On our last road trip of 2019 we headed to the top of the lower peninsula of Michigan to see the beautiful fall trees. Just outside Traverse City we came across a beautiful little community with huge Victorian houses. They were so picturesque we had to take time to drive through the community. From the […]

Tomorrow my big sister will be 80 years old. Can’t believe that! To me she is still my role model. In her honor I am sharing this post again about sisters. If you read this Sis, Happy Birthday. (Hope you don’t mind I told everyone how old you are.) You are in spirit still a […]
I have always been interested in history – especially American and English history. My library contains biographies on almost every American president, most of our founding fathers, and other men or women who have played an important part in our country political system. Growing up I was told my grandmother was Irish. She had red […]

My parents died in the same year – Mom in April and Dad in August. I remember my sisters and I looking at each other and saying “We are now the older generation.” Until that time we could think of ourselves as young – it was our parents’ and their siblings who were old. But […]
Many American children are looking forward to the arrival of Santa Claus on Christmas Eve, bearing presents for good little boys and girls. But most of those celebrating don’t know that there is a real man behind the story of Santa Claus, and that real man was a Christian persecuted because of his faith and […]
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 […]
When my husband and I take a trip we love to sometimes get in the car and head out with no particular destination. We just drive until something catches our eye; often we say “I wonder where that road goes” and off we go to find out where it will lead us. Even when we […]
Remember the fairy tale where the wicked stepmother would ask: Last Sunday in church the speaker taught from the book of James where James wrote: Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone […]
I wrote this blog two years ago but today I’m still celebrating that it is now seven years and I’m still counting! God has been good to me! Grandma’s Ramblings November 4, 2002 – Call from doctor – biopsy shows I have cancer. November 14, 2002 – Surgeon tells me after surgery that the cancer […]
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 […]
