Caught in the Net 2/4/2024

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I attempted to use the same method for topic ideas that I used last week. It seems that my daughter and I are similar enough that her suggestions were ones I had already employed.  We’ll chalk that up to great minds thinking alike or something of the sort.  So, since her ideaContinue reading “Caught in the Net 2/4/2024”

The Slightest Bit of Resolve 12/31/2023

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt My house looks very stark to me. It is strange how once the Christmas décor comes down it is as though I am living in a foreign place.  Everything is so bare and understated.  It’s comfortable enough I suppose. I don’t particularly dislike anything I’m looking at.  But after having had everyContinue reading “The Slightest Bit of Resolve 12/31/2023”

The Legacy Continues 12/10/2023

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt They were calling it The Great War.  I am not sure how it got this moniker. I am not quite close enough to the action to have heard the backstory though acquiring such information is still a goal. On the day I began writing this, every mind in my small townContinue reading “The Legacy Continues 12/10/2023”

International Enchantment 12/3/2023

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt A fascinating thing happened last week.  If you read my last blog, I told you of an international guest that was coming to my home over the holiday period. Well, that all happened and went exceptionally well. There was a somewhat unexpected something that happened during all that excited chaos, however. Continue reading “International Enchantment 12/3/2023”

Very Traditionally Speaking 11/26/2023

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I will go ahead and confess to you now that I am writing this a week early.  So, I am typing here the week before the week of Thanksgiving because, well, quite frankly, my week of Thanksgiving is going to be very, very busy.  I don’t really foresee me having anyContinue reading “Very Traditionally Speaking 11/26/2023”

Eyes on the Past 3/12/2023

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I asked my daughter what I should write about this week.  Her very humble suggestion was for me to write about her.  I am not totally opposed to this.  I questioned her further about what specifically I should write about and she said I should just tell about her day atContinue reading “Eyes on the Past 3/12/2023”

Thank Heaven for Small Mercies 11/27/2022

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt At the time this publishes I will have not long finished the holiday of Thanksgiving and I know I am speaking for myself here, but I daresay that others would agree with me I think I take this holiday for granted.  I do like it, I really do but with theContinue reading “Thank Heaven for Small Mercies 11/27/2022”

Wonderful, but Weird 9/4/2022

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt We all have our certain little somethings that just make us who we are. Now, I am not talking about those really vast dimensions of character like the things about which we are passionate or the things that have left deep scars on our psyches. No, those are far beyond theContinue reading “Wonderful, but Weird 9/4/2022”

A Grief Observed 6/26/2022

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I will go ahead and apologize now.  The subject matter today might be somber, but it will certainly be relatable.  I suppose the more difficult aspects of life are.  I am currently in the middle of some of those more difficult yet unavoidable moments in time.  I have decided that theseContinue reading “A Grief Observed 6/26/2022”

When All Is Said and Done 12/27/2020

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt She always hated when it was over.  Perhaps hate was too strong of a word.  If she were being accurate there were probably a paragraph’s worth of words that she could use to describe the awkward time when the Christmas Day festivities were over.  Maybe she didn’t truly hate it sheContinue reading “When All Is Said and Done 12/27/2020”

Branches and Roots 11/29/2020

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I feel like I may have taken on a topic in this blog that is significantly over my head.  Not that I don’t think I can write about it, I just think that despite my innate ability to fling unnecessarily large amounts of words at a subject matter, I don’t knowContinue reading “Branches and Roots 11/29/2020”
