We decided to celebrate the end of summer and beginning of fall by taking our granddaughter to Potter’s Zoo. The Zoo is part of Potter Park in Lansing, Michigan. It is the oldest public zoo in Michigan. Accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) since 1986, the Zoo has also received the AZA […]
Recently our youngest granddaughter had a sleepover with us. We took her to a children’s museum. On the way home we started playing a game we had played with our children when they were little to pass the time on a road trip. My husband started by saying “I’m going on a picnic and I’m […]
Well I did it! I won the last Scrabble game of 2019 – making me the champion! My last post told the tale of my husband’s effort to catch me. My husband did his best – but couldn’t catch me. He tells me he is now depressed. (A joke only – he’s fine.) But guess […]
There is a popular Christmas song that many love and it gets a lot of air time at the holiday season. I love it too, especially the line that says “When you kiss your little baby, you kiss the face of God.” But I have to ask myself as I listen to this song, do […]
A new songbook called Olney Hymns was published in 1779 and one of the songs in the book became perhaps the best loved and well known hymn that is today known by another name. Guess what song it is! This song was part of a section in the hymn book that contained songs based on […]
As we enter Advent – the season of waiting – I have been reading scriptures that speak of the wait for the Messiah, the one who would save the world, scriptures that speak of our wait for our Lord’s return. Examining my life I realized I do a lot of waiting – but what am […]

I’m not really one to make new year’s resolutions but this year I have said I want to write more consistently and also to add to the blogs I now follow. So, how am I doing? Well- it’s is now the 4th of the month and I am just now starting to write again. Funny […]
My husband and I love to watch HGTV. Many of the programs show clients who say they are looking for their “forever home.” A place where they can put down roots and raise a family. A place where they can make memories to last a lifetime. That sounds so good. To have a place where […]
Just a few miles from my home is a sign that says “P.O.W. Camp Owosso.” The sign is outside of a oval track for car and motorcycle racing. Being new to this area, this sign caught my interest and I decided to do some research on the camp. Here is what I found. During World […]
What do you see when you look in the mirror? Many times when I look in the mirror, I do not like what I see. My neck is showing my age. My nose is too big. My pores get larger every year it seems. My hair is very thin (so I put on a wig […]

Yesterday it was 37 years since my first husband was killed in an accident. He died when the car he was working on fell on top of him and crushed him. My two young daughters came home from school and found him there. Needless to say, it was quite a traumatic experience for them. All […]
A few days before Thanksgiving I posted a blog from last year where I encouraged us to give thanks even in the midst of the chaos of 2020. Can We Give Thanks in 2020…..2021? Shortly after posting that blog my youngest daughter called to tell me she had some bad news. Our granddaughter had been […]
