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 […]
Those of you who have followed my posts for awhile know that my husband and I are Scrabble addicts. We play with a super scrabble board. It has more spaces for words than a regular Scrabble board and 200 tiles instead of 100. We have kept a record of our scores since 2008 and are […]

Our country is experiencing a crisis most of us never thought possible. The panic that has caused stores to run out of toilet paper, hand sanitizers and eggs seems a little crazy. Yet the fear that we will not have enough – that we will get sick – and how will we pay the bills […]

It’s Friday – time again for a post on the old church hymns. This week as I thought about what song to write one very old hymn came to mind. So I ask – What picture do you see when you think of God? From reading the Bible I have found some unusual pictures. A […]
Recently I began following another blogger whose posts I have enjoyed. Her post that caught my eye was listing five things she liked about herself. Check it out here: http://cyranny.com/2020/01/15/5-more-things-i-like-about-myself/ The whole point is that we are quick to find things about our self we do not like, things we want to change, things that […]
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 […]
What a beautiful picture we have of that first Christmas! Mary and Joseph, dressed in plain, but neat, clothes. The baby is wrapped in a clean blanket and the shepherds and Wise Men all stand or sit on the clean straw. And one of our most beloved Christmas carols make it all sound so peaceful and […]
When we first moved to Michigan I was intrigued to find there were many areas in the state where there had been Underground Railroad activity before the Civil War.. Located close to Canada, Battle Creek was one of the main stops for slaves traveling by foot through Indiana, Detroit and then Canada. One of the […]
Long before electricity came to my grandmother’s house she had an icebox. This was a wooden box usually lined with straw or sawdust that sat in the kitchen or pantry. The ice man would come around with a 25 to 50 pound block of ice. My mother grew up with the ice box and even […]
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.
