Happy day to you! And if not, the same to you as well. May you have beans on your toast and an evangelical wren in your tree, a hat for your scalp and the truest of smiles in your eye. May your music have fiddles and each meal a cup lifted with our Christ. Sharing photos has become difficult with the slowness of iPhoto on this old computer. A new one is in sight, but it might still be a while before funds make it .

Never, Never, Never Stop Dancing! April 1, 2010. Please click on the link above for the current I Take Joy blog. I am setting up shop in a new blogging home with a lovely new design that I love. So come on over and be sure to reset your bookmarks for I Take Joy. Give the gift of giving gifts! Though my father was a man of character and generous in many ways, as a depression child.

I love this old blog and it will stay here forever. I might even occasionally post old things from it. But it was time to move on and expand and create with more design intricacy, and, well. Come over, reset your bookmarks and continue the lovely conversation over at the new diggs.

Sunday, November 22, 2009. Okay, maybe I did fall off the face of the earth for a while. Working with teenagers is just plain crazy. Those are great stories too and are nice to pull out when a little self-pep talk is needed, but. Saturday, June 14, 2008.

Photos, music, and musings. Waves roll against the shore. Echo in the backwaters of my mind. Fading now into the drone of cars. The smell of brine in the air. Pushed aside by drifting coffee from the breakroom. A gentle sunset on the sound. Bleeds into fluorescent glare and insistent monitor glow. Too long has the heart been from home. After Technicolor sights of dream come to life.
