Me holding the walking stick my grandson made me to help me with my arthritic knees. It stands by my front door as a daily remind of his grandson’s love for me. Today is the birthday of one of my grandsons, Matthew. Remembering when he was born, I always stop and thank God that he […]

In 2017 my husband, along with our youngest daughter and our granddaughter made a trip to Casey, Illinois to see the small town that boasted: While there we saw nine creations by Jim Bolin that have made the Guinness Book of World Records.
