I just returned from New York, the sparkling “Big Apple.” In New York everything is dazzling and over the top. Big. Bright.I saw a lot of lights there. Macy’s dazzled. Ralph Lauren shimmered and Rockefeller Center sparkled.But. Nothing can surpass my Village of Light. Thank you, Little Village, for welcoming me home with a soft … Continue reading Village of LIGHT!

My Baby Quarantine

March 26, 2020March 27, 2020 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ Leave a comment

I am crawling in the darkness, full-blown, combat creep. My coordinates? Spare bedroom. Destination? Baby bed. Chirping fills the air, then slight whimpering and a tiny sob. My mission is to calm the baby. I cannot let her see me. I approach like a soldier on reconnaissance. At three months, my Baby is a social … Continue reading My Baby Quarantine

She was one of my extra moms.  Our daughters were buddies from kindergarten through high school.  Our homes were interchangeable. It was easy to share children. I was speechless when I found out Lisa had cancer.  It was one of those moments your mind is racing with an echoing, "WHY, WHY, WHY?" God and Lisa … Continue reading Lisa’s Life List

Christmas for Commoners

December 14, 2019December 14, 2019 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ Leave a comment

You wouldn’t want to sit next to them on the bus. Smelly. Dirt on their hands. Raggedy clothes. Shepherds were not popular in Bible times. They lived in the fields. They slept on the ground and smelled like their sheep. -Hardly A position to be honored. And yet.... God in all His glory sent them … Continue reading Christmas for Commoners

Thanksgiving

December 9, 2019 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ Leave a comment

On Thanksgiving day in New York City they couldn’t fly the Macy’s Parade balloons high in the air. Many balloons were grounded. Gusting wind whipped through the cavernous streets. There was a chill in the air. I was cleaning and working in a small apartment above those streets. There was no turkey and dressing on … Continue reading Thanksgiving

Seasons: FALL

October 31, 2019October 31, 2019 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 3 Comments

I’m writing about seasons.  I’m writing about ghosts.  This is the first in a series. Indian Summer Saturday blossomed on our farm hilltop. Gold flickered up from the bristling corn stalks. They crackled and shimmered in the breeze. It was a glorious day.  We were  working. The barn was dreary and dusty.  We had to … Continue reading Seasons: FALL

Grateful: An Island Story

August 19, 2019August 20, 2019 ~ Laurie Meek Watkins ~ 4 Comments

Three lessons today, God. Hmmm.  OK. I think I got the message. I haven’t exactly been a stellar wife lately.  As I’ve noted before, this Type A gal tends to be high on crabby and low on patience.  God knows I need a lesson in gratitude.  Lesson # 1 I saw John. He was a … Continue reading Grateful: An Island Story
