  She openeth her mouth....

Giving the Lord magnificent praise is never out of season.

This is the road from our house to the highway--looks like a good shot of "the road less traveled" doesn't it?

But if you back it up a bit, you see why it's "not traveled"--for today at least!

Somewhere under here is our little bridge

At least it's a change from the drought of last two years. Kind of makes me wish I was...

Until next time...

Just for Fun--States I've Visited

• Who can find a virtuous woman? her price is far above rubies

I like to travel and see new things--other parts of the country that are often so different from the piney woods of Louisiana where I was born and raised and have lived most of my life. I was privileged to move around with my husband's job a little after our son graduated from high school, and so had the opportunity to live, at least temporarily, in some areas that were unusual for me (like Alaska) and some that were very similar to what I was used to (like Georgia). I found this fun map you can make by clicking on the names of the states you've lived in or visited or at least driven through, and was shocked to see how way Southern it turned out. I think my next road trip needs to head north east!

Click on the link and see what kind of map you can make, just for fun!

Until next time...

The UN-virtuous Woman

• Who can find a virtuous woman?

Hello? Anybody out there? Any Proverbs 31 wannabes left? I think the Virtuous Woman has left the building. At least, she ain't at my house any more.

You ever feel that way?

There used to be a funny cartoon that stated "the hurrier I go, the behinder I get". Lately, I'm so behinder, it isn't even funny anymore.

I found an old organizer of mine a while back. I was amazed--A-MAZE-D--at how much I used to do. So very involved in so much. And so ambitious to do more--to be more.

And I know I'm older now, and fatter, and have less energy--blobbity blobbity blah blah--but I just haven't been cuttin' it lately.

My house is a wreck--both of them. Not that the second one is that bad, but that's only because it's practically empty--just a minimum of stuff, but I have a tendency on my trips back and forth to just dump stuff with the promise that "I'll have time to take care of that next time". And sometimes I do have the time next time, but I don't always take the time.

Awhile back, my son told me that he thought we were about to be going through a time of testing. Like on a personal basis. And we have been. Nothing major, just little things. Lots and lots of little things. And medium things, too. No biggies, thankfully. Just seems like lots of lots of small and medium things.

And I've been wanting and meaning to get back into my blogging--I enjoyed it so much when I was posting regularly. But then the days and weeks stretch out, and you've been silent for so long, you feel like you can't just pick back up and start again. Not to mention when your blog is called "The Virtuous Woman" and you haven't been feeling or behaving very virtuously.

But I am.

Starting back again.

So--any other UN-virtuous women trying your best to Get It All Together out there?

Who can find a virtuous woman?

We'll just have to wait and see.

Again.

Until next time...
