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 recently wrote about one of my daughters who has grown up to be a minister and just happens to also be my pastor. What she does every day is great – studying God’s Word to share with her congregation, counseling, advising those struggling with problems, sharing in the lives of the people in both […]
My young granddaughter loves to watch HGTV with us. She especially loves the show “Flip or Flop.” Recently we took her to see an old factory that was being torn down. Piles of brick and twisted steel were everywhere and there was still a large portion of the building standing with big gaps in the […]
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 […]
Now celebrating 16 years cancer free. Every October as we observe Breast Cancer Awareness I still thank God that He heard my plea and has given me all these additional years.

I’m posting a blog from a mother who shares such a beautiful story of love and perseverance. And a reminder that we take so much for granted – including the ability to hear. Hope you will visit her blog and hear her story. Through Rose Colored Glasses and Bionic Ears: A Mom and Daughter’s Journey […]
This past year has been so crazy! And the TV news channels I think have only added to the confusion and division. Depending on whether you watch CNN or FOX News you usually get a different take on the same story. One evening I just flipped back and forth between the two and I could […]
Temperatures are dropping as the leaves on the trees also fall to earth. Clocks have been set back an hour and the evenings get dark so much earlier than before. In the stores some are already putting up Christmas decorations, even playing Christmas music. Many of my friends love this time and think it is […]
Don’t you just hate it when you are going through a time of stress or difficulties that cause you to begin to worry and then some Pollyanna comes along and says: Recently I have been stressed out. My husband and I have begun downsizing and making plans to move to a smaller place which will […]
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 […]
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 […]

Granted, I am concerned about Ebola becoming a serious issue for our country. I have no idea which side of the fence I should be on in this argument about banning travel and putting quarantines in place. I’ll leave that issue for those more qualified than I am. However, to describe our country’s situation as a […]
