Only The Good

These were my exercises in seeing "the good" before I began the "Only The Good" meme. Thank you for visiting!

Morning Coffee Is Good

February 25, 2010

No, I’m not talking about real coffee, although that’s pretty special. I’m talking about “Morning Coffee.” That is my contribution to this week’s Only The Good. It’s an application (or add-on) available for your Mozilla Firefox browser. I had no clue that it existed or that I wanted it until I [...]

Only The Good. Relax, Cat.

December 10, 2007

Cats sure know how to relax, don’t they?
We had a dreary day this weekend, and I wanted to curl up under my electric blanket. Unfortunately, the cats didn’t want to share the bed! That’s alright. Since I couldn’t sleep, I got some of my work done. Imagine for a moment [...]

Only The Good. A Messy Room

November 4, 2007

This is the chaos I left behind in my guest room, as I headed down to Houston for two weeks of work. Of course, I brought a carload of afghan squares to work on while I sit in the hotel in the evenings. I’m not very adventurous when it is a working week, [...]

Only The Good– A “Sinking” Feeling

October 25, 2007

I can laugh about it now. But, when we walked into our room at the Mendocino Hotel, I was not amused! This was the extent of my “bathroom.”

The toilets and showers were down the hall!
People, people, people!
Do I look like the kind of person who would be OK with sharing bathrooms? [...]

Only The Good. About Face

September 25, 2007

As we were riding around Dallas, TX trying to find some good places to shop for vintage clothing, my husband and I passed a high school with some remarkable artwork on its walls. I didn’t even write down the name of the school, or on what street it was located. All I know [...]

Only The Good. It’s A Dog’s Life

September 11, 2007

When I saw this dog on the back of the truck at a gas station in Oklahoma, my first thought was, “Danger!” The dog could fall off the truck, harming himself or causing a wreck.
But, this is a farm dog; and an obviously happy farm dog, as evidenced by the twinkle in his eye [...]

Only The Good—It’s For The Birds

September 5, 2007

We had been driving around town looking for garish yard decorations to photograph. I don’t know why. I think I wanted to poke fun at them, because sometimes I’m just ornery. We saw these birdhouses, and I shrieked, “Stop the car!”

My first thought when I saw this yard was, “Whooo Doggies! I [...]

Only The Good. An Aloof Visitor.

August 27, 2007

I’m an early riser. In fact, I get up waaaay early. Part of that is just being a menopausal old broad, but mostly I get up early because I love the peace and quiet before the world gets going. What I mean by that, is before the teenager rocks the house with [...]

Only The Good—Zoom Zoom

August 15, 2007

On Locust Street in Denton, TX, there is a tiny little convenience store called Zoom Zoom’s. Built back in 1929 as a gas station, it’s still a going concern (although I think just barely). The place doesn’t look very impressive if you are just driving past it, and most people just zoom on [...]

Only The Good—Here’s Looking At You

August 7, 2007

He’s all bug-eyed, isn’t he? I was out and about here in Denton, Texas putting up posters for the upcoming Share A Square Day. At the Visual Arts Center, as I walked through the shade of the trees, I glanced down at the sidewalk to see this fella looking up at me. [...]

Only The Good—The Old Diner

August 1, 2007

“Boy Howdy! That’s a run-down old diner!” you think to yourself. Don’t try to kid me; I know y’all are thinking that this is an eyesore. That’s how we are conditioned to look at the world. So often, we see the negative. That’s because finding the positive can be difficult [...]

Only The Good—Hummingbirds Bee-ware

July 24, 2007

Sometimes it’s hard to see the good in the world around us. Every time we turn on the television or pick up a newspaper, we get bombarded by news of war, crimes, accidents, hate, and destruction. We look at our checkbooks and see that money goes out faster than we can put it [...]

Only The Good—The Unkempt Yard

July 16, 2007

I am savoring the last few moments before my youngest child returns to his home in San Francisco. The past several days have been a whirlwind of activity. I’ll tell you about some of the things I’ve done, and some of the things I’ve “learned” later in the week. None of the [...]

Only The Good—There’s A Fungus Among Us

July 11, 2007

Ordinarily on a Wednesday, I would be participating in Wordless Wednesday where 200 plus bloggers post a picture, and then go around visiting and commenting (on this site you can leave a comment any time and get a link). It’s a wonderful way to meet other bloggers (I’ve met some great people that way). [...]
