Finally, spring had arrived! After a very long, cold and snowy winter, spring had come at last and warm temperatures were promised for the next week. We were so excited! At last the girls’ daddy could take them fishing in our pond. More important to me, now my husband and I could begin our new […]
There were some shepherds living in the same part of the country, keeping guard throughout the night over their flocks in the open fields. Suddenly an angel of the Lord stood by their side, the splendor of the Lord blazed around them, and they were terror-stricken. But the angel said to them, “Do not be […]
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 […]

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 […]
