Grandchildren are such a joy! But they grow up way too fast! I keep a journal writing down the funny things they say and do so I will never forget them. The journal is growing rapidly since the birth of my youngest granddaughter, Zoe. Say “Yes” or say “No” Taking Zoe for a walk along […]
I’m posting a blog from a mother who shares such a beautiful story of love and perseverance. And a reminder that we take so much for granted – including the ability to hear. Hope you will visit her blog and hear her story. Through Rose Colored Glasses and Bionic Ears: A Mom and Daughter’s Journey […]
Rosie Fern Sechrest – 4/16/1918 to 4/4/2006 Hard to believe it has been 12 years since my mother died. Hard to believe it has been that long. My birthday and my mother’s were only eight days apart so we often celebrated them together. The year my mother died my husband and I had gone down […]
We take for granted our freedom to pick up our Bible, head to our car on Sunday morning and walk into church without any fear of being killed, or hauled off to prison. Everywhere I look in my town I also see Jewish centers, Muslim mosques and even Hindu temples. On their religious days, there […]

My daughters “Shadow” and “Giggles” with their beloved Grandpa I remember his big hands. They were very large, yet always gentle. I remember the love and care he gave my daughters after their father was killed in an accident. I remember the nick names he gave to both of them. My oldest daughter was “Giggles” […]
Recently I began following another blogger whose posts I have enjoyed. Her post that caught my eye was listing five things she liked about herself. Check it out here: http://cyranny.com/2020/01/15/5-more-things-i-like-about-myself/ The whole point is that we are quick to find things about our self we do not like, things we want to change, things that […]
Tomorrow I will have an angiogram. After several weeks of chest pain, shortness of breath and extreme fatigue, my doctor did a stress test last week. The test indicates there may be some blockage in the lower part of my heart. Maybe – maybe not. So tomorrow I go in and if there is blockage […]

After a quick drive through Bay View Michigan where we discovered beautiful Victorian houses, we learned this community was part of the Chautauqua movement from the late 1800’s. Although the movement slowly died out in the 1920’s this community has remained active from its founding in 1875. Always interested in our country’s history I have […]

When we go to bed she gives Papa her “cutie” smile and in her “cutie” voice she asks: Papa, will you fix waffles in […]
