We often hear people say we should be color blind. When we look at someone we should not see white/black/brown but rather just a person. That sounds like a good idea. But it is one I cannot accept. First of all, I think it is simply not possible. How can you not observe what color […]
Dr. Randy Lovelace did the physical testing for NASA to help with the selection of the Mercury astronauts. His vision went much beyond just getting a man into orbit around the earth. He thought someday we would have space stations orbiting the earth where science research could be done. If that should happen, women would […]

Well now I guess it is official. As of April 8, 2019 I have become a Michigander. Six months ago my husband and I moved from northern Illinois to St Johns, Michigan – just about 20 miles north of the state capital of Lansing. Never in our wildest dreams did we think we would spend […]
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 […]
In 1866 an university was established in Nashville Tennessee that was open to women and men regardless of color. Founded by the American Missionary Association, Fisk University was only one of more than 500 schools and colleges this anti-slavery group set up before, during and after the Civil War. Five years after its founding, the […]

But it is one that we should know. Grandma’s Ramblings Hampton Park, Charleston, South Carolina. What a beautiful place to […]

Sticks and stones may break my bones But words can never harm me Growing up I heard this little rhyme many times. It was said to encourage those who were being bullied or harassed by others. However, this message is simply not true. Words have such power. Power to encourage, power to put down. Power […]
Planning for Christmas For weeks we have been planning for Christmas. Looking for bargains, some even gave up their Thanksgiving evening to fight the crowds on “Black Friday.” Family recipes were pulled out of the drawer, decorations out of the basement or attic. Children were excited as they made out their Christmas wish list. Churches were busy […]

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 […]
