September 8, 2013

My grandpa Floyd went to be with Jesus this afternoon. Surrounded by 3 of his children, 2 of his grandchildren, and a son and daughter-in-law.

What a strange thing it is, to watch someone take their last shuddering breath in this world...

Oh Colleenie, I knew he had been sick. I am so sorry for your family's loss. Almost 89 years old, wow!

30 years a wonderer. 26 years an artist. on and off a traveler, always a procrastinator. imperfect and grateful Christian. and a wife since good old 2012!

i adore storm clouds, raspberries, pressed flowers, drinking craft brews with the husbandman, quiet time, sour candy, taking pictures, gardenias, looking at the ocean (and not being in it), books, coffee shops, florence, gardening, dogs, drawing faces, the Inklings, my little nephew-cousins, singing, and rain.

i journal privately most often, but people consistently tell me they like when i post on my blog, so i (try to) write about things that stir my heart and mind, make life happy and hard, that can encourage people, inspire them to think or pray, or sometimes just smile.

i like it best when people smile.
