Unexpected, Unwanted Call I last posted on my blog in April. While we were on vacation, we got that unwanted, unexpected phone call in the night. A police officer called to tell us that our son had been found dead in his apartment. While we knew he was not in good health (a disabled veteran) […]

I’m still laughing today! All my married life my husband has teased me about my “southern twang.”  There are many words that I clearly do not say correctly – that is – if your standard is the “General American” accent.

In Christian circles we use the word “worship” to often refer to the twenty or so minutes we spend on Sunday morning singing songs. Depending on the church you attend the music may be very formal with hymn books, organ and perhaps a choir.  It may consist of words projected overhead on a screen with […]

Getting ready for a fall road trip, I recently opened some pictures from a fall road trip taken three years ago.  While driving through the scenic St. Croix River Valley in Minnesota we found an amazing outdoor sculpture park. Founded in 1996 Franconia has an active artist residency program.  Each year the park has over […]

While visiting the St Croix River Valley we found the site of the first commercial sawmill in what became the state of Minnesota.  Two lumbermen from Marine Illinois, David Hone and Lewis Judd, finding the area’s abundant white pine, decided to build a sawmill here.  They named the spot Marine after their hometown in Illinois.  […]

This week’s song is one of my husband’s favorites.  He has often performed this song in church services and at “gospel sings.” The song starts with a question: Why should I feel […]
