My youngest Step-daughter, “Floss” is getting married in two-and-a-half weeks. The good news is that I already have my dress. It arrived last week. I’m looking forward to the wedding because all of the children and grandchildren will be there. I am praying for a family photo with all members on board! That’s 27–yes–twenty-seven–people …
All has been quite on the blogging front here at A Reed Not Broken. Not for want of things to write about. I guess it’s a testimony of a lack of discipline and determination—that and a newly developed addition to match-three games. Kittie Many wonderful things has been happening since my last …
Okay, so I guess you could say I was getting ahead of myself. If you read my last post, you will notice I wrote that it was 30 years ago that I came to England for the first time. Well, I was thinking: “Saturday, 17th September 1983…2013…thirty years.” I had a brain burp at that …
Misty Morning view from the balcony As usual, my alarm went off at 7:00 am today. As I walked to the kitchen, I caught the view out The Maverick’s office window. A mist was rising from the damp grass in the park across the street. I hurried to get my camera, as I knew the …
The Alter in Romsey Abbey The sun blessed our day. I joined a group (0f 36) ladies from the Mothers’ Union on a day trip to Romsey Abbey. The coach trip allowed me to become better acquainted with Mrs. C.B., with whom I attend church. Romsey Abbey is located in Southern England, in …

The Moravians have been on my mind recently after attending a presentation at St. Francis Church on Monday, 13th August. (I …
First of all, Happy September. Now, onto the news! It’s here! What’s here? Our new washing machine. Yippee! Outwardly I haven’t seen overly excited. But truly I am pleased. Since it was ordered on 27th July, we’ve been waiting patiently for the delivery of our Bosch washer. We were told it would be a …
Ten days ago, on Saturday, 4th August, I joined the group from Langley Parish on a trip to Portsmouth. The Christ the Worker congregation organised the hiring of a coach/bus for the trip. Being unsure of how long I would need to walk to the church, I left home about 7:50 am—to make sure I …
Just a note: in the “No Cooking Tonight” post, I wrote that Alice was from Shang Hi. I need to make two corrections. 1) Shang Hi was incorrectly spelled. Thank you Alan N. for bringing this to my attention. The correct spelling is Shanghai. 2) Alice is not from Shanghai, but rather Beijing. As a …
My alarm went off at 7:00 am. I wasn’t deep into a dream, yet it always takes a few minutes for the fog of sleep to thin sufficiently for me to get up. In bare feet I padded into the kitchen to take my morning medicines. Looking out the kitchen window, seeing the sun and …
