20130521 – Sitting and Running

Tuesdays With Terry Posted on May 21, 2013 by Pondering PopsApril 23, 2014

Well, here I am, sitting in the customers’ waiting area while my truck, car, SUV, or whatever I’m supposed to call it, let’s call it my “vehicle”, is being serviced. Replacing a power door lock actuator and mounting an old tire on a new rim apparently involves two visits; one to diagnose the problem and order parts, and the second … Continue reading →

20130514 – Happiness and Strawberries

Tuesdays With Terry Posted on May 14, 2013 by Pondering PopsApril 23, 2014

More life in the moment … Yesterday I read a little post titled “Sunday Sermon” by fellow blogger Bob, and it struck me as if it were a common theme I’ve been hearing for weeks. Oh; it is. He talked about getting past our sense of not being happy today because we’re thinking about the future and what we want, … Continue reading →

20130423-2 – On the Same Bus, or Just the Same Road

Tuesdays With Terry Posted on May 14, 2013 by Pondering PopsApril 23, 2014

Living in the sandwich can be frustrating. You begin thinking about changes you want to make in your life and start getting excited about them. Then by habit, or necessity I suppose, you begin considering how changing part of the sandwich will affect the rest. If I change the protein, what about the cheese, what about the condiments, what about … Continue reading →

20130507 – What Makes You Smile?

Tuesdays With Terry Posted on May 7, 2013 by Pondering PopsApril 23, 2014

I was out for my (becoming routine) two mile walk yesterday morning when I realized the sun on my face was making me smile. Then I greeted some other walkers and found myself smiling again; and it got me to thinking about what it is that I find myself smiling at. Here’s the short list (with a little thought it … Continue reading →

20130430 – Pondering …

Tuesdays With Terry Posted on April 30, 2013 by Pondering PopsApril 23, 2014

It’s a rather moody day weather wise. Heavy thundershowers awakened us early this morning. Then for a while I lay in bed and listened as the rain softly echoed around the house. It stopped by the time I took S to work, and we were struck by how high the river was yet, and how many sandbags were still in … Continue reading →

20130423 – Floods and Choosing Wisely

Tuesdays With Terry Posted on April 23, 2013 by Pondering PopsApril 23, 2014

Floods really change the landscape, usually only temporarily, but sometimes permanently. This past week I’ve watched the “off the beaten path” intersection near our home gradually become a small stretch of rapids in the Grand River, and a popular viewing spot for the neighborhood locals. It seems that intersection is within the 100-year flood plain of the river, and we’re … Continue reading →

20130416 – Friends

Tuesdays With Terry Posted on April 16, 2013 by Pondering PopsApril 23, 2014

Why is it such a pleasant experience to run into friends unexpectedly? Dave and Karen just happened to drop into my favorite haunt this morning and I invited them to join me for breakfast. I assured them they weren’t intruding, and we were able to catch up on things since their return from wintering in Florida. After a really nice … Continue reading →

20130409 – Just Being There …

Tuesdays With Terry Posted on April 9, 2013 by Pondering PopsApril 23, 2014

Sometimes the best thing about life in the sandwich and being a Grandpa is just being there. The newly transplanted California contingent was home for a week for E’s first birthday. Yesterday, my son and daughter-in-law were working at home, son-in-law was home with his parents and a little under the weather, and daughter was visiting for the day with … Continue reading →
