We know summer has arrived in Phoenix when the temps pass 110°. Before the summer solstice. Fortunately, the high pressure system has passed for the time being. All that being said, the temps soared to 122°, June 26, 1990. I hope never to see those temps again. I had the worst migraine that day. The… Continue reading Hot Fun in the Summertime

I Get the Blues
I feel like I should apologize for being absent, but on the other hand, life's been a little awful, a bit complicated for a couple of months. To begin with, TJ brought home a puppy. He said she was his. (LOL) She is mostly his, but babies still need a lot of night-time care that… Continue reading I Get the Blues
Why is it so Easy
I write lyrics.. Why is it so Easy is a song/poem I wrote. If only I played an instrument, I could add my own music. I tried one of the AI music forums, but they cost too many $$$ for our budget. (sigh) This doesn't matter, I just thought I'd mention that I do this.… Continue reading Why is it so Easy
I Won’t Be Troubled
Good morning, March! Did you know March 1, is the meteorological date for Spring? This is the date the weathermen use. The rest of us are looking at March 20~. Pretty funny, right? Well, I started my blog with the title, I Won't Be Troubled, because we are into the bombing of Iran by two… Continue reading I Won’t Be Troubled
My Funny Valentine
I may have used this title before. That would have been a long, long time ago... But as my birthday is coming up, I felt like I wanted to use this one over, again. My father used to sing that song to me when I was quite young. He made me feel special whenever he… Continue reading My Funny Valentine
Who’ll Stop the Rain (CCR)
The weather in Phoenix is schizophrenic. We were experiencing high 40s in the mornings, then high 60's in the afternoon, then rain and clouds. Even some thunderstorms, but the weather wasn't cold. Ruby and I walked each day except one, rain or shine. There were two days of gray, gray, rain, rain, a bit of… Continue reading Who’ll Stop the Rain (CCR)
A Hazy Shade of Winter
Phoenix. The weather is schizophrenic here. One week, we're hot, the next we're cold. There's no rain for months, then the drips are here, day after day. Please don't misunderstand. I love rain. I wait all summer for the monsoons to blow in. Then I wait for the autumn, winter, and spring rains. I don't… Continue reading A Hazy Shade of Winter
Off the Normal Book Track
Every now and then... I am called to write something like this. God calls me. He really does. I don't know who will read this. I hope some of you will. Jonah (4 chapters in the Bible) By Elizabeth Ajamie-Boyer 12-5-2025 God told Jonah to go to Nineveh, a very horrible place… I imagine the… Continue reading Off the Normal Book Track
“Thankful n’ Thoughtful”
Two weeks until Thanksgiving (in the USA). I've been pondering, thinking, considering everything I have to be thankful for. Mostly, I'm thankful for Jesus Christ. He died on a cross as a sacrifice of redemption for our sins. For my sins. The concept is beyond grasping. Next I am thankful for my parents who, even… Continue reading “Thankful n’ Thoughtful”
Moving Forward (Free Chapel)
The New Year, 2026 is only ten weeks away. That's crazy talk, isn't it? When we were eighteen and nineteen years old in the 70's, we never even looked into the 2000's. They didn't exist, but now? Now we are twenty-five years in. (gasp) I love our life. We've been through the good, the bad,… Continue reading Moving Forward (Free Chapel)
Don’t Know Why There’s No Sun Up In the Sky…
Wowza! The southwest has been under the gun of the Pacific hurricanes! Two weeks ago, or was it three? We got pummeled here in Phoenix, receiving 5 inches of rain in our rain gauge. Now that being said, the rain was blowing horizontal, so there may have been much more than that. This week/weekend we've… Continue reading Don’t Know Why There’s No Sun Up In the Sky…
You Don’t Know Me! (by Ray Charles)
I imagine, you're like, what? Well, the truth be told, sometimes I don't know what to write about in my blogs. The same for my books. I have to push aside a manuscript for what seems like days to get new inspiration to move forward. However, today... my inspiration for this blog is our newest… Continue reading You Don’t Know Me! (by Ray Charles)
We Fall Down, We Get Up…
I'm going off course today. This isn't a travel blog, or a book blog. This blog is about us: TJ & me: I love football. This has only a little to do with my testimony, but this needs to be said. We are heading into football season. Go Cardinals! So... I love football. Although the… Continue reading We Fall Down, We Get Up…
Drifting Along Like a Tumbling Tumbleweed… Part 2
I left off the last blog by telling you (confessing) how whiny I was. Poor TJ. I have to admit, a lot of this was because I was tired. One night when rain was coming at us, I became afraid to close my eyes to sleep. I made a mistake and looked at the weather… Continue reading Drifting Along Like a Tumbling Tumbleweed… Part 2
