I’m having waffles in the morning made by my husband. I know that because our little granddaughter is spending the night with us and she always wants Papa’s waffles for breakfast. When we go to bed she gives Papa her “cutie” smile and in her “cutie” voice she asks: Papa, will you fix waffles in […]
As I wrote a few weeks ago, turning 70 was an emotional time for me. I’m “Officially” Old! In sharing with one of my good friends, who recently also turned 70, we came up with some quotes about being old. (Can’t claim these as originals.) You know you are getting old when: You used to […]
Almost two years ago my husband and I moved to Michigan. Situated close to the middle of the “mitten” we have spent the last two years exploring this beautiful state. We have fallen in love with the many small towns around the state that are full of arts and crafts, charming down towns that have […]
Walking with Jesus as my friend and redeemer for many years, I found Him faithful in every circumstance. Yet, I must confess, sometimes when things get difficult I seem to forget His faithfulness and start worrying. Recently, thinking about this I thought my reaction really depends on where I stand in my relationship to Him. […]
My husband and I hold services at two different assisted living facilities and I also give a piano concert twice a month at one of them. Today my husband shared with the residents the story in the Gospel of Luke about the ten lepers that came to Jesus asking to be healed. That story really […]
My youngest granddaughter spent Saturday night with us while Mom and Dad celebrated their anniversary. She always seems to have a hard time going to sleep. I’m not sure if her brain will just not shut down so she can sleep or if she keeps her brain going to avoid sleep. After reading books and […]
She has always been there. My “big” sister, Velma. I call her big, not because she is physically bigger than me. In fact, I think she is a little smaller. But she was my oldest sibling and calling her “big” sister is probably better than calling her my “old” sister. Me and my “big” sister, […]
Last year I shared how my youngest granddaughter uses her imagination and pulls me into her “make-believe” world as she plays with the toy animals my husband gave her a few years ago. Last week she stayed with us as her parents were out of town on work-related trips. I thought we had covered every […]
This week I took a short trip with my youngest daughter flying from Michigan to North Carolina to see a granddaughter graduate from college. What a great time I had not only seeing this granddaughter graduate, but also seeing my oldest daughter and all of her family. For my daughter and I it was a […]
Home again after taking a trip to the top of the mitten to see the Tunnel of Trees. Since moving to Michigan last year I have heard a lot about this short section of highway (approximately 27 miles) that follows the shore of Lake Michigan and the Little Traverse Bay. Told by many how beautiful […]
Almost two years ago my husband and I moved to Michigan. Situated close to the middle of the “mitten” we have spent the last two years exploring this beautiful state. We have fallen in love with the many small towns around the state that are full of arts and crafts, charming down towns that have […]
Last year we moved to Michigan in October – just in time to enjoy the beautiful fall colors! The street we moved to had big trees up and down the block and every time we went somewhere I loved driving down our street. We were told about a place on the northern part of the […]
We Americans like to think how great and advanced our nation is – and we are. But during this cold snap I had a few scary thoughts on just how dependent we are on our great advanced technologies – and what would we do if something happened to them. The energy company that supplies our […]
