DISCLAIMER: I am not advocating for either candidate. How you vote is strictly your privilege as an American and I do not desire to try to influence anyone in any direction. But as one who loves the Lord and hates it when I hear someone say “Jesus Christ” as a swear word, I can’t stop […]

One story my husband hates for me to tell – but I get such fun out of telling is the Sunday a visitor showed up at church. My husband loved to get out of the office and into the community. He felt just sitting at a desk all week was not the best way to be […]

Their slogan for these toys was “Weebles Wobble but They Don’t Fall Down.” Inside […]
Tomorrow my youngest granddaughter starts high school. How did that happen? When did she grow from a little girl to a beautiful young woman? While I enjoy our new relationship as we relate more adult to adult, I confess I miss playing “imagine” with her. These twelve toy animals have been stored in a box […]
