  • It was Party Time!

    It was Party Time!

    Thanksgiving Week is always a party with special food preparation and with various family members scheduling time at home during their busy lives and schedules. This year was an extra special party time as we planned a birthday party during this time.  I can always see things that need doing or that I want to…

  • I am so Thankful!

    I am so Thankful!

    I have much to be grateful for as I think about the upcoming day that leads me and others to think about what has happened in this past year—Thanksgiving Day.  I want to say a huge thank you—to God, to my family, to my church and to my friends. I have many, many blessings—too many…

    Oh, no! I missed the ending. Now I’ll never know how it ended!

    Sleeping made me just a little bit mad this week! For some, including my husband, they do not get mad when they sleep. They want more and more and even more sleep, all that they are able to get. I admit that sleep is a good thing, generally, and often I do not get enough of…

  • Our Strange Lights!

    Our Strange Lights!

    Not long ago we had to make another trip together in our car. We have owned our car for less than 2 years but long enough that we should understand the car we own and drive, by now. We have made many excursions, both long and short in this car. However, it is made by a…

  • My trip this week!

    My trip this week!

    In my journey through life, I have had to deal with things that I did not think were going to be part of my life. For nearly 70 years I could proudly say that I had never had a broken bone (except for my pinkie toe!) or any other kind of surgery. That all changed…

  • I love a good story!

    I love a good story!

    My journey this week led me to this story from over 30 years ago! Gail passed by a crudely painted sign often on her way to work. In bold red letters painted on a yellow background were the words, “Peaches-U-Pick–3 mi.” Finally, one day on a drive, they decided to “go check it out.” Less than a…

  • Going Up and Down!

    Going Up and Down!

    Needing help to get out of a boat led me to think that I might need a ladder to be able to exit the boat. Then this week, as I looked out of my kitchen window, I could see two ladders up against one of our farm buildings. First, a shorter one appeared but no…

  • The Little Boat and making it useful!

    The Little Boat and making it useful!

    For some time one of our farm buildings has been the home for a boat! It is not a large boat but it isn’t a tiny boat either. The boat is quite shallow so it would be hard to tip it over and give its passengers a wet surprise. It’s a fishing boat! The reason…

  • Daddy, let’s go do guy stuff

    Daddy, let’s go do guy stuff

    For nearly every father that would be a priceless invitation. There is perhaps no more cherished invitation for a father than when his child, his son, comes to him with an enthusiastic, “Daddy, let’s go do guy stuff!” It’s an invitation for companionship, adventure, and shared purpose with just Daddy and son. It doesn’t matter what the “guy thing”…

  • I’m going to Travel!

    I’m going to Travel!

    When I was in grade school, the talk at times was about going into space for the first time. My best friend even named her horse Sputnik! Sputnik 1 was the world’s first artificial satellite, launched by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957. The launch of this small, beach ball-sized sphere initiated the Space…
