My Heart Voice

I thought for a change, I would try poetry.  Please don’t be too hard on me, but do let me know what you think: Dragon Days By: Vicki Koch (AKA: Lilysgramma) I used to chase the rainbows I often wished on stars, My mother called me foolish And said I’d not go far. But still [...]

A few posts ago, I wrote about seeking my creativity. Well, I am on my journey and want to share some of the things I have found along the way. I have been dabbling in beading-rather, stringing beads and making earrings-for a year or so.  My new passion though is chain maille and bead weaving.  [...]

I would like to take a moment to wish all you mom’s and mom’s to be a VERY HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!  May your day be wonderful and may your children appreciate you and show you that appreciation not only today, but every day!  Love, peace and happiness to you all

It is 1:30 in the morning and here I am at my computer.  I’ve watched a few “how to…” videos and re read some mail and just surfed around a bit.  My mind is restless. The body is tired, but the mind won’t let go of things.  I don’t know why, I suppose it’s my [...]

April 15th was a sad day for us.  No, not just because it was tax day, but because, somehow, unknown to us, our sweet indoor kitty, Joey, got out and seemingly, disappeared. I walked around our neighborhood several times a day for the next few days. I knocked on doors showing a picture and I [...]

For some unknown reason, I woke up in a very bad mood! I’m not talking about a little bit of a grumpy mood, but a VERY bad one!  Hubby is off work tonight so we usually run around doing errands like grocery shopping, going to the laundry mat, paying bills and maybe grabbing a bite [...]

It’s funny how I get ideas on what to blog on in the middle of the night AFTER I have taken my sleeping meds, so here I am babbling away at you.. Oh well, if it’s boring or doesn’t make sense, tell me in a comment and I’ll edit it down. LOL!  So, getting to [...]

I have been searching for a job for more than two years now.  In the past, it was no problem for me to find work somewhere, I have the necessary skills and a head full of confidence,  but now it’s different.  There are many contributing factors at work here, number one being the economy.  The [...]

It’s been a week now since my daughter and granddaughter went back home. I miss them. It was a wonderful visit!  We couldn’t really do anything fun because of the money situation, but it’s surprising how much we enjoyed just being together.  I really appreciate that my ex husband brought them up here to Oregon [...]

I’m so excited!  My daughter and granddaughter are coming for a visit!  I moved to Oregon from California about a month ago and haven’t seen them since I left and I can’t believe how much I miss them!  I know that many grandparents go much longer between visits with their kids and grandkids, but consider [...]
